Riot Games has announced that the 2024 League of Legends World Championship Finals will take place at The O2 in London.

Scheduled for November 2024, The O2 is the world’s most popular live entertainment, leisure, and retail destination, which is a fitting venue for such a grand event. The venue is the UK’s second-highest seating capacity venue and is renowned for hosting legendary artists and bands, including the likes of Adele, Beyoncé, and U2, as well as major sporting events including NBA games and ATP tennis season finales. The colossal dome structure spans 365 meters in diameter, making it one of the largest of its kind in the world.

“We’re thrilled to bring the World Final to the UK for the first time,” said Naz Aletaha, Global Head of LoL Esports. “Worlds is a global celebration of the best of League of Legends, and London’s rich history and modern metropolis is a perfect backdrop for the biggest stage in our sport. We were blown away by the passion and energy from fans in London throughout the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational, and we’re eager to welcome them to the O2 where our finalists will take the same stage as the many icons who preceded them.”

“London is a leading destination for esports, and it’s fantastic that we will host the League of Legends World Championship Finals next year,” said Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London. “It will bring together esports fans from across the globe and also showcase our capital’s cutting edge gaming industry. I will continue to do all I can to support esports development and growth in London, as we build a better London for everyone.”

Ticket sales for the 2024 World Final, to be held on November 2, 2024, will be announced at a later date next year.
