The LCS Spring 2026 Playoffs are finally here, and North America's League of Legends scene is ready to deliver. Cloud9, TLAW, LYON and FLY are all within 1-2 games of each other after the regular season, making this one of the most competitive playoff fields in years.
The LCS Spring 2026 Playoffs run a double-elimination format, so teams get a second chance even after a loss. It all starts May 23-24, with Cloud9 taking on FLY in the first Upper Bracket Semifinal, a BO5 that could instantly define the narrative of the entire tournament.
The winner advances to the Upper Bracket Final live at Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles. The loser drops to the Lower Bracket, where every series from that point is elimination.

Mark these dates:
The Spring Finals land at the ASU campus in Tempe, Arizona, on June 13-14. This is also a direct stepping stone to the EWC 2026 LoL NA Qualifier, where NA's best will fight for a spot at the Esports World Cup.
Cloud9 enter as many people's top pick. Their macro and team coordination have been sharp all split, and they're a known playoff performer with pedigree to back it up.
FLY have been the surprise package of the season, running aggressive early-game setups that punish any passive opponents. They've earned their spot and they're not here to lose quietly.
LYON battled through some inconsistency mid-split but found their groove late in the season. Their ability to adapt their draft style makes them a genuine threat to either favorite.
TLAW bring an unconventional playstyle that can catch veteran squads off-guard. If they can play to their strengths and avoid getting outscaled, an upset run isn't out of the question. With the LCS meta shifting hard in Patch 26.11, champion pool depth could be the deciding factor in any series.
