Riot Games has revealed that the 2022 League of Legends World Championship will take place in four locations throughout North America. The seven-year contract was confirmed Monday in an announcement made by Riot Games. This marks the first time that League of Legends has been hosted outside of Europe, China, and South Korea. North America will be one of four locations where the final two seasons of the League Championship Series (LCS) will take place before culminating in a global grand final played at a stadium or arena near you in 2022.
Although there is no news yet on specific locations for each season, it is expected that North America’s two grand finals would be played at Madison Square Garden and Times Square respectively as both games are likely to have more than 15 million concurrent viewers this year.
