Like previous years, the LEC plays through three different splits over the year, including Winter Split, Spring Split, and Summer Split. Each season segment is finished with a more significant event, like the Mid-Season Invitation in Spring and LoL Worlds in Summer.
To determine their qualification and seeding for these big tournaments, each team can earn Championship Points based on their performances in their home league.
For 2024, the LEC Winter season is divided into the Regular Season and the Bracket Stage/Playoffs. Unlike other professional regional leagues, there is no Group Stage.
