It is an exciting time to be an esports fan with all of the locations for the next three seasons have been fully revealed now. This includes the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational exact location. We already knew what country it was going to be in, but now we know the exact location. Amongst that, Riot has released the full schedule for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

Let’s take a look at what has been revealed in the most recent League of Legends dev update.

MSI 2025 Canada location revealed

Although it was announced during a Worlds 2024 press conference that MSI 2025 was heading to North America, more specifically to Canada, it’s now been revealed that Vancouver will be the home for the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational. MSI 2025 will be the conclusion of the second split in competitive League of Legends, resuming in a similar spot to what it’s always been, but this year it’s more of a taster of what is to come at the 2025 League of Legends World Championship in China. 

Although Toronto has been one of the main hubs for esports events in Canada, Vancouver has taken the spot for the second biggest League of Legends event of the year. This isn’t the first time we have seen a League of Legends event in Vancouver. The city played host to the 2017 LCS Spring finals between Cloud9 and TSM. It has not yet been revealed which arenas will be hosting MSI 2025, but this article will be updated when we find out more information.

LoL Esports 2026 and 2027 locations revealed

In the past Riot has started to keep the locations of international tournaments close to their chest, but now fans can fully start planning their travels as the 2026 and 2027 locations for First Stand, MSI, and Worlds have been revealed. Let’s take a look at the locations for these events:

2026:

• First Stand: Brazil
• MSI: Korea
• Worlds: North America

2027 

• First Stand: Southeast Asia
• MSI: Europe
• Worlds: Korea

This gives fans plenty of time to plan their trips well in advance, a long-time problem lolesports fans have had with Riot. In the past, Riot would hold off on sharing international locations with fans until it was too late for some fans to make arrangements, now fans will have plenty of time to adjust.
