The League of Legends Worlds 2026 semifinals kick off at 10pm UK time tonight, as Gen.G take on Invictus Gaming in Texas before defending champions T1 face Bilibili Gaming at the same time tomorrow night.
Riot Games' official schedule has both semifinals starting at 4pm Central Time at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas, which works out at 10pm here now that the clocks have gone back on both sides of the Atlantic, so it's a late one, but nowhere near the 3am alarms some past Worlds have asked of UK fans.
Worlds 2026 semifinal and final times in the UK
- Saturday, November 7, 10pm UK: Gen.G vs Invictus Gaming
- Sunday, November 8, 10pm UK: T1 vs Bilibili Gaming
- Saturday, November 14, 7pm UK: the Worlds 2026 final at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York
Those are Riot's broadcast start times, so the first game may begin a little after the show goes live, and as the semis are best-of-five series, tonight could easily run past midnight if it goes the distance. You can watch on the official LoL Esports channels on Twitch and YouTube, as well as on lolesports.com.
Three-peat, meet four-peat
Gen.G booked their spot with a 3-0 sweep of LYON on November 4, while Invictus Gaming got past Top Esports 3-1, according to esports.net's round-up, so tonight's opener is a straight Korea vs China scrap for the first place in Brooklyn.
Tomorrow's match is the one most eyes will be on, though, as T1 knocked Karmine Corp, and with them Europe's last hope, out of the tournament 3-1 in the quarterfinals, and they're now two series away from a fourth world title in a row after winning in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Standing in their way are Bilibili Gaming, who swept Dplus KIA 3-0 to get here and will be very keen to stop Faker and co from treating the Summoner's Cup like a family heirloom.
The winners meet in Brooklyn on November 14, with the final starting at 7pm UK time, which is a far kinder slot for a Saturday night. If all this has you itching to queue up yourself, our guide on how to itemise in League of Legends is a good place to brush up first.
Well, grab the snacks and maybe a strong cup of tea, as it's going to be a late one.
