LEC Versus 2026 Playoffs Schedule & Format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the Regular Season done and dusted, eight teams have made it to the Playoffs Stage. Running from Feb. 16 to March 1, the LEC Versus 2026 Playoffs Stage starts at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A double-elimination bracket format will have all teams compete in best-of-three matches during Rounds 1 and 2. All other matches are best-of-five, and every match uses the Fearless Draft system, where a Champion<\/a> cannot be played more than once in a series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finals Weekend (Feb. 27 to March 1) forms part of the LEC Roadtrip, where the top four teams will travel to Spain to compete at the Olimpic Arena in Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
