SOOP will open a dedicated event page for the 2026 LoL World Championship (hereinafter Worlds) on October 15. The platform has prepared viewer-participation programs and will distribute a total of 100,000 "Hextech Chest & Key" sets through a raffle based on watch time during each stage of the tournament.
Live broadcasts of all Worlds matches will be hosted on the official SOOP LCK channel. Seven streamers—Kim Min-gyo, Lee Sang-ho, Annyeong Suya, Smebim, Gamja Gabi, Dewdan, and Gosegu—will participate in official co-streaming. LCK partner teams DNS and KRX will also broadcast the matches on their official channels, with active LCK players scheduled to co-stream as well.
The tournament, which serves as the grand finale for the year's LoL esports, kicks off on October 16 with the Play-In Stage. It will then proceed through the Swiss Stage and Knockout Stage before holding the Finals on November 15. According to the detailed announcement, viewer-participation events will run from the tournament's opening day through the Finals.
Watch rewards will be offered based on daily match missions and watch time per stage. In the Mission Advent Calendar, completing the missions presented on each match day will grant a different reward every time. The Drops event will operate as a raffle based on watch time, while also giving viewers a chance to receive Gems through redeem codes disclosed unannounced during official broadcasts.
The Cheering Gauge and Match Prediction are programs where users can participate in team cheering and predicting match results. In the Cheering Gauge, viewers can select an LCK participating team to root for and enter a prize raffle once reaching the target level. The logo of the selected team will appear in front of the user's nickname in the official SOOP LCK stream chat. In Match Prediction, which involves predicting the winners of every Worlds match, prize opportunities are given not only to top performers but also to general participants.
An event will also be held where watching official co-streaming broadcasts gives viewers a chance to win autographed jerseys from players of SOOP's partner teams—Gen.G, T1, and Dplus KIA. Along with Live Gem entries, new emotes for the three teams participating in Worlds will also be distributed. Participation details and rewards for each event will be provided on the dedicated SOOP esports page.
