Logitech Korea, the Korean subsidiary of personal peripherals specialist Logitech (Country Manager: Jung-Hoon Cho), announced on January 13 that it has signed an official partnership with League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), South Korea’s League of Legends esports league.

Logitech has steadily continued its association with the LCK for nine consecutive years, starting with the 2018 LCK Summer, further solidifying its standing as a leading gaming-gear company. As an LCK sponsor, Logitech will provide a range of support to help ensure stable league operations, while also expanding its touchpoints with LCK fans through linked programs designed to further strengthen the connection between the LCK and its fan community.

The 2026 LCK will enter its full-fledged season beginning with the LCK Cup, which opens on the 14th. While carrying forward the direction of change established in 2025, the schedule will be more condensed and the entertainment factors of matches will be enhanced. First, the LCK Cup will retain its existing group-versus-group structure, but in Week 3 it will introduce a Super Week, scheduling head-to-head matchups between teams that received the same seed. Matches during that week will be played as best-of-five series (first to three wins), heightening tension and stakes.

The regular season will then be reduced to four rounds. While the operational structure that splits teams into the Legend Group and the Rise Group after Rounds 1–2 will be maintained, the league plans to run a tighter late-season race in consideration of schedules such as the Asian Games. In particular, the postseason is expected to become a more strategic and immersive season by refining its competitive structure—for example, expanding the playoffs into a full double-elimination format starting from Round 1.

Jung-Hoon Cho, Country Manager of Logitech Korea, said, “It is deeply meaningful to continue alongside the LCK in 2026 as it strengthens its competitiveness through ongoing change and evolution,” adding, “As an official partner of the LCK, Logitech will actively support the league by providing an environment in which players can perform at their best, and by helping us move forward powerfully toward a new season together with the fans.”

LCK Secretary General Jung-Hoon Lee also commented, “Thanks to Logitech being with the LCK for nine consecutive years, the LCK has grown into the world’s premier LoL esports league and into global premier content that can be enjoyed by multiple generations,” and added, “In 2026 as well, we will do our utmost to ensure the LCK becomes a league that delivers even more fun and emotionally resonant moments that fans can truly connect with.”

Meanwhile, Logitech is supplying a range of gaming gear to the esports scene, including the wireless gaming mouse PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2c and the wireless gaming headset PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED—products refined through collaboration with global professional esports players. Through close partnerships, Logitech supports players so they can focus on training and competition in a stable environment, and it continues its long-term commitment of growing alongside the esports industry.
