Format
The 2022 LEC Summer split will feature best-of-one games that pit the 10 teams in the league against each in a double round-robin. This means that each team will play a total of 18 games.
These 18 games for each team will be played over the course of several weeks. On certain weeks, teams will play three games. However, teams will play twice for a week for the majority of the regular season. After the end of the regular season, the top eight teams will qualify for playoffs.

A couple of these teams did end up making some roster changes ahead of the 2022 LEC summer split. Among the notable moves, MAD Lions decided to add Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer to their roster as their new mid-laner.
