The 2023 League Championship Series Spring Split is only a few weeks away, and while the conversation regarding the surrounding LCS ecosystem has been a bit doom and gloom in recent weeks, the premiere North American LoL Esports competition being less than two weeks away is something worth being excited about.
Looking to follow the action as it unfolds? Here’s everything you need to know!
2023 LCS Spring Split Schedule
The LCS is in a new time slot in 2023, with games not taking place on the weekend for the first time in the league’s decade-long history. The LCS will kick off on Thursday, January 26 at 12:00pm PT, with games also being played on Friday, January 27 starting at the same time.
A total of eight weeks in a row will see games played on Thursdays and Fridays, with Week 4 and Week 8 adding an extra set of games on Saturday to finish the double round robin of the Spring Split. While there has been no schedule for the 2023 LCS Spring Playoffs released by Riot Games, in seasons past, this portion of the tournament has begun a week or two following the conclusion of the split.
