With LoL Worlds rapidly approaching, fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation on when they'll be able to see their favourite players on the international stage. So when is LoL Worlds 2022? The tournament is set to kick off with the Play-Ins Stage – hosted at the Arena Esports Stadium at Artz Pedregal in Mexico City, Mexico – on September 29. From there, the Worlds tour will head over to the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden, New York City for both the Group Stage and Quarterfinals. The Semifinals were originally set to be held in Toronto, Canada, but will now be held in Atlanta, Georgia's State Farm Arena due to COVID issues. Finally, the lucky finalists will duke it out for the coveted Worlds trophy at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. Here, only the best team will carve its name into the annals of Worlds history. You can check out the dates for each stage below: Play-Ins: September 29 – October 4 Group Stage: October 7 – October 10 Quarterfinals: October 20 – October 23 Semifinals: October 29 – October 30 Finals: November 5 Worlds 2022 is set to host 24 teams from across the globe.
