Worlds 2020: dates and schedule according to Riot Games

Play-in phase (September 25^th, 26^th, 27^th, and 28^th) at 12:00 GMT
Play-in phase (September 28^th and 29^th) at 10:00 GMT
Group phase (October 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 6^th and 8^th, 9^th, 11^th) at 12:00 GMT
Quarter finals (October 15^th, 16^th, 17^th, 18^th) at 14:00 GMT
Semifinals (October 24^th and 25^th) at 14:00 GMT
Final (October 31^st) at 14:00 GMT

About the first phase of the championship, we will have 10 teams. In this stage (Play-in Phase) we will have two groups where all the teams will confront each other. After this phase, the best placed teams will go to the Group Phase of the World Cup. The worst placed teams will be eliminated. Meanwhile, the third and fourth best placed teams will have to digest each other in a Bo5. At this stage, whoever wins will go on to the next one.

It is worth remembering that the Worlds take place in several different cities. For example, in the year 2019 we had clashes in Berlin, Madrid and Paris. However, this year things have changed. Riot Games has chosen to host the competition in only one city, in Shanghai, China. All this is because we try to minimise all the risks to players, employees or anyone else involved in the production of the World Cup.
