The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) Wild Card is back again in 2026, Riot Games announced.
LoL teams from Southeast Asia (SEA) are once again competing for qualification into the LCP Promotion Series. The goal is to be promoted to the LCP.
In order to expand LCP access, Riot Games said it will organize Wild Card 2026 qualifiers in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
Southeast Asian teams can compete in the Last Chance Qualifier after the regional qualifiers. Last Chance Qualifier teams can also be from other eligible regions and past Wild Card Qualifiers.

Teams will engage in a two-day single-elimination best-of-1 (Bo1) bracket format. Only the top four teams from Day 1 will proceed to the Knockout Round. The Dat 2 will be a rematch, with all teams in a new bracket, with the exception of the top four teams that have already advanced. In the Open Round, the selection of a side will be decided by a coin flip, and the format will be a Tournament Draft.
Knockout Round
In a double-elimination best-of-3 (Bo3) bracket, the 8 teams that qualified from the Open Round will be tested, with the Grand Finals being a best-of-5 (Bo5) series. The Knockout Round will consist of all matches being contested in Fearless Draft. The side selection for Game 1 will be determined by a coin flip, and the losing team will select the side for the next games.
Teams are competing for a portion of the USD 2,000 prize pool, while the victors of each qualifier will advance to the LCP Wild Card Playoffs.
