Here are all the details on The First Stand 2026 you need to keep up with the event, including match results, schedules, and more!

The First Stand 2026 is here with the first international event of the League of Legends competitive season. Only the best from each region reached the tournament, which will be held in São Paulo, Brazil from March 16 to March 22.

This event marks the return of international competitions to the country after nine years. However, it has already faced some issues, particularly regarding the arena’s location and its limited capacity of around 140 people.

Schedule and match results

The First Stand 2026 will be a seven-day tournament featuring the best teams from each region, with the exception of China and Korea, which will each have two representatives. Bilibili Gaming, BNK FEARX, G2 Esports, Team Secret Whales, Gen.G, JD Gaming, LYON, and LOUD will fight for the first international trophy of the year. The official draw was conducted once the final representatives were confirmed.

All the matches will be best-of-five (Bo5). The top four teams will advance to the Knockout Stage, where they will compete to determine the tournament’s finalists.
