Rules

How to play

Pick the winner of every Worlds 2026 match: 6 Play-In series, 33 Swiss matches and 7 Knockout series.

Each match locks at its scheduled start time from Riot's official schedule. Until then you can change your pick as often as you like. After lock, everyone's picks for that match become visible.

New matches appear as soon as their teams are known. You can join at any point and pick every match that hasn't started. Matches you miss score 0.

Underdog double: if the team you picked had under a 40% chance on Polymarket when the match locked and it wins, that pick scores double. Odds are recorded at the moment of lock, so everyone is scored on the same number.

Results

Results come from Riot Games' official LoL Esports data and are cross-checked against Polymarket. Staff can correct a result if a feed is wrong.

A match that is cancelled, forfeited before it starts, or ruled void scores no points for anyone.

Leaderboard and ties

Players are ranked by total points. Ties are broken in this order: more correct picks, correct Grand Final pick, more correct Semifinal picks, then the earlier sign-up.

Eligibility and fair play

Polymarket creators can play at launch; community sign-ups open later. To be eligible for prizes you must join the Polymarket Esports Discord and follow @PolymarketLoL on X.

One account per person. Multiple, shared or automated accounts are removed from the prize zone. Staff decisions on eligibility are final.

Free to play. No purchase or trading is needed to enter or win.
