KeSPA Cup: July 20 Return, Streaming on Disney+

The highly anticipated KeSPA Cup, South Korea’s top League of Legends preseason event, is slated to return on July 20th, featuring all 10 LCK teams. This means powerhouse teams like T1, Hanwha Life Esports, Gen.G, and more will compete in what has become a staple tournament to kick off the season.

Organized by the Korea Esports Association (KeSPA), this annual event has been a standout since its revival in 2014, shifting from its original StarCraft roots to focus on League of Legends. The 2025 edition saw T1 claim victory over Hanwha Life Esports in a nail-biting 3-2 final match.

What’s particularly exciting about the 2026 KeSPA Cup is its new date in July, a departure from its usual December schedule. This change marks a significant shift for the tournament, typically bridging the gap between competitive seasons.

In a groundbreaking move, Disney+ has secured exclusive streaming rights for the KeSPA Cup, adding this esports event to their expanding portfolio. This collaboration follows Disney+’s recent foray into Korean esports, including the Esports Champions Asia Jinju 2026 event.

Excitement is mounting as fans gear up to witness their favorite LCK teams battle it out on the Rift in the upcoming KeSPA Cup. Get ready for intense competition and thrilling matchups on Disney+ starting July 20th!
