Franchised teams from North America, LATAM, and Brazil will compete at the Riot Games Arena in Santa Monica in a weekly best-of-three (bo3) match, except for the "super week," where teams will play two matches.
Following the regular season, the top six teams will earn their spot in the double-elimination bracket playoffs to decide which top three teams will compete in Masters Tokyo and cement their qualification into Champions later this year.
