The awards season is in full swing as we approach the end of the year, and now we have another top ceremony that fans can look forward to. The League Awards 2025 will take place in a few days, bringing together players, content creators and teams for an unforgettable celebration of excellence in League of Legends esports.
The League Awards was founded and is hosted by renowned esports personalities Eefje "Sjokz" Depoortere and Marc "Caedrel" Lamont. It aims to honor the exceptional talents, moments, and contributions that make the League of Legends community vibrant and dynamic.
Here's everything readers need to know about the 2025 edition, including the details on categories and broadcasts.
League Awards 2025 date and broadcasts
The second edition of this League of Legends esports extravaganza will be held on November 28 from 1800 Central European Time (CET). Although the event will be held in the VIP Lounge of Munich's SAP Garden, there will be no crowd participation. Instead, it will be an online affair and will be broadcast live on Caedrel's official Twitch channel.
Like last year, there will be a few other content creators who will be livestreaming the event from the comfort of their homes. It remains to be seen who tunes in live this year, along with their audiences, but interested fans can check out their favourite streamers' social media/channel pages to see if they will be co-casting the ceremony.
League Awards 2025 categories
This year, there will be 15 categories across the global League of Legends scene, with Caedrel claiming that the aim was to "celebrate everyone across the whole world for League." The nominations were announced following 189,075 nomination submissions from the community, and voting was open to the public until November 24.
Some of the biggest names related to Riot Games' legendary Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) to get nominated include Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok and his Korean rival, Jung "Chovy" Ji-hoon. Top LoL creators like Niklot "Tolkin" Stüber and Ludwig "Ludwig" Ahgren are also nominated for awards.
