League of Legends Clash Schedule (2026)

Last Updated: Aug 26, 2026 - New Clash Dates Added

League of Legends Clash is Riot's in-client, team-based tournament mode that puts players into competitive bracket play. This structured tournament system features 8-team brackets (or 16-team brackets) running across Summoner's Rift or ARAM maps, typically spanning two days with the flexibility to participate in one or both tournament days.

To perform well in Clash, players often rely on LoL accounts that give them access to a wider champion pool and better-ranked matchmaking. In this article, we'll explore everything you need to know about Clash in League of Legends, including the requirements, the number of matches, and the schedule.

League of Legends Clash Schedule Summary

• League of Legends Clash is Riot's in-client tournament mode for premade teams of five, run across structured eight-team brackets on Summoner's Rift or ARAM

• Entry requires Level 30, completed placements in a Summoner's Rift ranked queue for Summoner's Rift Clash, and SMS phone verification, while ARAM Clash skips the ranked requirement

• The 2026 calendar includes 12 confirmed tournament weekends, running from January through December with six Summoner's Rift cups and six ARAM cups

• Each Clash weekend spans Saturday and Sunday as separate tournaments, so teams can enter one day, both days, or swap rosters between them

• Team formation opens on the Monday before each tournament weekend, and every player needs a Basic or Premium Ticket before locking in

• Basic Tickets unlock a Clash Orb reward track while Premium Tickets unlock an upgraded Clash Capsule track, with rewards scaling based on total wins and losses

• Losing the opening match doesn't end a team's run since consolation bracket games still count toward the final record used for rewards

• Every participant receives an Orb or Capsule regardless of placement, with the strongest rewards going to teams that finish 3-0

Clash Requirements

Riot Games has implemented specific requirements to maintain competitive integrity and prevent smurfing in Clash tournaments. You can't create a new account and immediately jump into tournament play with your friends or other players.

To participate in Clash, you need to have:

• Reached Level 30

• Completed placements in at least one Summoner's Rift ranked queue

• Verified your account with SMS through your phone number in the in-game settings

These requirements ensure players have sufficient game knowledge and experience before entering tournament play. Clash matches operate at a higher competitive level than normal games. The phone verification system particularly helps prevent players from creating multiple accounts to manipulate tournament brackets or play below their actual skill level.

Bracket Format

Clash tournaments use two distinct bracket formats for both ARAM and Summoner's Rift modes. The format you encounter depends on the number of teams registered for your specific tournament tier and time slot.

The tournament operates with either:

• 8-team Bracket

• 16-team Bracket

Each victory earns your team rewards distributed through Clash Orbs. The reward value increases based on your final tournament placement, with teams reaching later rounds receiving more valuable orbs. Even teams eliminated early receive participation rewards, ensuring all players gain something from their tournament experience.
