Jointly hosted by TJ Sports and Huya Inc., the event will take place from October 3 to October 17. Upgraded into a global invitational, the brand-new Demacia Cup will welcome teams from more international regions, offering LPL teams greater opportunities to hone their skills against global powerhouses and deliver even more exciting matchups for Summoners. Following this upgrade, the Demacia Cup expands its competitive footprint from the LPL to six major global regions: LPL, LCK, LEC, LCP, LCS, and CBLOL. A total of 12 teams will be invited to participate, including 3 teams each from the LPL (5th–7th place in Championship Points) and LCK (5th–7th place), 2 teams each from the LEC and LCS (4th–5th place), and 1 team each from the LCP (4th place in Championship Points) and CBLOL (4th place). Regional slot allocations are determined by results at MSI 2026. The 1st and 2nd place regions receive 3 slots each, the 3rd and 4th place regions receive 2 slots each, and all remaining regions receive 1 slot each. For each region, invited teams will be selected from those that have not qualified for the 2026 World Championship, with invitations going to the highest-ranked eligible teams based on the respective region's season standings or Championship Points system. For the LPL and LCP, participating teams will be determined based on their 2026 Championship Points standings. Due to scheduling considerations in the CBLOL, its invitation will instead go to the 4th-place team in the region. If an invited team declines participation, the invite will defer to the next eligible team according to the qualification rules. Regarding the schedule, this year's Demacia Cup will officially kick off on October 3, utilizing a hybrid online and offline format.
