How to Watch League of Legends Worlds from Korea — in Your Local Time
When Worlds is hosted in Korea, games run on KST. Here's how to convert match times to your timezone and where to stream — without missing a series.
Worlds is on Korea time — here's how to follow it
When League of Legends Worlds is hosted in Korea, the schedule runs on KST (UTC+9). Games generally play out across the Korean afternoon and evening, so your local start time depends entirely on your zone. The exact daily schedule changes every year, so always confirm the official Riot/LCK schedule — but the way you convert it never changes, and that's what this page is for.
Convert a match start to your time
Take the day's KST start time and drop it into the home-page converter. As a rule of thumb, a mid-afternoon KST start is very early morning in the Americas and morning-to-midday in Europe. For the full picture by region, use the US time-zone hub or the Europe hub, and see how many hours ahead Korea is of your city.
Where to watch
Worlds streams on the official League of Legends Esports channels — usually YouTube and Twitch — alongside LCK and regional broadcasts. If the live time is rough where you are, full VODs and highlights go up on the same channels shortly after, so you can follow the bracket on your own schedule.
Plan around the whole event
Worlds typically runs in October and November across group and knockout stages, so set the times you care about — your team's games, the semifinals, the final — in your own local time now, and add them to your calendar. The same conversion approach works for other Korea-hosted esports moments like MSI.
