Disney+ is strengthening its push into live esports by securing exclusive global streaming rights for the 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP, giving League of Legends fans around the world a front-row seat to one of South Korea’s premier competitive gaming tournaments.

Following the success of its inaugural livestream partnership in 2025, Disney+ confirmed that every match of the 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP will be available exclusively on the platform, marking another major step in the streaming service’s growing investment in esports content. The tournament will feature the top teams from the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) as they battle for a share of a KRW 52 million prize pool.

The exclusive broadcast expands access to Korean League of Legends esports for international audiences, allowing fans worldwide to follow every stage of the competition live.

Disney+ to Livestream Every 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP Match Worldwide

The 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP begins on July 20 and concludes with the Grand Final on Aug. 18 at the Daejeon e-Sports Arena in Daejeon, South Korea.

Ten LCK organizations will compete throughout the tournament, with matches livestreamed every Monday and Tuesday from the qualifying rounds through the championship match. As Korea’s only short-format League of Legends tournament, the LoL KeSPA CUP serves as an important showcase for both established stars and emerging talent ahead of the next phase of the competitive season.

Beyond the live broadcasts, Disney+ Korea will provide additional tournament coverage through its official social media channels, including greeting videos from participating teams, pre-event features, and exclusive on-site content designed to give fans greater behind-the-scenes access.

The announcement builds on the expanded collaboration between Disney+ and the Korea eSports Association (KeSPA), first revealed in April, which aims to bring more major esports competitions to viewers around the world through the streaming platform.

Disney+ Expands Its Esports Library Beyond League of Legends

The 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP is the latest addition to Disney+’s growing esports catalog.

Subscribers can already watch full replays of the 2025 LoL KeSPA CUP, where 10 LCK teams competed alongside All-Star squads from Vietnam and Japan, as well as two teams representing the North American League Championship Series.

Disney+ also offers on-demand coverage of the Esports Championships Asia Jinju 2026, featuring competitors from South Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Mongolia across multiple titles, including “Street Fighter 6,” “The King of Fighters XV,” “TEKKEN 8,” and the “eFootball” series for PC and mobile.

By continuing to add high-profile competitive gaming events, Disney+ is positioning itself as more than a traditional entertainment streaming service, expanding into the rapidly growing global esports market while giving League of Legends fans easier access to top-tier Korean competition.

The 2026 LoL KeSPA CUP will stream exclusively on Disney+ from July 20 through Aug. 18, with every match available live to audiences around the world.
