LCK 2027 rosters & Worlds 2026 contract expiry
Worlds 2026 runs 2026-10-15 to 2026-11-14. Most contracts in Riot's official database expire on 16 November, right after the final. For the LCK 2027 rosters, this page lists the 88 players whose contracts end across the ten LCK teams, and the 37 Korean players in other leagues whose contracts end.
An expiring contract is not a departure. Most players re-sign. This page reports only the expiry date from Riot's official sheet and does not speculate about who stays or leaves. Nationality is not in the sheet, so 254 players outside the LCK have none recorded and are absent below.
4 teams are confirmed.
