The latter stages of the LCK 2026 regular season, specifically rounds 3 and 4, are set to kick off on the 29th, accompanied by a series of team roadshows.

During this period, the opening weekend of each round will feature team roadshows hosted by Gen.G and T1. The 'Gen.G Homestand: House of Gen.G' is scheduled for July 31 and August 1, marking the first week of round 3 at Hall 5 of KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Goyang, Gyeonggi. There, Gen.G will face off against rivals T1 and Dplus KIA in succession.

Following this, the 'T1 Home Ground' event will take place at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, Seoul, during the first week of round 4 on August 14 and 16. T1 will host Dplus KIA and Gen.G on their home turf. Consequently, these three teams face a crucial schedule where they must square off against one another during the opening week of each round. Much like last year, rounds 3 and 4 will be divided into the Legend Group and the Rise Group.

Based on their performance in the previous rounds of the regular season, the top five teams have been assigned to the Legend Group, while the bottom five occupy the Rise Group. The Legend Group includes Hanwha Life Esports, T1, Gen.G, KT Rolster, and Dplus KIA. Meanwhile, the Rise Group features HLE Brion, BNK FearX, Kiwoom DRX, Nongshim RedForce, and DN Supers competing for position.

This season has seen a shortened schedule to accommodate the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan. To ensure players representing their nations have sufficient preparation time, the traditional fifth round has been scrapped, concluding the regular season after four rounds. The play-in and playoff schedule has also been trimmed by a week compared to last year, now spanning approximately three weeks. Every match will be broadcast live via Chzzk and SOOP.
