The 2025 LCK Challengers League (LCK CL), the official secondary circuit for League of Legends, is set to resume its campaign on Monday, the 21st, starting with the third round of the regular season.

The LCK CL wrapped up its second round of regular season play on Friday, May 30th. Following the results from the first two rounds, the ten participating teams have been reshuffled into 'Challenge' and 'Trial' groups, which will define the structure for the remainder of the season.

The 'Challenge Group' features top-ranked ▲KT Rolster, alongside ▲DRX, ▲BNK FearX Youth, ▲T1 Esports Academy, and ▲Gen.G Global Academy. Meanwhile, the 'Trial Group' consists of ▲DN Freaks, ▲OK Savings Bank BRION, ▲Hanwha Life Esports, ▲Nongshim RedForce, and ▲Dplus KIA.

Starting July 21st, the regular season will proceed through rounds 3 to 5 using a triple round-robin format within each group. Final standings will determine who advances to the play-ins and playoffs. The top two teams from the Challenge Group secure a direct spot in the second round of the playoffs, while 3rd and 4th place finishers move to the first round. The 5th place team from the Challenge Group and the top three from the Trial Group must battle through the play-ins to keep their playoff dreams alive.
