All teams qualified for LoL Worlds 2024

LoL Worlds 2024 is coming up fast, and teams are already beginning to qualify for the biggest League of Legends international of the year.

The League of Legends (LoL) World Championship kicks off on September 25, 2024, and it’s the tournament that marks the end of 2024’s LoL competitive calendar.

However, the way that every team qualifies for Worlds 2024 is different, and getting one of 20 slots at the event isn’t easy. There’s a chance T1 doesn’t even make it this year.

Additionally, every region has a different number of slots and methods of qualifying in at different stages. Here’s every team that has qualified so far, how they got there, and what other teams have to do to make the cut.

Every team qualified for LoL Worlds 2024

So far, 18 teams have locked their spots for Worlds 2024.
