The numbers are impossible to ignore. League of Legends Championship Series Spring 2026 – Riot Games’ ‘gift’ to us after their LTA experiment hit the skids – recorded a peak of just 183,152 concurrent viewers, making it the lowest figure in the league's history, according to Esports Charts data cited by Esports Insider.
For the second consecutive split, the North American region failed to crack 200,000 peak viewers. Average viewership milled around 64,000 for the split — a huge 29% drop-off from the Lock-In event held just a few months earlier.
