NACL (LEAGUE OF LEGENDS)

The cradle of future League of Legends talent in North America, the North American Challengers League (NACL) is the region’s official development league. It serves as the stepping stone toward the LCS, North America’s top-tier competition.

After structural changes in 2023, the NACL was reimagined with a new format, greater independence, and a clear vision: to become the epicenter of emerging talent. While several LCS organizations stepped back, Riot Games reaffirmed its commitment to the league. Together with Liga ACE, they are building an ecosystem that is more open, competitive, and sustainable.
