CBLOL 2026 Split 2 Outdraws LCS 2026 Summer

The CBLOL 2026 Split 2 Grand Final between LOS and FURIA reached 289,992 concurrent viewers on Saturday, October 10, surpassing the peak viewership of LCS Summer 2026. The North American league had drawn 279,217 viewers during its own Grand Final just five days earlier.

The CBLOL finished ahead of the LCS by 10,775 viewers, or approximately 3.9%. The figures come from Esports Charts, a platform specializing in esports viewership statistics.

CBLOL and LCS Both Saw Viewership Growth in 2026

Both leagues saw substantial growth in their latest splits. CBLOL 2026 Split 1 peaked at 160,943 concurr

ent viewers, but that figure climbed to 289,992 in Split 2, an increase of approximately 80.2%.

In North America, the LCS went from 183,152 peak viewers in Spring to 279,217 in Summer, representing a 52.5% increase. The Summer Split also surpassed LCS Lock-In 2026, which had reached 184,969 concurrent viewers.

Here is how the two League of Legends leagues compared across their 2026 competitions, according to Esports Charts:

The LCS recovery is also worth highlighting. The Grand Final between Team Liquid and LYON, which Team Liquid won 3-1, was the most-watched match of the league's 2026 season. It marked the LCS's highest peak viewership since Summer 2022, when Cloud9 and 100 Thieves drew 370,178 concurrent viewers.

The increase was also reflected across different broadcast languages. Compared with Spring 2026, peak viewership for English-language streams rose by 44.1%, while Spanish-language broadcasts saw a 71.6% increase.

CBLOL Final Draws More Viewers, but 2026 Cup Still Leads

Although the LOS vs FURIA final surpassed LCS Summer 2026 and all three LTA South splits from 2025, it was not the most-watched Brazilian League of Legends event of the year.

The CBLOL Cup 2026, held earlier in the season, reached 443,217 concurrent viewers. The tournament, which saw LOUD defeat RED Canids in the final, remains ahead of both regular splits played later in the year.

CBLOL 2026 Split 2 also fell short of CBLOL 2024 Split 2, which recorded 331,713 peak viewers. However, it still outperformed all three LTA South splits held in 2025.

LOS vs FURIA Was the Most-Watched Match of CBLOL Split 2

The 289,992-viewer peak came during LOS's 3-2 victory over FURIA, with the series going the full five games. LOS claimed the Split 2 title and secured Brazil's No. 1 seed at Worlds 2026.

With the title, LOS will begin its Worlds 2026 campaign directly in the Swiss Stage on October 23. Runner-up FURIA, meanwhile, will enter the Play-In Stage on October 15 and already knows its opening opponent following the Worlds 2026 Play-In draw.
