2026 First Stand is shaping up to be the most intriguing League of Legends tournament of this year, prompting the question of how fans can watch it.

Riot Games is usually fairly lax about streaming its events, but that doesn’t mean just anyone can stream them live. With this year’s First Stand being the first opportunity fans have to watch how their favorite teams stack up on the big stage, many will want to tune in live.

Knowing in advance how and where to watch 2026 First Stand can help save fans time. Fortunately, since Riot has a streaming presence on most major streaming platforms, there shouldn’t be a need to create a new account for this tournament.

Where to watch the 2026 First Stand tournament

Those wanting to watch the 2026 First Stand tournament live can use the official LoL Esports website or channels.

In addition to having a website where all of the matches are broadcast live, Riot Games also has accounts on Twitch and YouTube. The company streams all of its matches on all three platforms, letting fans pick and choose what they’re most comfortable with.

Twitch lets players chat with each other, while YouTube’s ability to reward during live broadcasts stands out. The official website occasionally gives out drops, such as esports capsules and cosmetic items, to viewers who are logged into their Riot accounts.

Can you co-stream 2026 First Stand?

Riot only permits a handful of streamers to co-stream large events such as First Stand, so not everyone has access to it.

Co-streaming rights are usually limited to invited or approved creators. This is also the case for the 2026 First Stand. Those without Riot’s approval can react to games without showing the broadcast, or just wait for the official match replays to come out and then react to those.

This isn’t to say that no one has co-streaming rights for the 2026 First Stand. Popular streamers such as Marc “Caedrel” Lamont and Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng will co-stream the event while giving their own commentary. It’s already confirmed that the event will be streamed by multiple streamers across eighteen languages.

This increase in co-streamers is to ensure that Riot can include more languages and localities in the League of Legends esports scene. With the game already being as huge as it is, it makes sense that the developer will want to attract more attention toward the esports scene.
