What is the 2023 LCS Start Date?

For many in the LCS community, 2023 brings with it more than a new season, it brings about a fresh start for their teams as they attempt to forget about Worlds 2022. Most of the teams LCS teams have made changes, except for CLG. FlyQuest in particular have gone in a very different direction than in years past. That said, fans are likely wondering, what is the 2023 LCS Start Date so they can see these teams in action?

The LCS did not change its format for 2023 but they did change the times and dates for games. This year games, at least for the Spring Split, will be on Thursdays and Fridays. This is very different from the Saturdays and Sundays that LCS fans are used to. Along with this, they were going to start at noon PST but that was recently moved back to 2pm PST and 5pm EST. It will be interested to see how fans will adjust to these new times.

Sadly there will be no Lock-In tournament this year. Instead, they had the 2023 Kickoff which had two teams, one of the Boomers and the other, the Zoomers. Zoomers were able to pull it out 2-1. The teams will also still be playing only 18 games a split or two a week. Many fans were hoping to be getting three games a week or potentially even Best of Thress back. The LEC have a new system that does have more Best of Three and Five series than in years past. For the LCS, there will be a few Super Weeks which means games Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This cuts out one week meaning that there will be eight weeks for each Split.

The official 2023 LCS Start Date will be on January 26, 2023.
