Riot Games officially announced on Thursday that the 2025 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) will be held at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada from June 27 to July 12.

The event marks the return of Riot Games and League of Legends esports to Vancouver, with the venue hosting the 2017 League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) Spring Finals.

Located in Hastings Park, Pacific Coliseum Vancouver offers 90,000 square feet of exhibition space and can accommodate 15,000 to 16,000 spectators, depending on the venue configuration.

Tickets for MSI 2025 will be sold in two rounds:

• Round 1: March 27 at 10:00 PDT

• Round 2: May 29 at 10:00 PDT

In addition, Riot Games has launched a priority ticket purchase service with long-term partner Mastercard, allowing users holding Mastercard cards to purchase tickets one day in advance:

• First round of priority ticket purchase: March 26 at 10:00 PDT

• Second round of priority ticket purchase: May 28 at 10:00 PDT

As the second international event of the year, MSI 2025 will bring together 10 teams from five major regions to compete for the MSI championship title. In addition, the two best performing regions will receive an additional spot in the global finals (Worlds 2025).

Riot Games said: "MSI is not only a mid-term event to test the strength of each team and region, but also lays the foundation for competing for the world championship."
