It's that time of year again: The annual musical chairs for all major regional League of Legends leagues are already well underway after the excitement of the LoL World Championship. As we approach the holiday season, that can only mean one thing: the chaos has officially begun, with player transfers already in full swing.
With the LCS/CBLOL merger into the all-new league, LTA, and the creation of the LCP, many great players of respected tenure and skills are being left teamless with free agency. It's basically open season on who gets to poach them.
If you're confused about next year's roster changes and want to know where your favorite players are headed, don't worry! This article will shed some light on the situation, featuring all the current roster changes for the main 2025 LoL regional leagues: LCK, LPL, LTA, LEC, and LCP. We'll update this article every few days with new information, so watch this space!
Please note that any players in bold with an asterisk indicate a tentative transfer or rumored roster change that hasn't yet been officially confirmed. If a space in a table is left blank, there are no rumors surrounding that position/roster change. We have not included the "Head Coach," "Assistant Coach," "Positional Coach," or any other team staffing or contract changes.
The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) has continued to establish itself as the dominant region in the League of Legends professional ecosystem, with their top four teams all making it into the Swiss Stage at LoL Worlds 2024. After a rocky 2024 season, T1 rose like a phoenix from the ashes in an exciting 3:2 clutch against LPL team Bilibili Gaming.
At the time of writing, there are a few empty and unconfirmed spots at teams like Kwangdong Freecs and DRX. In a shock move, reigning world champion top-laner Zeus drops T1 in favor of Hanwha Life Esports.
Watch this space, as the off-season is only just beginning, and there's plenty of time between now and when the next season begins.

After yet another year of missing out on qualifying for the final LoL Worlds Knockout Stages, the League of Legends European Championship, or LEC, is looking to be in a slump, with many teams and their players on the same trajectory as last year with next to no progression.
However, a new year always means a fresh start, as many teams are already locking in. There are already changes across the board in the LEC camp, with significant format changes coming in 2025. Rogue has left themselves open with no confirmed roster yet, while MAD Lions KOI are rebranding to just "KOI."

The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) will be introduced in 2025 as one of five major regional leagues in the LoL esports ecosystem.
