What LoL Park Is and Where to Find It

LoL Park is the permanent home of League of Legends Champions Korea, the LCK, and the room where most of the league's matches are played. Riot Games opened it in September 2018, just in time for that year's World Championship, and it has hosted international events since, from the 2023 Worlds play-in stage to the inaugural First Stand tournament in March 2025. Since December 2025 its official name has been CHZZK LoL Park, after Naver took the naming rights and named the venue for its streaming platform, CHZZK. Most fans still just call it LoL Park.

The venue fills the third floor of Gran Seoul Tower 1 at 33 Jong-ro, in the middle of Jongno. Its heart is the LCK Arena, a round stage with seats wrapped all the way around it. It holds about 450 people, which makes it one of the smallest top-flight sports arenas you will ever sit in. The front row is only a few meters from the player booths. Around the arena you will find the Riot Store, a PC bang, food counters and displays of team jerseys and champion statues.

Getting there is easy. Take Line 1 to Jonggak Station and use exit 1; the LoL Park sign is visible as you come up the stairs. Jongno 3-ga Station, on Lines 1, 3 and 5, is a ten-minute walk east along Jong-ro. A T-money card covers both, and our guide to Seoul's subway and buses explains how to top it up. The public areas open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on match days they stay open until the last game ends. The venue closes on January 1.

How to Get LCK Tickets as a Visitor

LCK tickets for LoL Park are sold on NOL Ticket, the platform Korean fans knew for years as Interpark. Foreign visitors can book on NOL World, its English-language site. Sign up and log in before sale day so you are not filling in forms while seats disappear.

Sales open a short time before each match, and the window can change between splits. In 2026, tickets for the spring rounds went on sale 48 hours before each match, while the summer rounds opened nine days ahead. Check the notice on NOL for the split you are visiting. Some teams also run their own presales, and the two-ticket limit per person counts all channels together. If you hold three or more tickets under one name, the extra tickets are cancelled without a refund. Bring the passport you booked with in case staff check names at the gate.

Regular-season seats are inexpensive. The venue's tourism listing puts match-day tickets at about 20,000 won on weekdays and 25,000 won on weekends. The catch is demand. With only about 450 seats, matches featuring T1 or Gen.G often sell out within seconds of going on sale. Midweek games between less famous teams are your best chance.

The biggest nights move out of Jongno. In 2026, the LCK Cup finals went to Kai Tak Arena in Hong Kong, and the season's lower-bracket final and grand final on September 12 and 13 filled the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park. Grand final seats there were listed at 100,000 to 140,000 won. Gen.G beat Hanwha Life Esports 3–1 to take the title.

Match Day in the LCK Arena

Most LCK days have two matches, the first at 5 p.m. and the second at 7 p.m. Korea time. Each match is at least a best-of-three, so a full day runs well into the evening. Arrive about an hour early. The concourse fills up well before the doors open. You can line up for the Riot Store, pick up chicken and a beer from the BBQ counter, and look at the large player photos and champion statues along the walls.

Many fans make placards for their favorite players, and there is a corner where you can sit down and write one by hand. Inside, the seats circle the stage, so every section has a view of the booths and the big screens. Cheers start with the team chants and get louder at every teamfight. You do not need to speak Korean. Everyone understands a Baron steal.

After the last game, stay a while. The winning team often comes out near the gates to greet fans, and people bring letters and small gifts. If you could not get a ticket, you can still share the match day. The concourse and the store stay open, and fans without tickets often follow the games from outside the arena.

The Store, the PC Bang and Off-Season Visits

You do not need a match ticket to visit LoL Park. The Riot Store sells team jerseys, champion figures, plushies and LCK goods, and the stock changes with the season, so it is worth a look even if you have shopped Riot merch online. The PC bang next door has around a hundred gaming PCs, so you can play a few games on the same floor as the LCK stage. If you are new to Korea's gaming cafes, our guide to PC bang culture explains how to log on, pay and order food at your seat.

Right now it is the off-season. The 2026 LCK season ended at the KSPO Dome on September 13, and the league's qualified teams, Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, T1 and Dplus KIA, head to the World Championship in the United States, which opens on October 15. There will be no LCK matches in Jongno until the next season starts. The LCK Cup opened on January 14 this year, so expect the arena to return around mid-January, and watch the LCK's official channels for the exact dates. Until then, the store, the PC bang and the food counters keep regular hours, and the arena hosts other esports events from time to time.

The neighborhood is good for half a day. Bosingak, the old bell pavilion at the Jonggak crossroads, is two minutes away on foot. Insadong and the hanok lanes of Ikseon-dong are a short walk north, and Cheonggyecheon stream runs one block south. If you want to see more of Seoul's young side after a match, Hongdae has late-night PC bangs, arcades and street performers, and it is about 25 minutes away by subway.
