CS2 Majors typically occur twice per year — one in the spring (March–May) and one in the fall (October–November). Valve announces Major dates and locations several months in advance. Check the CS2 section of the esports calendar for confirmed dates.
League of Legends Worlds typically takes place in September–November. The Play-In stage starts in late September, with the Grand Finals in early November. The host region rotates annually — check the LoL section for the confirmed 2026 location.
The International typically takes place between August and October. Valve has varied the timing in recent years, but the event consistently runs for 10–14 days including group stage and main event. Regional qualifiers precede TI by 2–3 months.
The Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) includes regional leagues running January through August, two international Masters events (typically May and July), and the VCT Champions tournament in August–September. Each region also has Challengers and Ascension leagues.
