The League of Legends Japan League (LJL) is the top level of professional League of Legends competition in Japan.[2][3][4] The league franchised prior to start of the 2019 season and has eight teams under partnership.[1] Each annual season of play is divided into two splits, spring and summer, both consisting of ten rounds of round-robin tournament play, which then conclude with playoff tournaments between the top three teams.

Before 2024, the spring and summer champions qualify for the Mid-Season Invitational and World Championship respectively.[5] However, since 2024, the top three teams from each LJL split will seed into the Pacific Championship Series (PCS) playoffs and compete with other PCS teams for a chance to represent the larger region at international events. LJL teams will be no longer qualifying directly to MSI and Worlds.
