The League of Legends World Championship 2024 has set new records in viewership, with the Swiss Stage experiencing a 36% increase compared to the previous year. As reported by Esports Charts, this surge in viewership is the result of the increasing international popularity of LoL Esports, leading to one of the most watched series in the history of esports. In this series, T1 and G2 Esports faced off in a West vs East clash, exceeding 3 million concurrent viewers.
Swiss Stage Viewership Growth
During the Swiss Stage, the average viewership was more than 1.5 million, marking a significant improvement in online viewership. Metrics from various platforms and languages all point to this upward trend, reflecting the diversification and expansion of the tournament’s audience.

The following are the main highlights from this year’s Swiss Stage:
- YouTube had a higher number of concurrent viewers than Twitch.
- For the first time, Vietnamese viewership surpassed both Korean and English broadcasts, with the event attracting 803,300 concurrent viewers at its peak. Although this figure is slightly down from the previous year, it still stands as a record for the tournament.
