The LEC Versus 2026 playoffs, featuring the top eight teams, will take place from February 16 to March 1, 2026, following a Double Elimination system. A key feature will be the Fearless Draft format, which prohibits repeating champions within a single series. The initial stages will be played as Best-of-3 (Bo3), while the deciding matches will be Best-of-5 (Bo5); the champion will qualify for the First Stand tournament.

The games kick off on February 16: Natus Vincere will face Fnatic at 16:45 CET, followed by Team Vitality vs Movistar KOI at 18:30 CET. The action continues the next day, February 17, at the same times with Team Heretics taking on G2 Esports, and Karmine Corp playing against GIANTX.
