The finals day will kick off with a pre-show to build excitement in the arena and set the stage for the major best-of-five showdown. The two finalist teams will have qualified through the Season Finals, with decisive matches taking place on August 14 and 19, 2025. Besides fame, glory, and a cheering crowd, the finals also come with cash prizes: €8,000 for the winning team and €5,000 for the runner-up, taken from a total Season Finals prize pool of €20,000. Both finalists will also qualify for the EMEA Masters, Europe’s top-tier tournament.
Big Stage, Strong Partners, Top-Tier Teams
The Techniker Prime League Finals are among the biggest esports highlights in the DACH region. Over the past three years, the finals have toured across Germany — starting in its home city Berlin in 2022, then heading north to Hamburg in 2023, and last year setting a record with over 2,000 attendees in picturesque Neu-Ulm. This year, it’s moving west to offer all fans a truly unique finals experience.
On-site, fans can expect not only top-tier League of Legends gameplay but also an extensive fan program featuring partner activations, the pre-show, and many other attractions centered around the Techniker Prime League. This is made possible through the support of numerous partners: Techniker Krankenkasse, DKB, Nongshim, KitKat, Bitburger 0.0, R+V, and HOLY. A detailed schedule of fan activities will be released in the coming weeks on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
