NLC Spring 2025 finals to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark

The Northern League of Legends Championship NLC has announced that its NLC Spring 2025 semi-finals and finals will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark..

Prior to the news, NLC tournament operator Leagues Media also revealed that it has secured a significant partnership with Samsung for the competition.

The announcement, made on X, shared that the semi-finals will take place on 31st May, 2025, followed by the grand finals on June 1, 2025.

Specifically, NLC Spring 2025 will be held at K.B. Hallen, located within Copenhagen’s Frederiksberg district. The venue holds a capacity of 4,500 attendees.

Following the emergence of popular teams such as Los Ratones, Ruddy Sack and NORD Esport, the NLC has grown to become a prominent league in the scene. The competition is part of League of Legends’ tier-two scene and is for teams based in the Nordics, UK and Ireland.

The 2025 Spring Split will begin on April 2nd, 2025, with 10 teams competing for two available EMEA Masters Spring spots.

The tournament will begin with a single round robin in best-of-one matches. The top four teams will move to the upper bracket, and the bottom teams will qualify for the lower brackets. The playoffs will then see double eliminations with the Fearless Draft. The upper bracket quarterfinals and semi-finals will be best-of-three, with the finals being best-of-five.

“It speaks volumes that a brand like Samsung sees the value in what the NLC represents,” said Max Grimborg, Chief Commercial Officer at Leagues Media. “It’s a strong signal that this space matters, and that the NLC has become a platform worth investing in.”

According to Esports Charts, NLC Winter 2025 smashed viewership records with over 360,000 peak viewers during the finals between NORD and Los Ratones. The tournament saw an average viewership of over 47,000 across its 87-hour airtime.

NLC has seen unprecedented growth, with the Winter split ranking amongst the top five League of Legends tournaments in 2025 for peak viewership following Los Ratones win. After Los Ratones won the EMEA Masters title, some anticipate whether history will repeat itself.
