LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) will now be available on IPTV and cable TV, bringing the premier esports league back to television screens. On February 4, OGN announced that it would broadcast all LCK matches, starting with the LCK Cup, across IPTV and cable TV platforms.
This move marks a significant expansion of LCK’s accessibility, allowing fans to enjoy matches via traditional TV channels in addition to existing online platforms. The decision also signals the return of OGN, a legendary esports broadcaster, to its roots in League of Legends content. OGN previously co-produced LoL Champions Korea alongside Riot Games and was a pioneering force in Korea’s esports broadcasting scene.
The partnership between OGN and LCK is set to last for two years, covering both the 2025 and 2026 seasons. For longtime fans who fondly remember the early days of OGN’s esports coverage, this agreement represents a nostalgic yet forward-looking step in expanding the reach of LCK.
LCK matches will air on OGN starting February 10, with scheduled broadcasts every weeknight at 11 PM (KST). The return of LCK to television is expected to broaden the league’s audience, catering to both seasoned esports enthusiasts and new viewers.
Nam Yoon Seung, CEO of OGN, expressed his excitement, stating, “It is an honor to bring the world’s most prestigious esports league, LCK, to our platform. We are committed to once again becoming a beloved esports channel for viewers.”
OGN’s LCK broadcasts will be available on SKB Btv (Channel 236), LG U+ (Channel 119), and all major cable TV networks, ensuring nationwide accessibility for esports fans.
With this move, OGN aims to reestablish itself as a leading esports broadcaster, rekindling its legacy while adapting to the evolving media landscape of competitive gaming.
