CBLOL Split 1 viewership dips as LOUD exit and PaiN miss playoffs

FURIA won CBLOL 2026 Split 1 in Brazil, defeating Los Grandes 3–1 in the Grand Final to claim the domestic League of Legends title. The result secured Brazil’s spot at MSI 2026 and a place at the Esports World Cup 2026.

The split reached a peak of 160,943 concurrent viewers during the final, averaged 93,428 viewers, and recorded 9.88 million hours watched across more than 106 hours of airtime.

These figures trailed the year’s earlier domestic event. Copa CBLOL 2026 peaked at 443,217 concurrent viewers during the LOUD vs. RED Canids final and averaged more than 131,000 viewers.

Two of the league’s largest fan bases were out before the title match. PaiN Gaming did not reach the playoffs. LOUD, the Copa CBLOL 2026 champion, exited earlier after defeats to FURIA and Los Grandes.

FURIA advanced through the upper bracket with 3–0 wins over LOUD and RED Canids, then defeated Los Grandes 3–1 in the final.

Los Grandes reached the final from the lower bracket. After an upper-bracket loss to RED Canids, the team beat Vivo Keyd Stars, LOUD, Fluxo W7M and RED Canids to reach the decider.

In historical context, Split 1’s audience levels were below recent seasons and closer to results recorded around 2017–2018.

With the title, FURIA qualified for MSI 2026 and the Esports World Cup 2026.
