The League of Legends Championship of The Americas, also known as the League of The Americas (LTA), was the top level of professional League of Legends in the Americas, which included the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The esports league was run by Riot Games and had sixteen teams split into two conferences, North and South. Its only season was divided into three splits, with playoff competition between the top teams. At the end of each split, the best teams qualified for the three international tournaments – the winner of the first split qualified for the First Stand Tournament, the winners of each conference in the second split qualified for the Mid Season Invitational, and the top three teams in the third split playoffs (known as the LTA Championship) qualified for the annual League of Legends World Championship.
The league was initially announced in June 2024 as a merger between the then three regional leagues in the Americas – The League Championship Series (LCS), Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL) and Liga Latinoamérica (LLA). The LCS would form the basis for the North Conference (LTA North), while CBLOL formed the basis for the South Conference (LTA South). These two leagues would have six partnered teams each join the LTA for its inaugural season, with the LLA providing two additional teams, one each for the North and South Conference. In addition, one extra team from the LLA (in the South Conference) and one team from North America's second-tier league, the North American Challengers League (in the North Conference), would be "guest teams" that had to requalify for the LTA at the end of the season in promotion and relegation playoffs with the best teams from the regional second-tier leagues.
The league would only last one season, with the LCS and CBLOL returning in 2026 as separate leagues. FlyQuest won the only LTA Championship.
With the exception of some touring events, all LTA games were played live in two venues, both known as the Riot Games Arena – one in Los Angeles, California, United States, for the North Conference and one in São Paulo, Brazil for the South Conference. In addition to a small studio audience, all games were streamed live on Twitch and YouTube.
