ONE Esports has been named the official international media partner for the League of Legends Pro League (LPL), the premier professional League of Legends circuit in China. This agreement marks the third consecutive year of the partnership between the media organization and TJ Sports, the joint venture between Tencent Holdings and Riot Games responsible for managing professional League of Legends and Valorant competitions in the region.
Under the terms of the 2023 agreement, ONE Esports will serve as a primary international distribution channel for the league. The organization is tasked with disseminating official media announcements and providing editorial coverage of select stories from the 2023 LPL season through its dedicated web portal. While the partnership reinforces the ongoing collaboration between the two entities, the specific financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The scope of this partnership focuses on expanding the global reach of the Chinese professional league by leveraging ONE Esports’ platform to engage international audiences. By continuing this multi-year relationship, the LPL aims to maintain consistent media visibility for its competitive events and narratives outside of its domestic market.
