This weekend, fourteen of North America's finest teams make their pilgrimage to Localhost Philadelphia for RGL's third Philly LAN: RGL LAN 2026. With an RGL Invite title on the line, an MGE World Championship up for grabs and plenty of other LAN TF2 fun along the way, the 2026 edition of RGL LAN is certainly not one to miss.

FORMAT

Invite Playoffs

The main event of RGL LAN 2026 will be the Invite Playoffs. The top four teams from the Invite Division of RGL Season 20 will do battle in the usual double elimination bracket all aiming for the ultimate prize of becoming RGL Invite Grand Champions. All matches in said bracket are best-of-three, except the grand final on Sunday evening, which is a best-of-five where the team coming from the upper bracket has a one-map advantage.

The playoff stage will consist of a single BO3 for each team (1st vs 2nd, 3rd vs 4th, etc.) to decide the final placements.
