SEOUL, Dec 4 — Global streamer Disney+ said on Thursday it will exclusively broadcast a Korean League of Legends (LoL) competition to 11 Asia-Pacific regions, including South Korea, Japan and Australia, Yonhap News Agency reported.
The KeSPA Cup 2025, which kicks off Saturday and runs through December 14, will be livestreamed in both Korean and English, with video-on-demand (VOD) services also available, according to Disney+.
The event is an annual LoL tournament organised by the Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA), featuring 10 Korean teams and four overseas teams from Vietnam, Japan and North America.
