Riot Games says students, researchers and community developers will be able to use official League of Legends esports data through its GRID partnership starting November 14. Worlds 2026 will be the first LoL event available through the portal.
Riot announced the rollout on November 12. Developers can register for an API key and use the Central Data Feed, Series State API and Loopfeed to build tools such as match trackers or research dashboards. Live series data runs five minutes behind, so the feed won’t track the Gen.G–BLG final at broadcast speed.
GRID says Open Access is free for learning and experimentation, with separate access for commercial products. Its landing page lists November 12 as the launch date, while Riot’s LoL Esports announcement specifically says sign-ups start November 14.
