[Edaily Reporter Lee So-Hyun ] Naver’s (NAVER(035420)) streaming platform, Chizichik, will broadcast the “2026 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds 2026)” live. In addition to the official Korean-language broadcast, it will provide AI-generated Korean subtitles for the English-language broadcast and will also feature “Watch Together” content with seven popular streamers.

Naver announced on the 16th that Chijijik will live-stream Worlds 2026, which will take place in the U.S. from the 16th through November 15.

Four Korean teams—Gen.G, HANWHA LIFE INSURANCE Esports, T1, and Dplus KIA CORPORATION (DK)—will compete in this year’s Worlds.

Chijijik users can watch the Korean-language broadcast on the “LCK” official channel and the English-language broadcast on the “LCK Global” channel. AI-generated Korean subtitles will be provided for the English broadcast.

Chizchiz will also host “Watch Together,” its interactive viewing feature. Seven streamers—Wolf, KangKwi, Cube, Bang, V-Cha, O Danming, and Untara—will participate, interacting with users in real time while watching the matches together.

Viewers can enjoy the matches not only through the official broadcast but also by selecting commentary and reactions from specific streamers.

Last year, through its broadcast of Worlds 2025, Chizich recorded a cumulative viewership of 18.15 million and 39.63 million cumulative views. The peak concurrent viewership during the tournament reached approximately 560,000.

Naver plans to expand its reach among esports users this year as well, building on participatory content such as the Worlds broadcast and “Watch Together” features.

Joo Geon-beom, Head of Naver Entertainment, stated, “Chijichik not only provides stable broadcasts of global esports tournaments but also offers a viewing experience where users can enjoy and participate in the matches together,” adding, “We will vividly convey the excitement of this esports festival through diverse content during this year’s Worlds as well.”
