TFT Tactician’s Crown path

Ranked is how you earn snapshots. Official TFT competition is entered on CompeteTFT after you create a Compete Card. The published 2026 path is Tactician’s Trials (open), then Regional Finals, with a closed TFT Pro Circuit beside it, then Tactician’s Crown. Set 17 Space Gods Trials, Regional Finals, and Crown (July 10–12 2026) are finished. Use CompeteTFT for the next set’s live registration windows — do not enter expired Space Gods events.

TFT competitive route

TFT 2026 (post–Space Gods) · Last verified 14 Aug 2026

Ranked is how you earn snapshots. Official TFT competition is entered on CompeteTFT after you create a Compete Card. The published 2026 path is Tactician’s Trials (open), then Regional Finals, with a closed TFT Pro Circuit beside it, then Tactician’s Crown. Set 17 Space Gods Trials, Regional Finals, and Crown (July 10–12 2026) are finished. Use CompeteTFT for the next set’s live registration windows — do not enter expired Space Gods events.

Before you start

  • A Riot account and TFT on the shard you will compete on.
  • A Compete Card on competetft.com before registration windows close.
  • Ranked ladder position at snapshot time matters. Playing after the snapshot does not backfill it.

Other ways to compete

Not part of the official TFT Tactician’s Crown path ladder — parallel open / third-party competition.

  • Trials Snapshot

    A capture of the ranked leaderboard used to seed Tactician’s Trials. Different from Ladder Snapshots that award Regional Finals ranked points.

  • TFT Pro Circuit

    Closed regional top 32 from the previous set. Cup weekends (Stargazer, Dark Star, Anima in Space Gods) are TPC, not open Trials.
