Rumors: MSI 2027 could be held in Spain at Roig Arena
Mid-Season Invitational 2027 is rumored to take place in Valencia, Spain, with Roig Arena selected as the venue. Spanish esports outlet ChinaGAP reported the information on September 7, citing sources close to the publication. While Riot Games has previously confirmed that MSI 2027 will return to Europe, the specific country, city, and arena remain unconfirmed by the developer.
According to the report, Spain is expected to host the tournament, with Valencia chosen as the host city. Roig Arena is a multipurpose venue capable of hosting major sports, music, and entertainment events. The official venue website lists a capacity of 15,200 spectators in a basketball configuration and up to 20,000 for concerts, although the capacity for a potential esports setup has not been announced. Riot Games has not confirmed negotiations with the venue or disclosed ticketing details for the event.
The developer announced its long-term international event roadmap in January 2025, confirming that First Stand 2027 will take place in Southeast Asia, MSI 2027 will return to Europe, and Worlds 2027 will be held in Korea. No further location details for MSI were provided at that time. Until Riot Games publishes an official announcement, Spain, Valencia, and Roig Arena should be treated as reported plans rather than confirmed host locations.
