Shifters reportedly approaches organizations About renting its LEC slot for 2027

Shifters is exploring the possibility of renting out its LEC slot for the 2027 season, according to Sheep Esports.

The Swiss organization has reportedly contacted several Potential partners, including teams competing in the European Regional Leagues, to assess interest in taking over the position. Any arrangement would require approval from Riot Games.

No agreement confirmed

The report does not identify an organization in advanced negotiations, and Shifters could still enter the next season under its own Name .

However, its preparations appear considerably less advanced than those of several LEC rivals. Sheep Esports reported that Shifters had no players secured for 2027, including through verbal agreements, while its existing player contracts Run no later than November 16.

Uncertainty follows a difficult season

The organization entered the LEC as Team BDS in 2022 before adopting the Shifters Name for 2026.

Its first season under the New identity produced two tenth-place finishes and one ninth-place result across the three splits. A rental agreement would therefore represent another substantial organizational change following a year of disappointing Competitive results.

Neither Shifters nor Riot has announced a completed arrangement.
