Riot and GRID open official Worlds data to community developers

Riot Games will launch Riot Games Open Access, powered by GRID, on November 14, allowing students, researchers, hobbyists and early-stage developers to build projects using official esports data.

Worlds 2026 becomes the first available LoL event

The program will initially provide access to Worlds 2026 data. Its tools include the Central Data Feed and Series State API, including Loopfeed, with support for both League of Legends and VALORANT esports matches.

Users will need to create an account and generate an API key before accessing the documentation and available feeds. Live series data will carry a five-minute delay.

More options for independent projects

The release gives community developers an official route to create statistics tools, research projects and features that help fans follow professional matches.

GRID has served as Riot’s official esports data partner since 2023. The Open Access launch extends access to a wider development community, with the Worlds final providing the first major League of Legends opportunity to use the service.
