The inaugural season will feature:

• 5 teams
• 10 regular season matches
• 4 teams advancing to the playoffs
• 2 Semifinal matches
• A best-of-three Finals to determine the first WTGL champion

Playoff Dates

The first WTGL season culminates with four consecutive days of high-stakes action at SoFi Center, with the Semifinals set for Dec. 20 and Dec. 21. The Finals then begin on Dec. 22 with Match 1 and conclude with Match 2 on Dec. 23 and, if necessary, Match 3 immediately following as the decider.

Semifinals

• Semifinal 1: Dec. 20, ESPN2
• Semifinal 2: Dec. 21, 8 p.m., ION

The winners of each Semifinal will move on to the Finals.

WTGL Finals

• Finals Match 2: Dec. 23, 7 p.m., ESPN2
