League of Legends Worlds 2022 group draw will happen on Sunday, September 11, 2022.
The exact time is unknown as it depends on the length of the LCS Championship finals and whether the teams go the distance in a best-of-five series. Soon after the champion is crowned, the Worlds 2022 draw will begin.
When it comes around, there will be two phases of the draw - the Play-In stage and the group stage.
There will be two groups of six in the Play-In stage. Each group's participants are distributed over three pools, depending on their region's past performances and the team's seed number for the region.
A single group can hold no more than two teams from pool one, two from pool two and two from pool three. Additionally, two teams from the same region can't be in the same group.
