The Apex Legends ALGS Split 2 Playoffs will be taking place in July, the second Apex LAN in 2023 at London’s Copper Box Arena. Here’s the key info.

ALGS Split 2 Playoffs dates and general info

The Apex Legends Global Series ALGS Split 2 Playoffs will be returning to the Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E20 3HB on July 13th to 16th 2023.

This time around, EA is bringing all competition to the Main Stage, meaning fans will be able to watch their favourite team’s matches throughout the four-day tournament.

There will also be activities there including meet and greets, giveaways and more. 

The news comes after TSM were crowned ALGS Split 1 winners at the first Apex Legends London LAN of 2023 earlier this year, and a few days after UK Apex Legends talent featured in the top three teams at the ALGS EMEA Regional Finals last weekend.
