ME Challenger Cutoff

ME Challenger Cutoff Today

You need 852 LP for Challenger on ME at the next ladder update, as of 16:00 UTC on October 11, 2026. That is the LP of place 50 on the ME apex ladder, the last Challenger seat in Solo/Duo. The lowest Challenger player listed right now has 852 LP.

Seats estimated from the size of the lists: Riot publishes no number for this region.

5 players sit less than 50 LP below the cutoff, so a few wins or losses around it can move the number. We read the ladder again every 15 minutes.

How the Challenger Cutoff Works on ME

ME has 50 Challenger seats in Solo/Duo. Once a day Riot ranks every Master, Grandmaster and Challenger player of the region by LP, gives the Challenger seats to the highest and the Grandmaster seats to the next ones. A Challenger seat also needs at least 800 LP.

The Grandmaster cutoff on ME is 400 LP today; it has its own page. Every region is on the LoL cutoff overview.

When Does the ME Ladder Update?

Riot recalculates Grandmaster and Challenger on ME once every 24 hours. We last saw the update at 03:00 UTC and expect the next one at 03:00 UTC. Promotions and demotions only happen then.

Riot does not publish the time. We detect each update when the players holding the seats change between two of our readings, so the time is accurate to about 15 minutes.

Lowest Challenger Now vs Projected Cutoff

The lowest Challenger player now has 852 LP; the projected cutoff is 852 LP. Seats only change at the daily update, so during the day a Master player can climb above the lowest Challenger without getting a seat, and a Challenger player can drop below the cutoff and keep it until then.

To know whether you will be promoted, compare your LP with the projected cutoff. Ties and the exact moment of the update are not public, so a player at the same LP as the last seat can land on either side of it.
