Riot Games has announced the return of its premier Teamfight Tactics celebration, now reimagined as Convergence Fest—a monumental event that merges the TFT Open with the Riftbound North American Regional Championship. Set for December 11-13 in Las Vegas, this three-day extravaganza promises to be the largest gathering for strategy game fans yet, building on the success of past TFT Opens in Macao and Paris. What started as a simple in-person meetup has evolved into a global phenomenon, fueled by the passion of players, cosplayers, creators, and fans. This year, the community's growth has paved the way for a combined experience that highlights both TFT and Riftbound, offering something for everyone.

The Evolution of a Community Celebration

Over the past three years, the TFT Open has grown from a small gathering into a global celebration, uniting players from around the world to compete and connect. Alongside this journey, Riftbound—a trading card game that debuted at the TFT Macao Open two years ago—has blossomed into its own thriving community. Fans lined up for hours to try the first trial decks, and the game has since expanded through multiple sets, joining the festivities at the TFT Paris Open last year. Now, with both communities surging in excitement, Riot has decided to combine forces under Convergence Fest, a shared experience that honors both strategy titles.

What to Expect at Convergence Fest

Convergence Fest will be a jam-packed weekend of activities, from high-stakes tournaments to casual fun. Attendees can bounce between competitive matches, rip Riftbound packs, catch live panels, meet the community, and explore Artist Alley. Over the years, Riot has added more ways to celebrate, and this year’s event will be the biggest party yet. Whether you’re queuing for casual games with friends or testing your skills in side events, there’s something for every strategy game enthusiast.

  • Two Tournaments: TFT Vegas Open and Riftbound NA Regional Championship

  • Artist Alley for unique fan art and creations

  • Card Trading opportunities for collectors

  • Side Events and Prize Wall for competitive fun

  • Game Shows and Dev Panels with Riot developers

  • Showmatches featuring top players

  • Cosplay and Meet-and-Greets with community figures

The Competitions: Two Champions Rise

During this electric weekend, two different champions will emerge victorious in the main competitive events. The TFT Vegas Open and the Riftbound NA Regional Championship will run simultaneously, allowing fans to follow both tournaments and cheer alongside the community. Additional details on tournament formats, participation opportunities, and event schedules will be announced soon, so stay tuned for updates.

Securing Your Spot: Passes and Registration

Attendee passes for Convergence Fest will be available through a new Fan First registration process, designed to give players the best chance to secure their spot. By signing up at convergencefest.riotgames.com, fans can enter the earliest wave of sale windows, ahead of the general sale. Pass sales will begin in August through rolling windows, and verified registrants will receive a confirmation email. Past events have seen high demand, and with Riftbound joining, interest is expected to be even greater.

All 3-Day Attendee Passes include a commemorative Convergence Fest Riftbound card and all official and co-streamer in-game drops. For an upgraded experience, the GA+ Bundle adds perks like early entry, a dedicated merch line, a custom-designed festival crossbody bag, a special edition Teemo hat, a Convergence Fest water bottle, and a holiday ornament.
