T1 Roster 2026 and Contract Lengths: Faker and Keria Through 2029, Oner and Peyz Through 2028, Doran Through the 2026 Season

If you searched for the T1 roster in 2026 or for how long each player is signed, the timing makes sense: Worlds 2026 is down to its quarterfinals on US soil, and the LCK offseason begins right after the final in Brooklyn.

This page only uses what T1 announced on its official channels and what established esports outlets reported, checked on November 3, 2026 (Korea time).

The short version: four of T1's five starters are signed into 2028 or beyond, and the only starter whose contract runs out with the 2026 season is top laner Doran. The table below lists every player with his contract end year and when it was announced.

After that you will find what is actually known about Doran's deal and the offseason window, how the 2026 roster came together, and T1's remaining Worlds dates in US time.

Transfer rumors and community chatter are left out on purpose, and this page will be updated when T1 officially announces a re-signing or a departure. For the game itself, see the League of Legends hub.

T1 roster 2026 and contract end dates (as of November 3)

Doran's contract: how long it runs and when the LCK offseason starts

Doran joined T1 for the 2025 season on a one plus one contract, meaning the second year was an option. On November 17, 2025, T1 announced on its official social channels that he would stay for 2026, which carried his contract through the 2026 season.

That was the same day his original deal was due to expire, and T1 said it was looking forward to aiming higher together with him. The exact end date of the current deal has not been published. What is consistent is that LCK contracts tend to end in mid November, right after Worlds.

Keria's previous deal was set to expire on November 16, 2026, and the 2025 offseason opened on the morning of November 18 with a wave of contract expiry announcements from LCK teams. As of November 3, 2026, T1 has made no official announcement about Doran's 2027 status.

If you are following 'doran contract' news, T1's official social channels and the LCK's own announcements are the reliable places to check. Anything that has not been officially announced is left out of this page.

How the T1 2026 roster came together

1. 1Faker extends through 2029On July 27, 2025, T1 announced a four year extension with Faker, moving his contract end from late 2025 to 2029. It was the first long term deal of the current core.

2. 2Doran stays, Gumayusi leavesOn November 17, 2025, T1 confirmed Doran for 2026. In the same window, bot laner Gumayusi, part of all three of T1's straight Worlds titles, became a free agent when his contract ended, and Hanwha Life Esports later announced his signing.
3. 3Peyz signs as the new bot lanerTwo days later, on November 19, T1 announced Peyz on a contract through 2028. He played the 2023 and 2024 seasons at Gen.G and the 2025 season in the LPL with JD Gaming before moving to T1.
4. 4Oner extends through 2028On December 24, 2025 (Korea time), T1 posted a video announcing a two year extension for Oner. His previous deal ran through the 2026 season, and in the video he said he would stay with T1 for two more years, through 2028.
5. 5Keria re-signs at the home ground eventOn April 26, 2026, at T1's LCK home ground event in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, T1 revealed a three year extension for Keria in front of fans. His deal had been due to end on November 16, 2026, and now runs through 2029, the same year as Faker's.
6. 6Worlds 2026: three wins and one loss in the Swiss stageT1 qualified for Worlds 2026 as the LCK's third place team and cleared the Swiss stage with three wins and one loss. With the win over CTBC Flying Oyster on October 26, Keria passed Faker as the player with the most assists in Worlds history. The quarterfinal against LEC side Karmine Corp is a best of five on November 6 at 4 p.m. CT in Allen, Texas.

T1 at Worlds 2026: remaining dates in US time and what to watch

• Quarterfinal, T1 vs Karmine Corp: Friday, November 6, 4 p.m. CT (5 p.m. ET, 2 p.m. PT), best of five, in Allen, Texas.
• Semifinals: if T1 wins, the opponent is the winner of Dplus KIA vs Bilibili Gaming. The two semifinals are on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, both at 4 p.m. CT.
• Final: Saturday, November 14, 2 p.m. ET at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. T1 won in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is going for a fourth straight title.
• Offseason: LCK contract expiries and free agency cluster in mid November (the 2025 offseason opened on November 18). Check T1's official channels for Doran's 2027 status.
• Filtering rumors: lines like 'sources say' and posts from fan accounts are not announcements. Treat a move as real when T1 or the LCK posts it, or when a news outlet quotes the team's announcement.

After watching Worlds, record your own games and compare

Watching pros often sends you straight into solo queue on the same champions. As of November 3, Lee Sin, Ezreal, Alistar and Orianna were among the most picked champions in the Worlds 2026 main event. If you keep that game on video, you can put the pro play and your own decisions side by side.

DOR is a free Windows app: when you launch League, it detects the game and records the whole match, and it saves kills, multikills and objectives as separate highlight clips.

Everything lands in My Clips inside the app, where you can trim the part you want to 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, or send a dor.gg link that plays right in a phone browser. Replay recording is on by default for League, so playing a .rofl replay in the client gets recorded as well. For how to review those recordings, see how to VOD review your League games and how to get better at League of Legends; for how automatic clips are saved, see how to save a LoL pentakill clip.
