Riot Games’ LEC rulebook sets the minimum wage for players at €60,000 — but most players earn more than this base amount. On the other hand, no LEC player has earned a seven-figure salary since the start of 2024, reflecting the downward trend in salaries over the past three years.

According to data collected by Sheep Esports, the average salary for LEC players in 2025 is €240,000. In comparison, the estimated average for summer 2024 was €270,000, marking €30,000 (11%) decrease since the last split. This figure accounts only for players on the active roster of an LEC team.
