When does League of Legends 2026 Season 3 end?
League of Legends 2026 Season 3 launches with Patch 26.15 on July 29, 2026 at 19:00 UTC (12:00 noon PT) per Riot Games. Riot has not yet confirmed an end date; recent League of Legends seasons have run a median of 101 days. The live countdown updates the moment Riot publishes the official close.
Season 3 closes out the 2026 ranked year and headlines the launch of League of Legends Classic. Ranked-split progress and Battle Pass objectives reset with the new season, so finish any outstanding rewards from the previous split before the transition.
2026 Season 3 overview
2026 Season 3 ships with Patch 26.15 on July 29, 2026 and is framed by Riot as a celebration of League's past and present. The headline addition is League of Legends Classic, a permanent mode that revives the original Summoner's Rift with 60 early-era champions (2009–2013), plus classic runes, masteries, items, and jungle, running on modern matchmaking with optional WASD controls.
The patch also ships a major Bel'Veth rework, a fresh Battle Pass, and a new ranked split with placement adjustments. Season 3 is the third numbered season of the 2026 ranked year, following the For Demacia and Pandemonium arcs.
Ranked split and Battle Pass planning
2026 Season 3 opens a new ranked split. LP and rank tier carry over from the previous split, but the act checkpoint on your profile resets to zero, so end-of-split rewards are based on the highest rank you reach during Season 3. A full soft reset with placement matches only happens once per ranked year, at the January 2027 transition.
A new Battle Pass launches alongside Season 3. Unclaimed tiers from the previous pass do not carry over, so any purchased or earned cosmetics you have not yet collected should be claimed before the season change. Use the live countdown to track the ranked-split window as Riot confirms the Season 3 end date.
What is League of Legends Classic?
League of Legends Classic is the centerpiece of 2026 Season 3 — a permanent game mode that rebuilds the 2009–2013 Summoner's Rift experience. It brings back 60 early-era champions, the old Runes and Masteries systems, classic items, and the original jungle, all layered on top of League's modern matchmaking and client. Optional WASD movement controls carry over from the current live game.
