Current verified changes

  • League Classic available — Riot's official Classic page now presents the mode as available through the standard League client.
  • 60-champion launch roster and returning systems — The live scope contains 60 champions with classic gameplay plus returning early-era items, Runes, Masteries and Summoner Spells. The linked entity set uses the site's reviewed catalog rather than treating reported names as Riot-published plain text.
  • Draft, Co-op vs AI and custom launch queues — Riot's systems overview lists one PvP Draft queue, Co-op vs AI and custom games. Ranked is not part of the announced launch set.
  • Classic Pass: Act I begins — Riot Support records the Act I content start on July 29 at 11:00 AM PT, with progression ending September 21 and pass deactivation on September 22.

Affected records

239 reviewed records (60 champions, 71 items, 44 Runes, 56 Masteries and 8 Summoner Spell) are connected to the launch-content change. Each linked record retains its own official or community evidence label; connection here does not upgrade its source status. Empty affected-record sets mean the change applies to access, queues or scheduling rather than a named entity.

Superseded history

Earlier information is retained below so readers can see why older pages or search results may differ from the live state.

  • Classic announced for Patch 26.15 — The July 28 patch notes described League Classic as coming with Patch 26.15. This launch-announcement state is retained for history and was superseded when Riot marked the mode available.
