Because Riot Games operates on a set schedule, even though it's the beginning of the year, the exact dates for every patch are already available. Riot typically operates patches on Wednesdays throughout the year every two weeks. Still, there are the occasional extended patches (like at the end of the year before Riot’s winter break) and the occasional patch released on Thursdays, which are outlined above.
This means we also know the start date of every ranked season for the full year:
Season | Start Date |
|---|---|
2025 Season 1 | January 9 |
2025 Season 2 | April 30 |
2025 Season 3 | August 27 |
Another change that players may notice is that the name of the patches is no longer referred to by the traditional season, followed by the patch number. For example, last year was season 14, so patches were listed as 14.1, 14.2 and so on. This year, since League of Legends is now operating with three seasons per year, the first number seen on the patch is the year (25 for 2025), followed by an S and which season (so S1 for season 1) and then followed by the patch number for that season (so the first patch of the year is 25.S1.1. There appear to be 8 patches per season, equaling 24 patches throughout the year.
If there are unannounced changes to the patch schedule, this article will update with new information as it's made available.
