Riot Games will shut down League of Legends Classic in January
Riot Games says League of Legends Classic, a throwback mode that launched in late July 2026, will go offline in January 2027 because most players have gone back to other parts of League. Players will be refunded for Classic-only content, and Riot says it hopes to bring Classic back, likely as an event mode.
