Here’s the patch schedule for League of Legends in 2023

Riot periodically releases League of Legends patches that include a myriad of fixes, improvements, and new content for the game.

Patches cater to both competitive play and solo queue, targeting champions, items, runes, and summoner spells.

They also frequently include new skins, along with new champions on a less regular basis. In 2021, a bunch of skins and a handful of champions (Bel’Veth, K’Sante, Nilah, Zeri, Renata Glasc) made their way to League. Many more are expected to come to the game in 2023.

How often are patches in League of Legends released?

Patches in League of Legends are released every two weeks. This means the developers have just enough time to react to the changes added in a previous patch, nerfing some overpowered champions or items, or buffing those systems which still feel behind. Moreover, in those two-week period, players have the chance to explore new meta possibilities. Consistent changes every two weeks also keep the game fresh and dynamic.
