When does League of Legends season 12 end?

"I'll just end up walking in the cold November rain."

League of Legends seasons have a limited lifespan. Players will often have less than a year to showcase their talents and earn a suitable rank for their efforts. Though you may want your best season to last forever, you probably won’t want to miss out on the end-of-season rewards, which only get better as you rank up more.

Season 12 in League kicked off on Jan. 7 and will end on Nov. 14. Each season brings balance changes and a new way to play League. This forces players to adapt to the latest metagame and helps the game feel fresh. If your favorite champion suddenly finds itself at the bottom of tier lists, you’ll want to learn a new one if you’d like to win more games in the new season.

Throughout a season, players will also be able to enjoy various events that Riot Games rolls out periodically. From summer events to Christmas-themed adventures, there will always be something new to do in League.

At the end of each season, players will often flock back to the game in an effort to rank up quickly to Gold. Only players ranked Gold and higher have access to ranked rewards, including the always-coveted Victorious skin

When will League of Legends season 12 end?

Season 12 in League will end on Nov. 14 at 11:59pm local server time. Each ranked League season has traditionally ended in November, giving players approximately two months to test out preseason changes before a new ranked season begins in January of the following year. 

Each ranked season, players who hit the Gold threshold receive a free skin as a reward for their efforts.  This season, players who finish the season ranked Gold or higher will receive the Victorious Sejuani skin. It’s important to keep in mind that when the season ends on Nov. 14, your eligibility for ranked rewards will be locked, even if your rank goes up during the preseason. If you finish the season in Gold but advance to Platinum during the off-season, your rewards will still be based on your previous rank.
