Here’s the League of Legends season 10 patch schedule

League of Legends' regular patch cycle continues on for 2020 - here are the dates you can expect patches to go live

It’s a big year for League of Legends. We’re over halfway into season 10 and there’s already been plenty of goodies added to the game – and plenty more to look forward to. We’ve seen a bunch of those 120 new League of Legends skins – including a free new-look Volibear skin for players of the Juggernaut Champ – so far, as well as LoL’s new Jungler Champion Lillia – and it looks like there’s another new character for LoL, Yone, on the way, too. Maybe. Phew!

But, of course, the MMORPG‘s fortnightly update cycle continues, bringing balance changes to Champions, item adjustments, overhauls to VFX, VO, and character models, and more throughout the year. So far in 2020 we’ve already seen the arrival of Sett, The Boss, a Fiddlesticks rework, a Volibear overhaul, and a raft of new skins and balance tweaks.

LoL patch 10.16 recently dropped, and LoL patch 10.18 is now on the PBE and is expected to drop September 2. We’re evading the norm’ here a bit as we’re skipping LoL patch 10.17 as Riot is taking a week off.

If you’re keen to know when each and every LoL update is due to arrive over the next year, developer Riot has the answers – check out the full League of Legends patch schedule below.
