Riot Games will shut down League of Legends Classic in early January 2027, the company announced in a blog post.
The throwback mode launched in July but lost players quickly. Many returned to other parts of League, Riot said.
Before the shutdown, Riot will add windowed queues in regions with long wait times and keep adding champions through 2026 patches.

Riot plans to bring Classic back later, likely as a limited-time event shaped by player feedback.
The mode was promoted with a live match featuring ten retired pros at this summer’s Mid-Season Invitational. Unlike Blizzard’s successful World of Warcraft Classic, Riot’s version failed to keep players interested long term.
