LoL Patch 26.1 notes: All buffs, nerfs, and more

It’s time to wrap up the snowy holiday season to venture to Demacia on the Summoner’s Rift. League of Legends is here with its first patch of the year 2026. 

This patch is significantly bigger than the rest because it’s a seasonal update, and there are multiple new changes to the gameplay. There is also the usual balance updates for the champions to set up the meta as we head into the new season of League esports.
