How big is League of Legends? The game takes up 22-24 GB of storage after a full installation in 2026. The initial download is smaller at 9-10 GB, but the client unpacks and patches additional files during setup.
Riot's official minimum is 16 GB of free space, but the actual install is 22+ GB. Plan for at least 25 GB free to leave room for patches.
The installation happens in parts:
- Download the Riot Games client (~65 MB)
- The client downloads the full game (~9-10 GB)
- Log in to your account
- The client unpacks and installs the rest. Final size on disk is 22-24 GB
League gets patched every two weeks. Most patches are 100-400 MB. Larger updates with new champions or events can reach 500 MB-1 GB. Your install size creeps up a few GB over months of patches, so if you're seeing 25-28 GB after a while, that's normal.
A clean reinstall brings it back to ~22 GB. The built-in repair tool can also free up some space without a full reinstall.
Running low on your drive? You can move League to another drive without reinstalling. League is small compared to most modern games. Many titles now need 50-100+ GB. If you're still unsure whether your PC can run LoL, see the full system requirements guide.
