League Classic launched with a starting roster of 60 champions, all using their pre-rework kits, and Riot has since grown it to 88, drawn from the mode's Season 3 foundation with additions cut off around 2013. The mode went live on July 29, 2026 and ends its current run on January 6, 2027 (details and refund deadlines). This is the full list, grouped by class, plus the champions still to come. For what the mode actually is, see our League of Legends Classic guide.
Full League Classic Champion List (88)
These are the 88 champions currently in League Classic: the 60 from the launch roster, which included all of the original 40 launch champions, plus 28 Riot has added since. Each plays with its older gameplay kit, so champions that have had a full rework since (Sion, Warwick, and Fiddlesticks among them) differ significantly from their live versions. Class reflects each champion's general archetype, and the last column shows whether the champion was in the launch 60.

The three names dataminers were unsure about before the reveal (Corki, Kassadin, and Sion) are all confirmed in the starting 60. For when each of these champions first released, see our champions by release date list.
Champions Added After Launch
The starting 60 were only the first wave, as Meddler said at the reveal ("aren't all the champs that will ever be in Classic"). Riot has since released champions in batches, per the League of Legends wiki:
- Akali, Kennen, Shen
- Fiora, Galio, Poppy, Shyvana, Xin Zhao
- Fizz, Graves, Nami, Nautilus
- Aatrox, Caitlyn, Irelia, Karma, Quinn
- Hecarim, Lucian, Mordekaiser, Yorick
- Elise, Swain, Volibear
- Talon, Urgot, Udyr, Xerath
Urgot is a notable one: Meddler called old Urgot the kit he is personally most excited to play, and he arrived in the latest batch listed.
Champions Still to Come
The wiki lists LeBlanc as the one champion confirmed to appear in the future. With Classic ending on January 6, 2027, the window for further additions is short. Newer champions are still absent because releases are cut off around 2013, which excludes most of the modern roster.
What Era Are the Classic Kits From?
League Classic is not frozen to a single patch. Riot built it on a Season 3 foundation and pulled in elements from across the first four seasons, with champion releases stopping around 2013. That is why the roster looks like an early-to-mid LoL lineup rather than any one historical patch. For the full breakdown of the mode's era, items, runes, and systems, see the League Classic guide.
Will More Champions Be Added?
Possibly a few more, starting with LeBlanc. Meddler said the 2013 cutoff is a target rather than a hard rule and that it "will depend on what people who play Classic want," but the mode ends its current run on January 6, 2027, so the roster has limited time left to grow. To see how League Classic fits alongside every current queue, see our guide to all League of Legends game modes.
What's the Difference Between the Original 40 and Original 17 Champions?
The "original 40" means League's first 40 released champions, available at the game's October 2009 launch and all included in the Classic starting roster. The "original 17" is a separate milestone: the 17 champions playable when League of Legends entered closed beta in April 2009. Neither figure is the Classic roster size, which is now 88.
