Here you’ll find a clear list of League of Legends champions by release date, sorted from newest to oldest. Learn when each champion arrived, and follow design shifts over time.
As of July 16, 2025, League of Legends features 171 playable champions on the live PC server. The newest addition is Yunara, who arrived with Patch 25.14. The roster grew from 40 launch champions in 2009 and crossed the 170 mark earlier this year. This total counts only official live releases, not PBE tests or mobile versions. Reworks keep the original debut year, so the headline number reflects unique champion releases rather than updates to existing kits.
