All upcoming League of Legends Skins set for 2026

League of Legends is already shaping up for a busy 2026, and skins are clearly going to be a big part of that roadmap. Between internally planned cosmetics and highly credible leaks circulating in the community, players are beginning to get an early picture of what next year’s cosmetic direction might look like. From thematic expansions to returning skin lines, here is everything currently expected to arrive in 2026, grouped by category.

Season 2026 Act 1

Demacia-Focused Skins

The opening phase of the year is expected to lean heavily into Demacia’s visual identity, combining lore-driven storytelling with striking armor-focused aesthetics. These are reportedly tied closely to the new season framework.

Firecracker skins returning for Lunar New Year

One of the most popular seasonal skin lines is also expected to come back. Firecracker continues to grow every time it returns, and 2026 seems poised to introduce several fan-favorite champions into the theme.

New class Battle Academia incoming

Another major return appears to be lined up for Battle Academia. The high-style anime-inspired faction is reportedly preparing new additions, with one champion in particular standing firmly under the spotlight.

• Battle Academia Samira
  Additional variant reportedly listed as well, hinting at either multiple versions or evolving cosmetic content.

Delayed star Exalted Line steps forward

Not every upcoming skin originates directly from 2026 plans. Some content appears to have shifted forward from previous development cycles, bringing one long-anticipated cosmetic back into focus.

• Exalted Viego

Some of these cosmetics have been directly tied to development planning, while others stem from reliable leaks and early data. Exact release windows, patch numbers, final pricing, and event placement remain subject to change as Riot finalizes the year’s structure.

2026 is shaping up to be a visually ambitious year for League of Legends, with bold themes, returning fan-favorite skin lines, and high-profile champions receiving fresh designs. More details are expected to surface as we move closer to the new season, and updates will continue as information becomes official.
