Legacy is the first Riftbound set of 2027, and Riot is changing more than the card list: packs get a new slot for Legends and Battlefields, and it’s the first set built for drafting. Here’s everything Riot has confirmed, what the products cost to preorder right now, and what comes after it.

When does Riftbound Legacy come out?
Legacy releases worldwide on Friday, January 29, 2027. Riot’s timeline from now until then:
- December 4, 2026: the Gift of the Rift Bundle, a holiday box with 16 packs from all five earlier sets (see our Gift of the Rift Bundle guide).
- December 13 to 15, 2026: the first Legacy previews, at Convergence Fest. Radiance’s Regional Championships are part of the same event.
- January 2027: more previews, dates to be announced.
- January 22 to 28, 2027: Pre-Rift events (Riftbound’s prerelease) at local game stores.
- January 29, 2027: Legacy release.
- February 19, 2027: Proving Grounds, 2nd Edition.
- April 30, 2027: The Reckoning, set 7.
That keeps Riftbound’s roughly three-month rhythm: Radiance came out October 23, 2026, and Legacy follows about 14 weeks later.
Which Legends are in Riftbound Legacy?
Riot has named eight Legends and says “four more friends” are coming:
- Ashe (Freljord)
- Garen (Demacia)
- Heimerdinger (Piltover)
- Illaoi (Bilgewater)
- Karma (Ionia)
- Lux (Demacia)
- Tryndamere (Freljord)
- Vladimir (Noxus)
Ashe, Garen, Lux and Tryndamere each get a Champion Deck at launch. Heimerdinger, Karma, Vladimir and Illaoi lead the four decks in Proving Grounds, 2nd Edition a few weeks later. We’ll add the other four Legends as Riot reveals them.
The Legacy Legends’ cards you can buy now
Legacy’s own cards won’t be revealed until December, but seven of these champions already have Riftbound cards. Here are the most notable, with TCGplayer market prices from November 8, 2026. Tap a card to see it on TCGplayer.
The spread is huge: Karma’s artist-signed Spiritforged Overnumbered is the priciest of them at $345.12, while most of the regular versions cost under a dollar. Vladimir doesn’t have a Riftbound card yet, so Legacy will be his first.
What products are in Riftbound Legacy, and what do they cost?
Riot lists four product types for Legacy: booster packs and displays, four Champion Decks (Tryndamere, Ashe, Lux and Garen), a Vault Bundle, and Pre-Rift kits. Riot hasn’t posted prices or pack counts for Legacy yet. TCGplayer already has preorder listings:
| Product | TCGplayer preorder (Nov 8) |
|---|---|
| Booster Display | from $160.94 |
| Booster Pack | No listings yet |
| Vault Bundle | $119.70 market, from $69.91 |
| Pre-Rift Kit | from $79.95 |
| Booster Display Case | $1,440.00 market, from $997.86 |
| Champion Decks (Tryndamere, Ashe, Lux, Garen) | Not listed yet |
“From” is the cheapest preorder listing; “market” comes from preorder sales. Early preorder prices often move a lot before release.
Should you preorder? Look at the last set first. Radiance’s booster display had a $106.15 market price on November 8, about two weeks after release, well under where Legacy’s preorder listings start. If you just want to open packs, waiting until release week has been the cheaper move. See how every earlier set held up in our Riftbound sets ranked by value.
What’s new in Riftbound Legacy?
Riot called out several changes, and a couple affect every pack you open:
- A new Legend or Battlefield slot. One Common slot is replaced by a slot that holds a Legend or a Battlefield, about half the time each. From Legacy on, boosters have 6 Commons instead of 7. Showcase Legends and Battlefields still come in the Overnumbered slot, not the new one.
- Built for draft. Riot says Legacy is the first set designed for drafting, with champion synergies and “signpost” cards at lower rarities that point you toward each archetype.
- A new unit in Rune Kits: the Minion.
- Cleaner card text. A grey backer marks targets, an arrow separates a trigger from its effect, tokens are “created” instead of “played,” and “When you play me” becomes “When I enter.”
- League Classic art. Some cards use art inspired by League of Legends’ original look.
What is Proving Grounds, 2nd Edition?
Proving Grounds, 2nd Edition (PG2) is a $40 box of four ready-to-play Champion decks, out February 19, 2027 in English, Chinese, French and Korean. The decks are led by Heimerdinger, Karma, Vladimir and Illaoi. The box also has 4 oversized Battlefields, 4 paper playmats, 4 chibi score trackers and a rulebook. Riot says it holds no cards you can’t get from booster packs, so it’s a way to start playing, not a chase product. New to the game? Our best Riftbound starter decks guide compares every way in.
What comes after Riftbound Legacy?
The Reckoning, set 7, follows on April 30, 2027, with Pre-Rift events April 23 to 29. It has 264 cards (67 Showcase). Riot has named five of its Legends so far: Aurelion Sol, Cho’Gath, Shyvana, Vayne and Zilean, plus four more to come. Shyvana and Vayne get Champion Decks. Our Riftbound 2027 roadmap tracks every set and event.
We’ll update this page with every Legacy card reveal from December 13, then with real prices and pull rates at release. Until then, the newest set to collect is Radiance: here are the Radiance chase cards and the Radiance pull rates.
