Riftbound 2026 Set Release Schedule
Every Riftbound: League of Legends TCG set scheduled for 2026, from Spiritforged through Radiance, with official release dates and what's still speculation.
In this guide
Riftbound, Riot Games' official League of Legends trading card game, launched in late 2025, so 2026 is its first full calendar year. Riot has already published a roadmap through the back half of the year. Here is what is confirmed, with the standard reminder that a first-year TCG's dates can still move and should be checked against Riftbound's own site before you plan a preorder around them.
The confirmed 2026 set lineup
- Spiritforged (Set 2): released in China in December 2025, with the English release following on February 13, 2026.
- Unleashed (Set 3): previews begin March 16, 2026, with the full release on May 8, 2026. Early coverage centers it on jungle-themed champions and a new resource tied to cards with the Hunt keyword.
- Vendetta (Set 4): releases July 31, 2026, and is the first Riftbound set to reach global parity, meaning the English and Simplified Chinese versions launch on the same day rather than staggered. Reporting around the set has focused on Akali, Mel, and Ambessa and a rivalry theme drawn from League of Legends lore.
- Radiance (Set 5): previews begin September 21, 2026, releasing October 23, 2026. Early previews describe it as one of the largest Riftbound sets to date.
Why the Vendetta global-parity change matters
For its first two sets, Riftbound staggered its Chinese and English releases by weeks or months, which is common for a new TCG still building out regional print and logistics. Vendetta is the first set Riot has scheduled to drop in both regions simultaneously. If that holds, it is a signal the game's supply chain has matured enough to support a wider simultaneous launch, which matters for singles prices: staggered releases tend to create short-term import premiums in whichever region launches second, and global parity removes that gap.
Tracking value in a brand-new TCG
Because Riftbound is so young, its long-term chase cards are still being defined set by set rather than established by years of secondary-market history. Early value has concentrated in signature and alternate-art champion cards and scarce foil treatments from the first two sets. As Unleashed, Vendetta, and Radiance ship, a tracked collection is the simplest way to keep pulls and a want-list current without re-checking the whole set from scratch. To check what a specific Riftbound card is worth right now, search it on the Riftbound price guide for live reference pricing.
A caution on first-year hype
Riot has not published pull rates, print-run sizes, or long-term reprint plans for Riftbound, and the set-count and mechanic details circulating for Unleashed, Vendetta, and Radiance come from early previews rather than final patch notes. Treat specific price predictions for any of the three unreleased 2026 sets with the same skepticism you would apply to a brand-new game in any other collectible category.
