How to Change Your League of Legends Email

Confirm the League account before editing it

Players who use several regions, social sign-ins, or older accounts can land in the wrong Riot profile. Open League first and note the public Riot ID attached to the profile you mean to update. Then compare it with the Riot ID shown after signing in to Account Management.

If those identities do not match, sign out before touching the email field. Riot does not combine two player accounts, and changing an email cannot move champions, skins, ranked history, TFT progress, or purchases from one account to another.

How to change your League of Legends account email

1. Open Riot Account Management in a browser. Verify that the page uses HTTPS and the address is on account.riotgames.com.
2. Sign in with the Riot Account that owns the League profile you checked. Complete any security prompt Riot displays.
3. Find the account-information section that contains the registered email. Select the edit or update control beside that field; the exact label can change as Riot revises the portal.
4. Enter an address you control and review it for typing mistakes.
5. Complete the authorization and verification instructions on screen. A verified account may require confirmation through an inbox associated with the account.
6. Open the newest verification message from Riot. If you requested several messages, an older link may no longer be valid.
7. Return to the account page and check that the new address is shown as the registered, verified email.

The League client does not need to be reinstalled. If it was open, account information may remain cached for that session; sign out and relaunch only when the old details still appear.

What changes—and what stays the same?

If the goal is a public rename rather than an email update, use the League Riot ID name-change instructions.

If you cannot use the old email address

A missing old inbox turns the change into an ownership-recovery case. Go to Riot’s official recovery service or Player Support; do not use an “account recovery” seller, borrowed inbox, or forged receipt.

Riot may request a working contact email plus details that help establish ownership, including the account’s creation date and place, date of birth, linked social sign-in, or transaction IDs from legitimate receipts. Answer accurately. Do not post this information publicly or send credentials in a chat message.

If you suspect a takeover, follow the broader League account recovery guide and protect the associated email provider immediately.

Common League email problems

Riot’s verification email is missing

Confirm the new address is spelled correctly and check spam, junk, promotions, and blocked senders. Wait before requesting another message. When multiple messages exist, use the newest; Riot’s verification FAQ notes that an older identifier can expire.

League still appears tied to the old address

First recheck Account Management. If the new email is verified there, sign out of the League and Riot clients, close them fully, and sign back in. Do not reinstall the game just to refresh an account field.

The account portal has no League collection

You probably opened a different Riot Account. Stop and recover the username for the intended account rather than trying to transfer data; Riot accounts cannot be merged.

The confirmation link is invalid

Request one new verification message from the official portal and use only that newest link. If it still fails, send Riot Support one complete ticket instead of flooding the system with requests.

Protect the account after the update

Once the new address is verified, secure both ends of the recovery chain:

• Give the email provider and Riot Account different, unique passwords.
• Turn on Riot multi-factor authentication; see the League account MFA walkthrough.
• Use Riot’s official account page directly rather than links in unexpected emails.
• Sign out on shared computers and do not share the Riot Account.
• If the password may also be exposed, update it with the League password guide.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing a League email cost RP?

No. The registered email is an account-management field, not a League Store purchase.

Will the change affect TFT on the League client?

The new email applies to that same Riot Account, including League and its TFT profile. It does not reset TFT progression or cosmetics.

Does it also change the email used for VALORANT?

Yes, if VALORANT is on the same Riot Account. The change does not connect two separate accounts.

How quickly will the email update?

The portal should show the result after Riot accepts the required verification. Riot does not guarantee one completion time for recovery cases handled by Support.

Bottom line

Verify the correct League profile, change its email through Riot Account Management, and confirm the newest verification message. Your League collection and rank stay on the account. When the old inbox is unavailable, use Riot recovery rather than attempting to work around ownership checks.
