Can You Play League of Legends for Free?

Let’s cut right to the chase. Aside from its gameplay, one of the most appealing parts of League of Legends is that it is in fact free to play. It costs absolutely nothing and can be downloaded and run on most PCs that have been released in the last decade.

In fact, a big reason for its popularity is that it costs nothing to try and it’s not a difficult game to run, making it a staple game of PC cafes around the world.

However, while League of Legends is free, you don’t get access to everything. In order to unlock and play as new Champions, you’ll need to either do a ton of grinding out of games or pony up for Riot Points AKA RP, which is the premium currency that League of Legends uses.

You can use RP to buy new characters and skins, but if you choose to only play for free, you get a decent set of rotating champions to try out without having to pay a dime.

You can download League of Legends right here (NA) via Riot. It’s only available on PC and is likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

That’s all you need to know about how to play League of Legends free. For more League of Legends, try your hand at some trivia and see if your LoL knowledge is up to snuff.
