League of Legends Patch 25.24B is a small B-patch that serves as a follow-up to Riot Games’ final major patch of 2025. Unlike the previous major patch, which made broad and significant changes to League of Legends’ core systems to close out the year, Patch 25.24B instead dials in on existing balance issues as the title heads into the new and highly-anticipated 2026 season.
League of Legends Patch 25.24B brings balance changes to numerous champions in the game, making specific changes to jungle outliers, damage scaling, and durability issues that arose as a result of the previous patch. This smaller update also takes the Ranked queue health as well as the general meta health early into account for Season 2026.
Patch 25.24B release date and server times
League of Legends Patch 25.24B is anticipated to launch on Thursday, 16 December 2025. As with most mid-cycle patches, server maintenance will be staggered by region.
Maintenance windows are anticipated to begin at:
- North America: 3:00 AM PT
- Europe West: 5:00 AM UK time
