May 28 brought Riot’s Pride 2026 event to League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, adding new LGBTQ+-themed emotes, missions and returning cosmetics across both games.
League’s event runs from Patch 26.11 through 26.13, with two new emotes priced at 1 Blue Essence and a limited 26.11 mission rewarding 500 Battle Pass XP for playing 3 premade games.
Past League Pride icons, emotes and homeguard trails also returned at 1 Blue Essence each, while the full icon bundle reactivates Pride trails through patches 26.11, 26.12 and 26.13.
TFT’s Patch 17.4 adds a new Happy Gills emote for 50 Realm Crystals and two mission tracks available through June 30, including repeatable-style rewards tied to equipping the 2026 Pride emote.
The launch marks Riot’s sixth year celebrating Pride and ninth year of support, with a broader company update due June 1 and LGBTQ+ artist collaborations planned through June.
