What the Riftbound Radiance Teasers Reveal So Far
Radiance is the fifth set for Riftbound, the League of Legends trading card game, and the teaser cycle is now in full swing. Previews kicked off at RQ Los Angeles from September 25–27, 2026, and the spoiler season continues through October 9. That two-week window is when the majority of new cards, mechanics, and treatments will be revealed to the public before the set's worldwide launch on October 23, 2026.
The teasers so far center on three pillars: a roster of new Legends, a fresh wave of collector-focused card treatments, and a headlining Showdown Decks product built around two of Runeterra's most contrasting champions — Seraphine and Evelynn.

Official Radiance reveals are tracked under the #RBRadiance hashtag. Watching that tag during the September 25 – October 9 preview window is the fastest way to catch every card the moment it drops.
Full Radiance Release Timeline
The teaser and release schedule follows the same three-phase structure Riftbound players will recognize from previous sets. Knowing each phase helps you plan purchases and preview coverage without missing anything.
| Phase | Dates | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Previews | September 25 – October 9, 2026 | Card reveals begin at RQ Los Angeles (Sep 25–27), then continue daily |
| Pre-Rift | October 16–22, 2026 | Early-access play period with Pre-Rift kits at participating stores |
| Worldwide Release | October 23, 2026 | Radiance booster packs, displays, and Showdown Decks go on sale |
The main spoiler season runs only through October 9. After that, expect a quiet stretch before Pre-Rift events begin on October 16 — plan your deck-theory sessions around that gap.
Confirmed Legends from the Teasers
Six Legends have been confirmed for Radiance so far, and the lineup leans heavily into Piltover, Zaun, and Demacia — with a musical theme running through the set's identity.
| Legend | Region Flavor | Teaser Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Seraphine | Piltover | Headlining Legend; fronts the Showdown Deck product |
| Evelynn | Runeterra (dark) | Co-headliner; aggressive counterpart to Seraphine |
| Ekko | Zaun | Highly requested; time-manipulation themes expected |
| Ziggs | Zaun | Explosive, chaotic playstyle teased |
| Jarvan IV | Demacia | First Demacian ruler-type Legend of the set |
| Orianna | Piltover | Clockwork mechanical themes teased |
Three additional Legends remain unannounced and will be revealed as the teaser schedule continues.
Community requests are loud and clear: players are asking for Sejuani, Shaco, Fiddlesticks, Twitch, Lissandra, Xayah and Rakan, Sona, and Taric. None are confirmed yet — treat any claim otherwise as speculation until an official #RBRadiance reveal drops.
