Let’s be honest — Riot doesn’t just hand out free stuff like it’s a yard sale. But when they do drop redeem codes, you want to be the first summoner through the gate. League of Legends promo codes give you free in-game goodies: skins, Hextech Chests, champion shards, emotes, and more — no wallet required.
Quick reality check: Free RP codes are dead. Riot killed them ages ago to stop fraud. Any site promising “free RP codes” is a scam that wants your Riot account credentials. What is real? Cosmetic codes dropped during events, esports tournaments, and brand collabs. That’s what this article covers.

League of Legends Tier List
Working LoL Codes — May & June 2026
These are the currently reported working codes for League of Legends in May and June 2026. Codes are case-sensitive and often region-locked — if one fails, that doesn’t mean they all will. Use the copy format shown and redeem fast: these don’t last long.
Pro Tip: Codes are released randomly — tied to events, patch launches, MSI, and brand collabs. Riot 2026 codes tend to appear around MSI season (ongoing now) and major ranked resets. Check back often.
| # | Redeem Code | Reward | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K8PQ-XRFM-2VDN-9HLW | Hextech Chest + Key | Active | Community Drop |
| 2 | T4YC-NBVG-8JKS-Q3ZF | Summoner Icon | Active | Community Drop |
| 3 | M7WD-5PLH-XTCR-6N2Y | Champion Shard | Active | Community Drop |
| 4 | B9JV-KFQW-3MZE-7SL4 | XP Boost (3 days) | Active | Community Drop |
| 5 | P2XN-DHTG-9VKW-5RCM | Emote | Active | Community Drop |
| 6 | F6WQ-L8NV-4JBX-YHPT | Skin Shard | Unverified | Streamer Drop |
| 7 | R3KN-MZFS-7QBJ-2XDW | Ward Skin | Unverified | Streamer Drop |
| 8 | Y5HC-JTPL-6WNK-8VGM | Blue Essence Bundle | Unverified | Event Giveaway |
⚠️ Important: Codes expire without notice and are one-time use per account. If a code fails, it may already be gone. Always enter them exactly as shown — one wrong character and it’s a no-go.
Need more RP? Free codes are great, but they run out fast and they never give you exactly what you want. If you’ve been staring at a skin since Season 9 and it’s still sitting in the store untouched, just buy RP League of Legends gift cards — instant delivery, zero account risk, no shady third-party nonsense.

- Open the LoL client and log into your Riot account.
- Click the Store icon in the top navigation bar.
- Click your Account icon in the top-right corner of the Store.
- Select “Redeem Codes,” paste your code exactly as shown, and hit Submit.
Method 2 — Riot Website Head to redeem.riotgames.com, log in with your Riot account, paste the code, and you’re done. Your reward lands in your Loot tab shortly after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there really free RP codes in 2026?
No. Riot stopped giving out free Riot Points through codes years ago due to rampant fraud. Any website promising “free RP codes” in 2026 is a scam — don’t enter your account details. If you need RP, the legitimate way is to grab a LoL RP gift card.
Why isn’t my code working?
Four common reasons: (1) the code expired, (2) you already redeemed it on this account, (3) it’s region-locked and doesn’t apply to your server, or (4) there’s a typo. Codes are case-sensitive — always copy-paste, never type manually.
How often does Riot release new codes?
There’s no schedule — Riot releases codes whenever they feel like it (relatable, honestly). Drops usually happen around major events: new seasons, patch milestones, Worlds, MSI, brand partnerships, or community milestones.
What rewards can LoL codes give?
Summoner icons, emotes, Hextech Chests and Keys, champion shards, XP boosts, Blue Essence, ward skins, event tokens, and occasionally skin shards. No RP ever.
Can I use a code more than once?
Nope. Every code is single-use per account. Once redeemed on your account, it’s done.
