Every Riftbound release, in order
| Set | Release | Cards | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origins | Date never published | 298 cards | The launch set, and still the largest — 298 base cards, plus 54 Showcase alternate printings on top. |
| Origins: Proving Grounds | Date never published | 24 cards | A 24-card companion set that followed Origins closely — by far the smallest Riftbound release. |
| Spirit Forged | Date never published | 221 cards | 221 base cards, plus 66 Showcase printings. |
| Unleashed | Date never published | 219 cards | 219 base cards, plus 61 Showcase printings. |
| Vendetta | 31 July 2026 | 166 cards | Introduced Empower, Flow and Burn, and was the first Riftbound set to launch worldwide in English and Simplified Chinese simultaneously. |
| RadianceUpcoming | 23 October 2026 | 167 cards | Riot's Set 5 — 167 numbered cards, with Showcase treatments numbered above them (Riot's announcement said 180 including 66 Showcase; the first card to surface is printed 167/167). A step up from Vendetta. Six champion Legends are named so far, with three more still unrevealed. |
| LegacyUpcoming | 29 January 2027 | ~346 cards | Riot's Set 6 — the largest set announced so far, the first designed specifically for draft, and the one that changes pack composition (a common slot becomes a Legend-or-Battlefield slot). |
| Legacy boxed decksUpcoming | February 2027 | — | Four boxed decks built around Legacy champions. A product, not a set — no new card numbering of its own announced. |
| The ReckoningUpcoming | 30 April 2027 | ~264 cards | Riot's Set 7, built around League of Legends' biggest champions. |
| Set 8Upcoming | Q3 2027 | — | A placeholder slot on Riot's calendar — no name, champions or theme announced. |
| Set 9Upcoming | Q4 2027 | — | A placeholder slot on Riot's calendar — no name, champions or theme announced. |
Card counts are each set's own printed base total — the denominator on every card in it — not a catalogue row count, so Signature, over-numbered and promo printings above that total aren't included. Dates from Riot's published announcements; a set marked “Date never published” released before Riot began giving street dates, and we list it in order rather than guessing one.
