| 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. |

| RadianceUpcoming | 23 October 2026 | ~180 cards | Riot's Set 5. A step up in size from Vendetta, with five champion Legends who have no Riftbound card yet. |
| 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). |

| 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.
