22.0 GB
Five champions, one map, and a lifetime of outplays.
League of Legends is a free strategy game released under Free to Play. It runs on Windows, macOS, needs about 22.0 GB of disk space, and requires no account, payment or trial. On a computer, the fastest route is the PlayBound Launcher. On a phone or tablet, use the official store or site instead.
One-click install
PlayBound fetches the official release — no third-party mirrors.
Install the PlayBound Launcher, then find League of Legends and press Install. The launcher downloads the official release, unpacks it and creates a shortcut. This is the fastest route and it never uses third-party mirrors.
Alternatively, download League of Legends directly from the official site at https://www.leagueoflegends.com. Always download from the official source — third-party mirrors of free games are a common malware vector.
Windows
Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. If Windows SmartScreen warns about an unrecognised publisher, that is normal for open-source projects without a paid code-signing certificate — choose More info, then Run anyway.
macOS
Open the downloaded .dmg and drag the app into Applications. On first launch macOS may refuse to open it as unidentified — right-click the app and choose Open to approve it once.
Launch the game and look at the settings menu before your first session — resolution and control defaults are worth checking. League of Legends needs roughly 22.0 GB of free disk space.
