How to Switch Regions in League of Legends

How to switch regions in LoL

Let me explain how to switch regions for League of Legends through three different methods.

Each method has different costs and requirements, so I'll help you pick the best option.

Method 1: Using the In-Game Shop

  1. Open your League client
  2. Click the Store icon next to your RP balance
  3. Click the Account icon in the top right corner
  4. Select your desired region
  5. Pay 2,600 RP ($21.99)
  6. Log out and log back in

Remember, you can only use this method once per account. You'll lose your Honor Level, Clash progress, and current ranking. Some regions like Brazil don't allow transfers.

Method 2: Creating a New Account

  1. Go to League's website
  2. Click "PLAY FOR FREE"
  3. Look for the Region dropdown in the top right
  4. Pick your region
  5. Make your new account

This method costs nothing but you start fresh. You keep your old account and can switch between them.

Method 3: Using a VPN

  1. Choose and buy a VPN service ($10-15 monthly)
  2. Install the VPN on your computer
  3. Connect to a location in your desired region
  4. Create a new account while connected

Important notes about region switching:

  • Some regions need local ID (China, South Korea)
  • The shop method costs money but keeps your purchases
  • New accounts are free but start at level 1
  • VPNs add extra costs but give more flexibility

I recommend the shop method if you want to keep your items and have RP to spend.

Create a new account if you don't mind starting fresh.

Use VPN only if the other methods don't work for your situation.
