Riftbound: Radiance – everything about set 5 of the League of Legends TCG

Riftbound: Radiance is the fifth set of Riftbound, the League of Legends TCG, and releases worldwide on 23 October 2026. After Origins, Spiritforged, Unleashed and Vendetta, Radiance closes out the Riftbound year 2026. In this article you'll read when the set releases, which Champions are in it and which products are coming.

When does Riftbound: Radiance release?

During the Pre-Rift week you could already play Radiance at participating stores. From 23 October the set is available everywhere.

Which Champions are in Radiance?

Radiance brings nine new Legends to Riftbound. The best-known names are Ekko, Seraphine and Evelynn. Seraphine and Evelynn take centre stage in the new Showdown Deck, where you can play them against each other right away.

As with every Riftbound set, you get new cards for your existing decks and new Legends to build a deck around. If you already play with cards from earlier sets, you can keep using them and add Radiance to the mix.

Which Riftbound: Radiance products are there?

• Booster Display with 24 Radiance booster packs
• Single booster packs
• Showdown Deck with Evelynn and Seraphine
• Vault bundle with Radiance boosters and extras
• Playmats in the Radiance design

The Showdown Deck: Evelynn versus Seraphine

The Showdown Deck is ideal if you want to start together with a friend. You get two ready-to-play 56-card decks, one built around Evelynn and one around Seraphine. It also includes two Radiance booster packs, two paper playmats, two foldable deck boxes and an English rulebook. No deck building needed: open it and play.

Booster Display or single boosters?

Do you really want to collect the set, or are you hosting a Draft or Sealed night with friends? Then a complete Booster Display is the easiest choice. If you mainly want a taste of the new cards, single booster packs or the Vault are a nice start.

How to get started with Riftbound: Radiance

Completely new to Riftbound? There are three easy ways to get in:

• Start together: choose the Showdown Deck. You get two ready-to-play decks, so the two of you can sit down and play right away.
• Expand your collection: open a few booster packs or the Vault and add the best cards to a deck you already own.
• Collect everything: go for a complete Booster Display. With 24 booster packs you get a solid base of the set in one go.

Don't forget to protect your cards either. With sleeves and a binder your best pulls stay in top condition, both while playing and in your collection.

Is Riftbound: Radiance worth it?

For players, Radiance brings new Legends and cards you can combine with your existing collection. The Showdown Deck also makes the set interesting for new players, because two people can start playing right away. Collectors can once again hunt for the best versions of their favourite Champions.
