League of Legends Season 1 2026 has now arrived, and while players are still getting used to the new changes, the theme has been spectacular.
However, there are some notable changes that have been implemented to Swiftplay, that we're going to run over below.
Here's what we know.
League of Legends Season 1 2026: All Swiftplay Changes
The new yearly model for League has allowed Riot to experiment heavily at the start of each year, and we're going to witness this once again for 2026.
Swiftplay is getting a ton of changes, as the mode has certainly accelerated in terms of getting into the action, and some of these changes in a brief summary, are:
- Start with 1400 Gold and automatcially increase to Level 3
- Baron now spawns at 12:00 minutes and Elder Dragon at 15:00
- Void Grubs and Rift Herald do not spawn in Swiftplay
- Increased respawn timers on death
- Increased Jungle Camp spawn timers
These additions, combined with the Crystalined: Overgrowth, have allowed the games to feel 'swifter.'
