How to check League of Legends (LoL) server status

We’ve got a bunch of handy ways to check LoL server status:

• Check the official Server Status page: This lets you check the current condition of the game servers. Green icons ensure that things are working as intended. You can also learn about ongoing maintenance or other issues here.
• Check the Riot client directly: Boot up the client and a banner will inform you of any issues that currently plague the game. Since it’s an online multiplayer title, ensuring a smooth internet connection will help you minimize such errors if they aren’t server-side.
• Third-party sites like Downdetector: Use these sites to get a quick idea of how many people are affected by a particular problem. Note that these sites run on inputs from users so feel free to drop a ticket if a game isn’t working.
• Keep tabs on Riot’s social media: The official X (formerly Twitter) Riot Games Support account will share updates on any server status issues or downtime.

That covers if the MOBA from Riot Games is down. If things are back to normal, get back into the game right away. You can check its Mac support out if you’re considering gaming on a Mac.
