League of Legends server status: How to check if servers are down in your region

Riot Games' popular MOBA League of Legends, has established itself as one of the most played competitive esports titles in the world. League is dependent on various regional servers as it is a live-service multiplayer game.

Riot Games recently scheduled an Account Transfer Maintenance in League of Legends for all the twelve server regions, including the PBE.

Riot constantly needs to consider the welfare of players, server health, and maintenance due to the daily growing number of players. Server outages become an inevitable problem when such a large player base connects to and plays on the many regional servers.

To ensure a seamless gameplay experience for gamers, Riot Games does server maintenance on a regular basis. Here is how to check if a League of Legends server is scheduled for maintenance.

Including the Public-Beta Environment, there are twelve different server regions spread out across the globe for LoL. Depending on their region, players are free to pick from servers within that region, but they are not allowed to select a server from another region.

For example, someone from Asia-Pacific cannot choose a North American or Latin American server to play on, however, they can choose any of the Asia-Pacific servers.

The server regions for the game are as follows:

• Brazil (BR)
• Europe Nordic & East (EUNE)
• Europe West (EUW)
• Japan (JP)
• Republic of Korea (KR)
• Latin America North (LAN)
• Latin America South (LAS)
• North America (NA)
• Oceania (OCE)
• Russia (RU)
• Turkey (TR)
• PBE

1. Go to status.riotgames.com/

How to troubleshoot League of Legends internet problems

Restarting the game, restarting your network, and stopping any other internet tasks and downloads are a few troubleshooting alternatives. The two most popular techniques are explained here.

Restart the game:

• To force-quit a program on a PC, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete/Esc. To restart the game as usual, first choose "Task Manager," then "League of Legends," and finally "End Task."
• To force-quit a program on a Mac, press Option+Command+Esc, then choose the "League of Legends" app in the window and tap "Force Quit."

Restart the router:

• Reconnect your router to the power source after unplugging it for 30 seconds. After completing this, launch "League."

If there is no planned server maintenance and a player experiences server connection difficulties, the problem may be specific to them. In this situation, players are encouraged to open a ticket on the official Riot support website for LoL in this situation. Players can also use the error code that pops up as a cross-reference to identify the relevant problem.
