Okay, let’s talk about the end of the second split of League of Legends’ 2023 season. I’ve been grinding hard, you know, trying to climb that ranked ladder and see how far I could go. And honestly I just do not know when to stop!
So, I did some digging. Initially, there wasn’t a rock-solid date from Riot. They were like, “We’ll let you know,” which, you know, doesn’t really help when you’re trying to plan your life around hitting that next rank.

I even saw some folks saying it might stretch all the way to January 3rd, 2024! Can you believe that? That’s way longer than usual. Apparently, it’s because they’re ditching the whole preseason thing starting with Season 14.
But then, like a beacon of hope, Riot finally dropped the actual date. Mark your calendars, folks, because Split 2 of the 2023 season officially ended on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. That’s right, just one day before Season 2024 kicks off.
I remember seeing something about ranked matches being available until like 3 AM Central Time. That’s pretty standard, though. They usually shut things down around that time when a split ends.
- Split 2 End Date: January 9, 2024
- Season 2024 Start Date: January 10, 2024
- Ranked Matches Available Until: Around 3 AM CT on January 9
- Season 14 Start Date: Also January 9, 2024, with patch 14.1
- Season 2024 Split 2 End Date: Rumored to be September 24, 2024
- Season 2024 Split 3 End Date: Apparently January 9, 2025
Here is what I found out ultimately:
Now, if you’re wondering about those splits, they are basically mini-seasons within the main season. This year, they divided it into three splits. I guess it’s their way of keeping things interesting and giving players more chances to jump in or come back.
Looking ahead, it seems like Season 14 is gonna be a big deal. They are starting it on the same day as the end of Split 2, which is kind of wild. And get this, they are saying the whole 2024 competitive season will wrap up on January 9, 2025. That’s a long way off, but hey, at least we have a date, right?
So, that’s the lowdown on the end of Split 2 and what I found out about the upcoming seasons. I just really hope that in Season 14 there will be changes because it is really hard to climb the ladder, but it is fun! Hope this helps you guys out! Game on!
