League of Legends Arena will return in Season 14, with further improvements and a “2v2v2v2v2v2v2v2” format. Instead of two to four teams competing in a match, there will now be eight teams to encourage more champion variety and experimentation.
The 2v2v2v2 arena mode was incredibly successful when it was first introduced in Season 13. The community loved it so much that they wanted to make it one of the permanent mods in MOBAs along with ARAM and Summoner’s Rift.
However, Riot Games might consider it to keep rotating game modes like URF and ARURF, which is why the developers will disable it as soon as Season 14 starts. Fortunately, Arena will return in 2024, and with more teams on the map, it will also greatly improve the quality of life.

League of Legends Season 14 Arena: Release Window and Expectations
Riot Games has not yet confirmed when they are going to officially bring back Arena in Season 14. However, during a very recent roadmap video, Team Lead for Mods, Eduardo “Riot Cadmus” Cortejoso, and Mods Delivery Lead, Selina “Chuchu Trainon” Liu, mentioned that they plan to reintroduce the revamped Arena in the first half of League of Legends Season 14. making
Hence, it is likely that the mode will return sometime before the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) kickoff. This year’s MSI is scheduled to take place between May 1, 2024 and May 19, 2024.
While talking about some of their goals for the mod in 2024, the team said,
“Our goal for the next iteration of Arena is to increase champion diversity, improve game-to-game variation, and encourage more experimentation. One of our favorite parts of Arena is the ability to play some fun and wacky combinations that wouldn’t and probably won’t work in Summoner’s Rift. So we want to encourage it with some targeted changes to gameplay and game balance.
They continued,
“You can also expect new augments, new maps, and some other improvements that we’re still figuring out. Outside of the arena, we’re also bringing back more game modes this year! URF will be back for the Lunar New Year, and then we’ll follow it up with One-For-All.”
The mods team has a lot in store for League of Legends Season 14, and it will be very interesting to see how the new arena plays out once it officially drops.
