How to Get Into League of Legends Public Beta Environment

Navigate to the PBE signup page, log in with your Riot Games account, check eligibility, and begin the registration process for exclusive access to LoL's PBE.

The PBE is a server where upcoming changes are first introduced before they hit the live servers. Players on the PBE are the first to experience new champions, gameplay adjustments, balance changes, visual updates, and more. the PBE is only available one weekend per patch, meaning it is operational every other weekend. Thus, players will only be able to log in on the days it's available. This selective availability allows Riot Games to test new content and gather player feedback in a controlled and manageable way, which is crucial to their development process.

Eligibility Requirements

In order to qualify for a PBE account, there are certain criteria that players must meet:

  1. Honorable Player: You must have an honor level of 2 or above on your LoL account. Riot Games wants to ensure that the PBE community is made up of players who respect the rules and promote a positive gaming environment.
  2. Account in Good Standing: Your account should not have any current bans or severe infractions. If you have a history of disruptive behavior, you might not be eligible for PBE.
  3. Valid Email Address: A valid email address linked to your LoL account is a must.

It's important to remember that PBE accounts are tied to your main account. So, if your main account falls below honor level 2 or incurs any penalties, you may lose access to PBE.
