If you searched this question hoping for a date to mark on your calendar, here’s the short version: you can stop waiting. The T1 Worlds 2025 skins went live on 15 July 2026 with patch 26.14. They’re in the shop right now, but not for much longer.
Quick Answer: T1 Skin Release Date
Riot confirmed that T1 Galio, T1 Xin Zhao, T1 Seraphine, T1 Ambessa, T1 Yunara, MVP T1 Miss Fortune, and Victorious Rengar would arrive on July 15, 2026.
If you were hoping for an early-2026 drop, that never happened. Skins like these usually take most of a year to arrive. This batch landed about eight months after the final, which is the usual gap.
Why Did These Skins Exist in the First Place?
T1 won the 2025 World Championship, and Riot makes skins for the winning roster. T1 beat KT Rolster 3-2 on 9 November 2025 for a third straight title. That made them the first team in the game’s history to win three in a row, which is why this release got so much attention.
Which Champions Got a T1 Skin?
The Full Skin Lineup
Each player picked a champion they actually used on the Worlds stage. Doran got Ambessa, Oner got Xin Zhao, Faker got Galio, Keria got Seraphine, and Gumayusi got both Yunara and MVP Miss Fortune. Gumayusi has two because he took Finals MVP.
Faker’s Galio
This one is special for fans. The Galio skin is Faker’s sixth Worlds championship skin, extending his record as the most decorated player in League history.
What Is the Theme?
The collection mixes wing motifs, ascension imagery, and ornate details to show T1’s rise from elite competitors to legendary champions. Think gold, white, and a very “we’ve done this before and we’re not even sweating” energy.
Gumayusi’s Little Details
Riot packed in personal touches. There’s a Baron doll that nods to a Baron steal, and a recall animation recreating moments with Kalista spears, Ashe arrows, and Ziggs bombs. Longtime fans will spot a lot of these.
How Much Do the T1 Skins Cost?
Standard Prices
T1 Ambessa, Xin Zhao, Galio, Yunara, and Seraphine each cost 1350 RP, while MVP T1 Miss Fortune costs 1820 RP. If you want the whole set including the MVP skin, that adds up quickly, so plan your RP in advance.
Signature Edition
The Signature Edition is the premium version. The Signature Bundles include the skin, a signature icon and border, a ward skin, an Elite chroma, and an exclusive emote. They cost 3200 RP per skin.
How Long Can You Still Buy Them?
This is the part most players miss, so read it carefully.
Signature Editions Are Already Gone
The Signature Editions were only available for two patches and left the shop with patch 26.16, around 12 August. If you didn’t grab one, that window has closed.
Regular Skins Are Leaving Soon
Individual skins stay in the shop until the start of patch 26.23. Based on the patch schedule, that should be around 18 November 2026. Today is 1 October, so you have roughly six weeks. Schedules can shift, so double-check in the client.
What Happens After That?
From the first patch of 2027, these skins will only be available through the Loot pool. That means hoping for a lucky drop or paying more for it later. If you want a skin, buying it now is the cheaper and safer route.
Does Buying These Skins Support T1?
Yes, partly. A portion of the proceeds is shared with the LoL esports teams. So it’s a skin you like and a small way to back the roster at the same time.
Should You Buy a T1 Skin?
I’d say it depends on how you play.
Buy Now If
- You main one of these champions, especially Galio or Miss Fortune.
- You collect Worlds skins and don’t want a gap in your set.
- You’d rather pay RP now than gamble on loot later.
Skip If
- You never play any of the champions involved.
- You’re saving RP for another event or a different skin line.
Final Thoughts
The wait is over. The T1 Worlds 2025 skins arrived in July 2026, the Signature Editions are gone, and the regular versions have only a few weeks left before they move to the Loot pool. Check your RP balance, decide which champion you actually play, and don’t leave it until the last patch.
