One of the defining features of League of Legends is its ever-expanding champion roster. With 168 champions currently available, each boasting unique abilities, Riot Games continues to captivate players with fresh additions every year.

In 2024, Riot introduced three new champions to the game: Smolder, Aurora, and Ambessa.

The release of Ambessa marked the final champion of 2024, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what Riot has in store for the upcoming year. Traditionally, Riot provides insight into new champions through the Champion Roadmap at the start of each year. But thanks to recent leaks, players are already getting an early glimpse into the champions coming in 2025.

Season 2025 Champions Leaked

The first champion of 2025 is heavily rumored to be Mel Medarda.

Following the conclusion of Arcane Season 2, Riot teased Noxus playing a significant role in the ongoing League of Legends narrative. Additionally, the first split of 2025 is confirmed to have a Noxus-themed focus. Mel Medarda, a prominent character from Arcane and recently added to TFT, is now a leading contender for the next champion, according to reliable leaker Big Bad Bear.

The other two champions, according to leaks, will hail from the Demacia region. Riot recently announced that each season in 2025 will feature a distinct theme, impacting not just champion releases but also skins and other content.

Split 2 of 2025 is expected to spotlight Demacia, making Demacian champions a fitting choice.
