How to Change Region in League of Legends: Step-by-Step Guide
League of Legends is a MOBA game developed and published by Riot Games. When you first create an account in League of Legends, it's tied to a specific region or server shard, such as North America (NA), Europe West (EUW), Europe Nordic & East (EUNE), and others.
Every player must choose their main region during account creation, which determines several important factors, including ping, ranked reset timing, available content, and the player base you'll be matched with.
Changing your region means transferring your account to a different server entirely. This moves your profile to new servers, giving you access to that region's matchmaking pool, potentially better ping or latency depending on your location, and the ability to play with friends on that server.
In this article, we'll explore how to change servers in League of Legends, highlighting the costs involved, what transfers over, and what doesn't, and everything you need to know before making the switch.

How to Transfer Your Account to a Different Server
Changing your server in League of Legends is simpler than most people think. The entire process takes just a few minutes and can be completed directly through the game client. Here's how to do it:
Launch League of Legends.
Navigate to the "Store" tab.
Go to the "Account" section (represented by a person icon next to a gear icon).
Select the region you'd like to transfer to.
Click "Continue."
That's it. Once you've clicked continue, you'll need to log out of your account and log back in for the transfer to take effect. Your account will then be active in the new region with all eligible content transferred over. Keep in mind that you can only transfer to a different region once every 90 days.
What Transfers with You (and What Doesn't)
When transferring to a different region, you don't get to keep everything from your original server. Some content and progress will move with you, while other elements reset or disappear entirely. Understanding what carries over before initiating the transfer will help you decide if switching regions is worth it.

How much does the transfer cost?
The transfer costs 2,600 RP for all eligible regions. This amount is deducted from your RP balance before the transfer completes, and any remaining RP will carry over to your new region.
Can I transfer to any region?
No, not all region transfers are possible. Riot Games restricts certain transfer routes between servers, meaning you can't move your account from every region to every other region.
For example, players from Brazil and Vietnam cannot transfer to most other regions. Similarly, if you're on the North America server, you can transfer to regions like EU West, Oceania, and Japan, but not to Brazil or LATAM South.
Can I reverse the transfer?
No, Riot Games cannot reverse accidental transfers. Once you complete the transfer process, your account permanently moves to the new region. Make absolutely sure you want to switch regions before confirming the purchase, as there's no way to undo it or get a refund.
Final Words
Transferring your League of Legends account to a different region costs 2,600 RP and takes just a few minutes to complete. Most of your content and progress carry over, including champions, skins, Blue Essence, and ranked MMR, though you'll lose your current ranked placement and some Clash-related items. Before making the switch, confirm that your desired transfer route is available and remember that transfers are permanent and cannot be reversed.
