Is League of Legends Season 3 the same as the 2026 season?
No. League of Legends Season 3 refers to the 2013 era of League. The 2026 season is the current League calendar around MSI and the LoL Classic reveal.
Historical League context
League Season 3
League of Legends Season 3 was the 2013 era many players associate with old items, rune pages, mastery trees and early competitive League. LoL Classic reports often point back to this period, but Riot still needs to confirm the final Classic ruleset.
What Season 3 means
Old systems, not current League
Season 3 context helps explain why players ask about old rune pages, mastery trees, removed items and older Summoner's Rift. It is different from League's current 2026 season.
