If you’re new to League of Legends: Wild Rift, you’ll need to create an account before you can start playing. Fortunately, creating a new account only takes a few minutes.
On Android, you can sign up using a Riot Account, Google account, or Facebook account. Depending on your device and region, other sign-in options such as Sign in with Apple may also be available on iOS.
This guide will walk you through each method so you can get into your first match as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Riot Account required to play Wild Rift?
No. Depending on your platform and region, you can also sign in using Google, Facebook, or Apple. However, Riot recommends using a Riot Account because it’s easier to manage and works across Riot’s games.
Can I use my old Garena account?
No. Garena no longer publishes Riot’s games in Southeast Asia, so Garena accounts can’t be used to create or log into new Wild Rift accounts.
Can I change my in-game name later?
Yes. You can change your Riot ID later by following Riot’s current account policies.
Can I have multiple Wild Rift accounts?
Yes. You can create multiple accounts and switch between them by signing out and logging back into another account.
