Want to change your in-game name in League of Legends: Wild Rift? The good news is that it’s quick and easy. Your in-game name is tied to your Riot ID, which you can update through your Riot Account settings.
Follow the steps below to change your Wild Rift name.
Before You Start
Before changing your name, keep these things in mind:
- Your Wild Rift in-game name is your Riot ID.
- You’ll need access to the Riot Account used to play Wild Rift.
- Riot only allows you to change your Riot ID periodically, so choose your new name carefully.
Step 1: Sign In to Your Riot Account
Open your web browser and go to the Riot Account Management page.
Sign in using the same Riot Account you use for Wild Rift. Depending on how your account was created, you may sign in with:
- Riot Account
- Apple ID (if supported)

Step 2: Open the Riot ID Settings
After signing in, navigate to the Riot ID section of your account settings.
Here you’ll see your current Riot ID, which consists of:
- Game Name (your displayed name)
- Tagline (the characters after the # symbol)

Step 3: Change Your Riot ID
Click the Edit button next to your Riot ID.
Enter your preferred:
- New Game Name
- New Tagline (if you want to change it)
When you’re finished, save your changes.
If your chosen name is unavailable, you’ll need to choose a different one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Riot ID the same as my in-game name?
Yes. Your Riot ID is the name that other players see in Wild Rift and most other Riot Games titles.
Can I change my Wild Rift name for free?
Yes. Riot allows players to change their Riot ID for free according to its current Riot ID policy. If you’ve recently changed your Riot ID, you’ll need to wait until you’re eligible to change it again.
Will changing my Riot ID affect my game progress?
No. Changing your Riot ID only updates your displayed name. Your account level, champions, skins, rank, and other progress remain unchanged.
Can I use the same Riot ID as someone else?
Yes. Riot IDs are identified using both the Game Name and Tagline, allowing multiple players to have the same Game Name as long as their full Riot ID is unique.
