Every year, League of Legends cycles through a season, this keeps the MOBA's content fresh and updated.
Brand-new seasons give players several reasons to play. Be it events that pop up across the year, the significant balance changes every two to three weeks, or the new skins that get added, each season is filled to the brim with content. But prior to a new season officially beginning, players get to participate in what is called a "preseason."
As expected with its name, it's a place in time where no season is actively ongoing, instead, here, players can use it to learn or get used to the season's changes and adjustments.
That begs the question - When does the League of Legends 2023 Preseason End?
