Riot Games makes games like Valorant, League of Legends, and Teamfight Tactics. To play these games, you need a Riot account. Your username is your name online in the Riot world. If you want to start fresh, made a mistake when you signed up, or want a fun new name, changing your Riot account username is easy. Here’s a simple guide to help you do it.
First, open your web browser and go to the Riot account page at account.riotgames.com.
Next, log in with your current username and password. If you have two-factor authentication on, follow the steps to verify it.
Once you’re logged in, you will see many options for your account.
Here are the steps to follow:
Go to the Account Details part.
Find the Riot Account Username area.
Before you change your username, check if the new name you want is free. Riot does not let two users have the same username, so think of a few backups just in case.
You can mix letters, numbers, and symbols if your first choice is taken.
Keep it simple and easy to remember for easy login.
Look at the Account Details page again to make sure your username is now updated.
Log out, then log back in using your new username to check if the change worked.
One-Time Change Rule: Riot lets you change your username only a few times. Be sure you want the new name before you change it.
Global Riot Account: If you play in different regions, your username change works across all Riot games and areas linked to your account.
Do I have to pay to change my username?
No, it does not cost anything to change your username. But you might face limits if you change it too often.
Check Availability: Make sure the username you want is not already taken.
Internet Connection: A slow connection might stop changes from being saved.
Contact Riot Support: If you have trouble, reach out to Riot’s support team for help.
