When Does League of Legends Season 13 Start?
League of Legends Preseason 2023 started in mid-November, but will end next week to make room for the beginning of Season 13. The preseason patch included numerous changes to Summoner's Rift, including an updated Chemtech Dragon and changes to the jungle. There has also been a lot of new items featured throughout the League of Legends preseason, which have led to another tank meta.
Despite these new updates to the game, a majority of the player base is ready to move on and begin the new season.

When Does League of Legends Season 13 Start?
Much like previous years, the new League of Legends season usually begins within a couple weeks of a new year. Yesterday, Riot Games developer, Riot Brightmoon, tweeted that League of Legends Season 13 will start on Jan. 10.
1) Season 2023 starts on Jan 10! 2) Can't wait for you all to meet more of the dev team next week in the Season Start 2023 videos!! We have more of the team on cam to speak about their areas of focus than ever before so please give them a warm welcome.

The most recent patch was released nearly a month ago, and a majority of the champion buffs were given to tanks. That patch led to a tank focused meta and the gap between patches has been felt by the entire player base. The new season will bring another patch that will help balance the game by giving players different champions to select and different items to build.
With less than a week of preseason remaining, everyone can celebrate the beginning of another season in League of Legends.
