Student events are also being held for the first time at the Universities of Oxford, Northampton, and Roehampton.

What is Riot Play Club?

Riot Play Club is a regular in-person meetup for Riot Games fans to connect, compete, and have fun at local venues around your favourite game. Expect 1v1 challenges, themed quizzes, scavenger hunts as well as custom matches of Swiftplay and Deathmatch with the chance to win exclusive swag.

Each event is open to all skill levels so bring your squad, or meet new players, and share your best plays with fellow fans in your area. Every club is a bit different depending on the venue and we’ll have new swag drops throughout the year so there’s always something to play for.

If you’re more into the esports side of the game then keep an eye on venue socials as we’ll be hosting watch parties throughout the year for VCT EMEA, Masters and also Champions in Paris!

If you’re interested in becoming a bigger part of Riot Play Club, talk to your local venue staff. We’re always looking for passionate players to run activities locally. It could be a coaching session on your favourite agent, a quiz based around your favourite esports team or a workshop on how you created your favourite cosplay.

New Venues

We’re looking to expand our Riot Play Clubs out across Northern Europe and will have more venues to announce in the next few months.
