For years, League of Legends clubs offered players a way to form in-game communities, share tags, and organize play sessions. But since Riot Games phased out official club support in 2020, the system has become more limited, leaving many players wondering how to manage—or even delete—their old clubs.
The short answer: there is no direct “delete” button for clubs in League of Legends. Instead, the process involves leaving the club or transferring ownership until the group effectively disbands.
How to Disband or Delete a Club
If your region still supports clubs in some form, here’s how the process works:
- Access your club page in the League client.
- For owners: you cannot leave a club while you’re still the leader. To exit, you must first transfer ownership to another member. Once a new leader is chosen, you can leave.
- For members: click the cog icon in the club interface and select “Leave.” This removes your membership and club tag immediately.
- Disbanding a club: if every member eventually leaves—or if there is no remaining owner—the club becomes inactive. In practice, this is the only way to “delete” a club entirely.
This system reflects Riot’s decision to stop supporting robust management tools for clubs, leaving only barebones functionality in some regions.
Riot’s Sunsetting of Clubs
In 2020, Riot announced that it would retire the clubs feature across most servers.
The reason was twofold:
- Clubs had become technically outdated, requiring significant upkeep.
- Riot wanted to consolidate social tools under the new Riot Client, Discord-style features, and official community platforms.
Since then, players can no longer create new clubs, and existing ones persist only in limited forms. For many, this means their old club tags are more of a legacy feature than an active social hub.
What It Means for Players
Today, players hoping to “delete” a club need to manage it manually:
- Transfer ownership if you’re the leader.
- Leave the club if you’re a member.
- Encourage others to do the same if you want the club to fully vanish.
Once empty or ownerless, the club is essentially gone. While it’s not as simple as hitting a “delete” button, this method ensures groups can still be dissolved when no longer wanted.
Final Thoughts
League of Legends clubs are, for the most part, a relic of the game’s past. While once a central community tool, they’ve now been overshadowed by Riot’s broader client integration and external platforms like Discord.
For players still tied to old clubs, deletion comes down to attrition: when members leave and leadership transfers, the group dissolves. It may not be elegant, but it’s the only way to close the chapter on League’s club era.
