Set 17 is the current competitive set in TFT, and its run ends on 26 August 2026 — the day Set 18 goes live with patch 18.1. This page is the permanent set tracker: Riot's confirmed dates, exactly what the between-set reset does to your rank (a full wipe of the ladder, not a soft nudge), and how the re-climb works — updated every set, with every claim sourced.

Set 17 dates
Set 17 launched with patch 17.1 on 15 April 2026 and ends on 26 August 2026, the day Set 18 goes live with patch 18.1. In TFT a set ends when the next one ships, so those are the same date: there is no dead window between them, and no extra ranked time on Set 17 afterwards. Riot published the day, not a time of day, and patch days roll out region by region — so plan your last games around 26 August itself rather than around a clock.
What happens to your rank at a new set
TFT runs a full ladder reset at every set rollover. When Set 18 opens on 26 August, every player re-places somewhere between Iron II and Silver IV — from last set's Iron players to its Challengers — and where you land inside that band depends on the rank you finish Set 17 with. This is not a soft adjustment: the badge you wear today does not survive the rollover.
You then play 5 provisional matches. During those five, a bottom-four finish costs you no LP and a top-four finish awards extra LP, so the provisionals can only move you up. The same reset applies to both ranked queues — Standard and Double Up.
Before the tick: what to do at set's end
Your Set 17 rank is not just a badge you lose on 26 August: it decides where inside the Iron II–Silver IV band you re-place. That keeps the run-in worth playing — every tier you gain before 26 August 2026 is a shorter climb back on the other side. If you're a tier short of the finish you want with the date closing in, that's the classic moment players hand the lobby to a professional booster — a confirmed date doesn't negotiate.
After the tick: provisionals and the climb back
When Set 18 opens on 26 August, your 5 provisionals are the cheapest LP you'll ever play for: bottom-four finishes cost nothing and top-four finishes pay extra, so there's no reason to play it safe. After that the normal ladder rules are back, and the way from the Iron II–Silver IV band to your old badge is a long run of games on a brand-new set, with unfamiliar units and comps to learn. The calculator above gives a range for your exact from→to, and the boost option shows a real price and ETA if you'd rather start Set 18 where you left off.
Set history
TFT's competitive calendar runs set by set, and one set ends where the next begins. Set 17 ran from 15 April 2026 (patch 17.1) to 26 August 2026 — just over four months — and Set 18 opens on 26 August 2026 with patch 18.1, carrying the full reset described above. We log each set's confirmed dates here as they close, so this page doubles as the ladder's historical record.
Frequently asked questions
On 26 August 2026 — the day Set 18 goes live with patch 18.1. A TFT set ends when the next one ships, so that date is confirmed, not projected. Riot published the day and not a time of day, and patch days roll out region by region.
Yes. Every set rollover is a full ladder reset: each player re-places somewhere between Iron II and Silver IV, based on the rank they finished the previous set with, then plays 5 provisional matches. It applies to both ranked queues, Standard and Double Up.
The reset Riot documents is the one at the set rollover — it lands when Set 18 ships on 26 August 2026. Mid-set patches bring balance changes and content; the ladder wipe itself is tied to the set boundary.
No. Set 18 goes live with patch 18.1 on 26 August 2026, which is exactly when Set 17's run ends — the new set replaces the old one on the same day, so there is no dead ranked window in between.
Longer than in soft-reset games, because everyone restarts from the Iron II–Silver IV band and the first 5 games are provisionals. Past those, it depends on the badge you're chasing and how fast you read a brand-new set. The calculator on this page estimates your exact from→to, next to the boosted alternative's real price and ETA.
