Four rotating modes are live in League of Legends right now: ARAM: Mayhem, Arena, League Classic and Ranked 5s. None of them has an end date yet.

ARAM with Augments: you pick one at the start and another at levels 3, 7, 11 and 15, and you can only choose them while you're dead.

“You’ll have another chance to earn Ranked 5s rewards after this September through December run.” Riot dev update, Sep 8, 2026
Riot says this run lasts through December but hasn't given an end date.
Coming next: Riot hasn't announced another rotating mode in any patch notes, support article or dev update through September 26, 2026, and the PBE game files don't have a new mode queue either.
20 runs of rotating modes, newest first. It also keeps the 2023 run of Nexus Blitz, the most recent for that mode.
A date with a patch beside it is the day that patch went live, because Riot tied the run to the patch rather than to a calendar day.
ARAM with Augments: you pick one at the start and another at levels 3, 7, 11 and 15, and you can only choose them while you're dead.

Start and end dates are Riot's, from the patch notes and the Events articles on Riot's support site, and each row links the page it came from. When Riot only named a patch, the date is that patch's release day. The artwork is each mode's own, from the game client's files. The game-files lines under each mode come from the client's own queue list, patch by patch back to 14.1. Live patch: 26.19. Summoner's Rift, ARAM and Swiftplay never leave the client, so they aren't listed.
