Teamfight Tactics’ Pride missions will launch on the same patch as League of Legends, patch 25.11, which is referred to as patch 14.5 (the fifth patch of the fourteenth set, Cyber City) in TFT.

These missions will become active two days after the patch release and will be available until June 30, 2025.

TFT players can earn rewards, including the Little Legend Arcade QiQi and a new emote, QiQi Strut, in addition to the return of beloved Pride content from previous years.

While Little Legends aren’t always a part of the annual celebration, the TFT team specifically wanted to introduce something unique for 2025 that differs from their past Pride offerings.

Arcade QiQi and the other Pride-themed content in Teamfight Tactics will be obtainable through the following missions:
