League of Legends players waiting for Team Voice Chat may have to wait longer. According to LeagueOfLeaks, the launch has been delayed, with no replacement date set for now.
The feature was originally scheduled to begin rolling out in North America and Oceania with Patch 26.20, making this a setback for players hoping to communicate with their entire team.
In brief:
- LeagueOfLeaks reports that Team Voice Chat has been delayed.
- No new release date has been provided in the report.
- Riot previously announced an initial launch in NA and Oceania with Patch 26.20.
- Team Voice is designed to expand voice communication beyond premade parties.
League of Legends Team Voice Chat Delay Reported
LeagueOfLeaks shared the update on X, stating that the planned launch has been pushed back. The report leaves the next release window open, so players currently have no revised patch to mark on their calendars.
The delay should be treated as a report rather than a confirmed Riot announcement. It also does not establish why the schedule has changed or suggest that Team Voice has been canceled.
In its September 8 developer update, Riot outlined plans to let players speak with everyone on their team, expanding the existing system beyond premade groups.
North America and Oceania were set to receive the feature first in Patch 26.20. Further regional expansion would depend on how the initial rollout performed.
Riot also outlined better noise cancellation, faster connections, and improved stability. Speaking access would be tied to Honor level, with moderation support playing a key role in deciding where the feature could launch.
When Will LoL Team Voice Chat Release?
There is no revised release date in the latest report. Until Riot clarifies the schedule, players should treat the original Patch 26.20 target as uncertain.
