The quickest fix for the “Unable to Connect to Login Queue” in League is restarting your router and PC. Though this error is tied to Riot’s servers, there’s a possibility that it might appear due to connection problems on your end. A simple modem reboot and a PC reset will be enough to cover your side. If the problem persists, you should check League’s server status.

In cases where League’s servers are down, you’ll need to wait for them to come back online before you can start playing the game again. Such errors can also appear in other Riot titles like Teamfight Tactics and VALORANT.

While discussing the “Unable to Connect to the Login Queue error on Teamfight Tactics’ Reddit community, a fan pitched an alternative solution that seemed to work for others. Changing your Riot account password might also fix “Unable to Connect to Login Queue” in League and TFT.


For the worst case scenario, you might need to open a support ticket regarding this error, but it should also resolve itself by that point.
