If you have been sitting on a large stash of Blue Essence, you will soon have a reason to spend it. The Blue Essence Emporium returns on May 13 for its first appearance of 2026, giving you access to limited-time rewards in exchange for your saved currency.
This event lets you trade your Blue Essence for a range of cosmetic items and other in-game content. If you have built up more BE than you can use on champions, the Emporium offers a practical way to put it to use.
Upcoming Blue Essence Emporium Schedule in League of Legends
You can access the first Blue Essence Emporium of 2026 starting on May 13, 2026, as confirmed in the April developer update.
One week earlier, Your Shop goes live, giving you a short window to plan your Blue Essence spending before the Emporium opens.
What to Expect in the May 2026 Blue Essence Emporium
When the Blue Essence Emporium launches on May 13, 2026, alongside Patch 26.10, you can exchange your stored BE for a wide range of cosmetic content. The selection typically mirrors previous runs, with some additions depending on what you already own.
You can expect chromas to return as a core feature. Standard chromas released up to around mid‑2025 should cost 2,000 BE, while eligible Partner Program chromas are usually priced at 10,000 BE.
Several emotes are also likely to appear at different price tiers:
- “Ok, Take It” – 1 BE
- “But Why?” – 25,000 BE
- “Make it Rain” – 50,000 BE
- “Money Bags” – 75,000 BE
Icons and ward skins traditionally fill out the shop. You may see options such as:
| Item | Cost (BE) |
|---|---|
| Mystery Icon | 1,500 |
| Regional Mystery Mini Icon Box | 2,500 |
| Baron Hat Poro Icon | 4,000 |
| Mystery Ward Skin | 4,900 |
| Essence Collector Ward Skin | 6,000 |
Higher‑cost prestige items often return as well. These typically include the Urfwick skin (150,000 BE), exclusive banners, and special titles priced at 250,000 BE. Discounted XP boosts (50% off) are also commonly available.
The exact inventory depends on your account ownership, so check the in‑client Emporium tab to see what appears for you.
