How to check League of Legends server status
Sometimes, League of Legends servers undergo maintenance, making players unable to join the servers. However, at the time of writing, the League of Legends servers are active and running. That doesn’t mean they won’t go down in the future. If you are having any issues connecting to the servers of League of Legends, you can check the server status in the following ways.

Visit this website and click on the League of Legends icon. This will take you to the League of Legends Service Status page. On this page, select the name of the server that you have inquiries about from the dropdown menu. This will give you a detailed notice if the selected server is down.
