There is no OSRS Leagues season running in November 2026. The most recent one, Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts, ran from 15 April to 11 June 2026, and as of 6 November Jagex has not announced a name or date for a seventh League. Leagues are seasonal, time-limited worlds where everyone starts fresh with boosted experience and unlocks regions and relics by completing tasks, and the points you earn buy permanent cosmetic rewards for the main game. Here is how the mode works, a recap of every League so far, what made Demonic Pacts different, and how to prepare for the next one.
We checked this against the OSRS Wiki's Leagues and Demonic Pacts League pages, the wiki's upcoming updates tracker, and Jagex's RuneFest 2026 and Summer Campfire 2026 posts in November 2026.
How Leagues Work
Leagues are a seasonal variant of Old School RuneScape played on dedicated, time-limited worlds. Every player starts with no stats or items, and nothing you do there affects your main account's progress. Extra rules shape each season, such as area restrictions, trade restrictions and boosted experience rates, and completing League tasks unlocks relics that change how the game plays.
The wiki describes Leagues as running about once a year for eight weeks. Progress does not carry over from one League to the next, with a few exceptions: pets, extra bank slots, league-to-league rewards and the league points you use to buy those rewards. In-game relic points reset each season.
Everyone also competes on dedicated HiScores, and some one-off achievements are recorded as League Firsts, such as the first player to defeat TzKal-Zuk or reach a 99 in that season. Since the Trailblazer Reloaded League, those names have been written on an Info Board beside the Leagues Assistant in the Lumbridge Castle courtyard.
Every League So Far
Six Leagues have run since the mode was introduced, and each changed the formula a little:
- Twisted League, 14 November 2019 to 16 January 2020: restricted to Great Kourend and the Kebos Lowlands, with 5x experience and no trading.
- Trailblazer League, 28 October 2020 to 6 January 2021: started in Misthalin with Karamja next, let players unlock three more of nine areas, and raised the experience multiplier from 5x to 16x.
- Shattered Relics League, 19 January to 16 March 2022: opened the whole map but locked skills and bosses behind points, and split relics into combinable fragments.
- Trailblazer Reloaded League, 15 November 2023 to 10 January 2024: brought back region unlocks, added Kourend and Kebos, and introduced relic tiers 7 and 8.
- Raging Echoes League, 27 November 2024 to 22 January 2025: made region restrictions standard for future Leagues, added Combat Masteries and introduced echo bosses with powerful drops.
- Demonic Pacts League, 15 April to 11 June 2026: themed around Yama, started in Varlamore and replaced Combat Masteries with Demonic Pacts.
The pattern is clear from that list: recent seasons favour region unlocks, high experience multipliers and strong combat boosts, while each one adds a new system to keep returning players interested.
What Made Demonic Pacts Different
Demonic Pacts started players in Yama's Lair with an exit to Civitas illa Fortis, locked to Varlamore, and Misthalin could not be entered at all. Karamja was every player's first unlock, after 80 completed tasks, with further region choices at 200, 300 and 450 tasks for a total of up to three extra areas. Zanaris and the Abyss were reachable from any region.
As in earlier seasons, every player was an Ironman. Experience started at 5x and rose through relic tiers, with a 12x multiplier at tier 4 and 16x at tier 6. Drop rates for eligible items doubled after the first relic and rose to 5x at tier 4, and minigame points started at 4x before reaching 8x. Run energy never drained, farming ticks happened every minute instead of every five, and every clue dropped as a scroll box with progress saved between clues.
Raids got special treatment: Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode, Theatre of Blood Hard Mode and Tombs of Amascut at 500+ had much better drop rates, and the twisted bow, scythe of Vitur and Tumeken's shadow could drop from all three. Echo bosses returned from Raging Echoes, mostly with new or modified drops. Sailing, though newly released, was not part of the League, and no main-game content released during the season was added.
Plenty of smaller rule changes smoothed the early hours. The Leagues Tutor in Yama's Lair handed out a dramen staff, a spade, an impling jar and two strange devices, most shop stock did not run out, and a player-owned house bought during the League was placed in Aldarin. The tutor also sold max capes, and 99 Sailing was not needed for one because the skill was switched off. Bosses whose uniques normally need parts from several regions dropped the finished item instead, so Vorkath dropped Ava's assembler directly, Cerberus dropped eternal boots, and every Desert Treasure II boss could drop all of the soulreaper axe pieces. Wilderness bosses did not need the medium Wilderness Diary, and Zulrah had no damage cap. These tweaks are a good guide to what Jagex considers friction worth removing in a short season, and similar changes are likely in future Leagues, although nothing about the next one has been confirmed.
Because every League character is an Ironman, the skills from our Ironman guide, especially planning supplies without trading, transfer directly. Some quests and diary tasks were completed automatically too, including Rune Mysteries and Druidic Ritual.
Tasks, Points and Trophies
Tasks were the engine of the Demonic Pacts League. They came in five difficulties, Easy, Medium, Hard, Elite and Master, and ranged from area-specific jobs like defeating Amoxliatl or completing ten Hunters' Rumours to general tasks such as chopping logs or burying bones. Each region offered roughly the same number of points.
Your final point total set your trophy. The thresholds were fixed rather than based on rank: 2,000 points for bronze, 4,000 for iron, 10,000 for steel, 22,000 for mithril, 32,000 for adamant, 47,500 for rune and 65,000 for dragon. Trophies are free to claim and untradeable; bronze to mithril go in the shield slot, while adamant to dragon are two-handed and come with a unique emote.
Combat Achievement rewards also work inside Leagues and are claimed from the Leagues Tutor instead of the Warriors' Guild, which our Combat Achievements guide explains. High-end goals like an Inferno run are common League Firsts, and our Infernal cape guide covers how that fight works in the main game.
Rewards That Last
After a League ends, your league points can be spent at the Leagues Reward Shop on cosmetic rewards for the main game. Points from every League you have played are combined, and rewards from all past seasons stay available, so a strong season can fund items you missed years ago.
Trophies are the exception. They are awarded based on your final standing and cannot be obtained once the season is over, which the wiki notes makes them feel like discontinued items. Jagex has said it is open to solutions, including making main-game rewards available to everyone if Leagues stop running, but re-hosting old Leagues for another shot at trophies is not currently being considered.
Some rewards carry into the next League instead. Pets obtained in a League are automatically insured and can be reclaimed from the Leagues Tutor, pets from past Leagues were unlocked automatically in Demonic Pacts, and players ranked at least bronze in the previous League got access to veteran worlds.
When Is the Next League?
As of 6 November 2026, no seventh League has been announced. We looked for one in Jagex's RuneFest 2026 post from 3 October, its Summer Campfire 2026 post from 29 May, and the wiki's upcoming updates page, and none of them names or dates a new season. November 2026 is set aside as Quest Month, with The Graveyard and other new quests on the schedule.
Past start dates have moved around, from October and November in most years to January for Shattered Relics and April for Demonic Pacts, so there is no fixed slot to count on. When a new season is announced, expect it to need membership, since Demonic Pacts was open to all members. If you plan to pay with gold, our bond price guide shows what eight weeks of membership costs.
In the meantime, the best preparation is general game knowledge: knowing quest unlocks, boss mechanics and efficient routes pays off whenever a new League opens, because everyone starts from zero.
Between Leagues
Leagues reset everyone to zero, but your main account does not. Players who want a more advanced main sometimes browse the account listings on our Old School RuneScape page, which change daily.
Weigh that against Jagex's rules, which reserve each account for the person who registered it, prohibit transferring, lending or sharing it, and say Jagex has not authorized the sale of any account. League progress itself always starts fresh for everyone, which is a big part of its appeal.
