Riot Games is introducing optional League of Legends parental controls for League of Legends, VALORANT, and Teamfight Tactics PC in the United States. Parents who enable the tools can limit chat, manage friend requests, and review the friends linked to a child’s account through a new Parent Portal.
The company said the controls are available only when a parent enters an email address in the account management tab while logged into the child’s account. Once that step is complete, an email walks the parent through creating and accessing the Parent Portal.
Parent Portal on Riot PC
Riot Games said the new system gives parents three core options: text and voice chat can be limited to friends only, friend requests can be blocked in both directions, and the parent can see the friends connected to the child’s account. Those tools are tied to a parent-managed account setup for children under 18.
The company chose the three games because they represent some of its largest and most socially interactive communities. That makes the rollout narrower than a companywide switch, but it also means the first release reaches the games where chat and friend features are most central to play.
Parents do not need to wait for a separate setup page. Riot Games said the process starts inside the child’s account management tab, then continues by email. That means the parent’s access depends on the account holder entering the parent email in the correct field before the Portal can be used.
VALORANT and Teamfight Tactics PC
The same controls apply across League of Legends, VALORANT, and Teamfight Tactics PC in the United States. Riot Games said it is using the launch to extend Parent Permissions in stages rather than turning every feature on at once.
The company also said the games already include safety measures, but some parents still want more visibility into how their children use online features. That is the gap the new tools are meant to fill: not a replacement for existing protections, but a separate layer of account-level control for families that want it.
Riot Games said it plans to keep expanding Parent Permissions over time and is actively working on additional parental control features. For parents using these PC games now, the immediate takeaway is simple: the new controls exist, but they have to be switched on through the child’s account before they change chat or friend settings.
TFT Mobile in the future
Riot Games said it also plans to bring Parent Permissions to TFT Mobile in the future, with a goal of early 2027. For now, the rollout stops with the 3 PC games in the United States, and families using those accounts can begin with the Parent Portal if they want the added controls.
