    True Damage are the artists for the 2026 League of Legends World Championship as their comeback is confirmed with Know My Name, releasing Oct. 8, 2026. Here's what we know.

    True Damage comeback – Know My Name

    Know My Name will be True Damage's comeback track, available now for pre-saving through this link. As confirmed by the official Riot Games Music account, this is the Worlds 2026 anthem.

    This comes seven years after their debut single, GIANTS, which was the anthem for Worlds 2019.

    The reveal featured all five original members: Ekko, Akali, Qiyana, Senna, and Yasuo. It was framed as a livestream courtesy of Ekko, and the post itself was captioned as "a small update from your Worlds artists."

    There is no confirmation whether the artists from 2019 will reprise their roles for the comeback. For reference, the following artists were involved:

    Akali – Jeon Soyeon of I-dle

    Ekko – Thutmose and Duckwrth

    This picks up immediately after the short teaser we got with HEARTSTEEL Yone talking to Yasuo on the phone.

    With True Damage as the Worlds artists, this poses the question of where K/DA is. We already saw the new Firestarter designs with the leak a few weeks ago, and that their track is most likely named "Start A Fire."

    Here, we invoke Occam's razor: the simplest answer is most often the correct one. K/DA will most likely have a standalone comeback that isn't tied to Worlds. This was the case with Pentakill III in 2019 (that year, Burn It All Down was the Worlds anthem)

    This also means that K/DA's comeback not be the Worlds anthem, marking the first time in three years that the anthem is not premiered the day before Worlds starts.

    In recent years, the Worlds anthem gets released the day before Worlds starts. This was the case with Sacrifice for Worlds 2025 and Heavy is the Crown for Worlds 2024. GODS premiered six days before Worlds 2023.

    The real losers here are Pentakill, given that we haven't heard anything regarding the metal band.

    True Damage's Know My Name releases on Oct. 8. Worlds 2026 begins Oct. 15, 2026.
