Harry Styles and League of Legends: Inside the Unusual Fan Battle

The clash between Harry Styles fans and League of Legends enthusiasts has emerged as one of the most unexpected fan battles of 2026. This unusual rivalry is not just about music versus gaming; it’s about territory, promotion, and passionate fan bases. Here’s a closer look at this modern fan war.

Harry Styles and League of Legends: The Conflict

Harry Styles is set to release his fourth solo album, titled “Kiss All the Time, Disco, Occasionally,” in 2026. The promotional phase for the album has begun, featuring posters across major cities. However, fans of Styles were caught off guard when League of Legends advertisements began to overlap these posters.

Background of the Dispute

The slogan “We Belong Together” was used for Styles’ new album promotion. Unfortunately, this slogan was overshadowed in New York City when League of Legends promotions for its 2026 season encased the Harry Styles posters. This incident sparked discontent among Styles’ fans, who felt their artist was being overshadowed.

A TikTok video posted by a young fan showcased the defaced posters and highlighted the efforts by Styles fans to reclaim their space. As the situation escalated, it even caught the attention of Riot Games officials, who humorously referenced the rivalry. Drew Levin, a representative from the company, dubbed it the “ongoing gang war between Harry Styles fans and Demacia fans.”

One-Sided Beef?

Some critics have suggested that the conflict is somewhat unbalanced. Many League of Legends fans have reportedly shown indifference towards the controversy, viewing it as merely amusing. Despite the efforts from Styles’ supporters, the gaming community’s lack of interest implied that their focus remains on the game itself rather than on the poster dispute.
