End date	2017-02-27 21:00:00 UTC

Tears in the fabric of reality have formed throughout Wraeclast. Engage them to expose an alternate realm and reveal those who dwell there. Slay monsters inside the Breach to keep it open long enough to reap your bounty.

Description on the official Path of Exile website

The Breach league and Hardcore Breach league started on {{#show: Breach league|?Has release date}} and are the two current challenge leagues.

In this league, there are breaches that appear in zones. Approaching a breach opens a parallel realm containing otherworldly monsters. The breach continues to expand as more breach monsters are killed until it eventually collapses. Splinters drop from within the breach, which can be combined into a Breachstone to challenge the Breachlord in their realm.

All characters and stashes will be moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues end. Characters that die in the Hardcore Breach league will immediately be moved to the permanent Standard league.
