<jupyter_start><jupyter_text>List available backendsThis guide shows you how to list all the backends available to you. Before you beginThroughout this guide, we will assume that you have [setup the Qiskit Runtime service instance](../getting_started.rst)  and initialize it as `service`:<jupyter_code>from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService

service = QiskitRuntimeService()<jupyter_output><empty_output><jupyter_text>StepsYou can see the list of available backends by calling ``QiskitRuntimeService.backends()`` :<jupyter_code>service.backends()<jupyter_output><empty_output>
