Riot’s official VALORANT Esports roadmap sets out a tournament-first VCT 2027 with more than 50 tournaments across 15 cities. The season is built around Opens, Kickoff, Cups, Masters and Champions, with multiple open-qualification routes for teams outside the partner program. Kickoff Qualifiers are scheduled to begin in November 2026, and advancement after Kickoff is intended to depend on competitive performance. Riot also says Game Changers will conclude at Champions and that a new esports bundle will feature the Ghost instead of the Classic. Regional formats and schedules may vary, so teams should follow Riot’s official VCT calendar and qualification announcements for current details.
