Riot Games has announced that the VALORANT Night Market will return for its 32nd edition from February 5th to March 2nd

During this period, players will be able to purchase weapon skins they might have missed earlier at discounted prices.

These discounts range from 10% to 49%, making some expensive cosmetics in VALORANT, which cannot be resold, cheaper.

While the Night Market is active, players can head to its section through on the card icon next to the in-game settings button. They will then be presented with six undisclosed cards, which can be flipped to reveal the skins hidden behind them.

Each player will get a unique set of weapon skins, and there will be no option to re-roll as well. While every user is guaranteed at least two Premium-tier or higher skins, the downside is that all of the skins offered during the event will be at least two Acts old.

This is done to keep the cost fair for players who purchased them at full price. Moreover, each card will be associated with one of the following colours, representing the tier of the weapon skin behind it:

  • Blue Card: Select Tier
  • Green Card: Deluxe Tier
  • Purple Card: Premium Tier
  • Yellow Card: Melee

That said, none of the Battle Pass skins will be part of the Night Market, along with the other in-game items such as sprays, gun buddies, playercards, and more.

Will the VALORANT Champions Bundle or Team Capsules Be Included?

Since both the VALORANT Champions Bundle and Team Capsules are exclusive skins, they have always been excluded from the Night Market. 

The most recent Champions Bundle was removed from the in-game store on October 9th; however, players can purchase the 2026 VCT Team Capsules for 2320 VP.

Similarly, the Arcane Sheriff will not return to VALORANT by any means, including the Night Market or the daily store rotation.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
