Riot Games has announced the return of the VALORANT Night Market, with its latest edition scheduled to run from December 11th to January 6th.

During the event, players will be able to purchase weapon skins at discounts, ranging from 10% to 49%.

To access the Night Market, players simply need to click the card icon that appears next to the in-game settings button. Players will then be presented with six cards that can be revealed individually, each offering a different weapon skin.

Blue cards represent Select-tier skins, while Green and Purple cards correspond to Deluxe and Premium tiers, respectively. Each player is guaranteed at least two Premium-tier or higher skins, and Yellow cards are associated with melee weapons.

In addition to this, Night Market will only include skins that are at least two Acts old. This means, during an Act 3 Night Market, players will not receive cosmetics released in Act 1 or later.

Moreover, Battle Pass items, gear skins, and melee weapons priced above 3,550 VP are also excluded from the event.

Will VALORANT Champions Skins or Team Capsules Be Included in the Night Market?

No — both the Champions Bundle and VCT Team Capsule skins will be excluded from the Night Market.

The 2025 Champions Bundle was permanently removed from the store on October 9th, while the VCT Team Capsules exited VALORANT’s in-game store on October 30th.

Hence, players will have to wait for the 2026 VCT season to grab the latest editions, as they will also not appear in the daily store rotation.

While the Team Capsules are expected to return in January 2026, the Champions Bundle will be released about a week before VALORANT Champions Shanghai begins on September 24th.

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.
