VALORANT Champions betting guide

VALORANT Champions

Betting on VALORANT Champions, which will run from September 12 through October 5, will open in the weeks before the event, with most esports betting sites having markets on the outright winner, teams to reach the final, and each individual match of the tournament.

VALORANT Champions is the final event on the VALORANT Champions Tour calendar, with every event during the year leading up to Champions at the end of the season.

Our VALORANT Champions betting guide will feature tournament details, participating teams, prize pool distribution and how to bet on and watch the event.


What is the VALORANT Champions

VALORANT Champions is the pinnacle of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT), serving as the world championship event that closes out each competitive season. Throughout the year, teams compete across their regional leagues—Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China—earning qualification through direct Stage victories or by accumulating Championship Points. Only the 16 best teams in the world secure a spot at Champions, making it the most prestigious and competitive tournament on the VALORANT calendar.

The event runs for nearly a month, this year from September 12 to October 5, with matches played in front of live crowds across two major venues in Paris: Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud for the group stage and Accor Arena for the playoff finals.

At stake is a US$2,250,000 prize pool, international glory, and the right to be crowned the VALORANT World Champion. Beyond the prize money, Champions often defines the legacy of players and organizations, with careers being built—or broken—on performances at this event.
