Today we're thrilled to announce the initial details for Champions Paris! Champions will bring together the entire VALORANT community and the best professional teams in the world for the biggest event of the year! To qualify for the event, top teams from the 4 International Leagues battled through a season-long gauntlet of regular season matches and global events to claim one of the sixteen available spots. From September 12–October 5, the best of the best will converge in France to compete for the Champions trophy and the title of VALORANT World Champion!
The event will kick off at Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud – Evry-Courcouronnes and conclude at the Accor Arena!
New Verification Process for Ticket Sale
To ensure tickets go to real fans, we’ll be using a new verification system, similar to what we’ve previously used for events like the 2024 LoL World Championship. Players must follow the validation process to qualify for the opportunity to purchase a ticket. Tickets will only be available through this verification process. Players must have an active Riot Account and the account must have a record of at least one game played.
To confirm your eligibility, please follow these steps:
Players must have an active Riot Account created before April 1st, 2025, and the account must have a record of VALORANT gameplay.
From May 30 through June 24, players will need to visit the Champions Ticket Eligibility page and log in with their Riot account.
Once the account is verified, in July, players will receive an email from Riot with a one-time use access code and a link to a private sales page. Emails will be sent in waves, so they will not be received immediately after registering.
Ticket sales will go live in July on the invite-only sales page linked in the verification email.
Please note that going through the verification process and receiving a code does not guarantee a ticket. Tickets are subject to availability.
We appreciate your patience and support as we work to get tickets into the hands of players!
