As we approach the group stage of Valorant Champions 2026, new rumors about next year’s Valorant Champions Tour international events have already started making the rounds on social media.
As per a recent leak by prominent Valorant dataminer “valohabercisi,” the first Masters event of the 2027 season might be held in South Korea. The leaker further claims that the second Masters event of the year is expected to take place in Spain.
It’s also worth noting that Valorant Champions 2027 has been confirmed to take place somewhere in the Americas.
It goes without saying that this information is still a leak and is not official at the time of writing, so be sure to take it with a grain of salt until Riot makes a statement.
Leaks about VCT hosting locations circulate constantly in the Valorant community, and plenty of past “leaks” from fan accounts and forum posters have turned out to be guesswork rather than genuine inside information.
That said, the leaker in question has earned a reputation within the game’s community for posting credible leaks, and the suggested locations aren’t implausible either. South Korea has a passionate Valorant fanbase and strong competitive scene, making it a natural candidate to host an international event, while Spain previously hosted Masters Madrid in 2024, which was considered a success both in attendance and production.
Riot Games typically reveals official VCT international event locations well in advance of the season, often through developer videos or dedicated announcement posts, so fans should expect confirmation, or a debunking, at some point before the 2027 season kicks off. Until then, it’s best to treat these leaks as unverified rumors rather than the locations being set in stone, and fans should wait for Riot’s official confirmation before treating these locations as final.
