The next Valorant Night Market opens on July 16, 2026, and runs until July 29, 2026. Riot Games confirmed the dates through an official post on the Valorant X account on July 10, 2026.
The previous Night Market closed on May 28, 2026. Players had waited close to seven weeks for the July return.
Next Valorant Night Market Date
Valorant’s Night Market schedule has not followed a fixed pattern in the past. Two markets earlier in 2026 did run on a three-week cycle, with one opening on March 26 and the next on May 7. That pattern broke this time. Instead of a June return, the wait stretched into July.
The market opens on July 16 and closes on July 29, giving players roughly two weeks to browse their offers.
How the Valorant Night Market Works
Each Night Market gives every player six random weapon skins at a discount. The skins come from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium tiers.
A few rules apply:
- The skin selection is random and locked in once revealed. You cannot reroll for different skins.
- Skins you already own will not appear in your offers.
- Old skins can be traded in as part of a purchase.
- The offers disappear once the market closes.
Only one Night Market usually runs per act, but Riot has included one in every act since Episode 1, Act 3, making the event a reliable fixture of each new season.
How to Access the Night Market
Getting into the Night Market takes two steps, depending on when you log in.
If you log in after the market first opens, a prompt appears on the left side of the main menu. At any other time while the market is live, you can open it by clicking the tarot card icon near the top right of the screen, next to the store tab.
Eligible Skins in the Night Market
Not every skin in Valorant can show up in the Night Market. Exclusive and Ultra Edition skins are left out entirely. Skins released within the two acts before the market opens are also excluded.
In practice, this means a skin line needs to sit in the store for two full acts before it becomes eligible.
Eligible collections currently in the rotation pool include Wasteland, Rupture, Storm Maw, Bolt, Smite, Minima, Helix, Neptune, and dozens of older lines going back to Valorant’s earliest episodes. Skins are sorted into three tiers for the Night Market: Select, Deluxe, and Premium.
