If you’ve been looking to add some new skins to your Valorant arsenal but don’t want to spend a fortune on the latest bundles, you might be in luck. Riot Games has officially confirmed that the Valorant Night Market is making its return to the shooter, and it’s just around the corner.
Through an official announcement on X, Riot has confirmed that the Night Market is set to return to Valorant after over a month since the last one ended in April 2026.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Valorant Season 2026 Act 3 Night Market.
What is the Valorant Night Market?
The Valorant Night Market is a recurring event that takes place once per Act, enabling players to grab up to six randomly selected weapon skins at discounted prices. The discounts typically range from 10% to 49%, but only skins of specific rarities are included in the rotation.
When the Night Market is available, a small card logo will appear at the top-right corner of the game’s main menu. Players can navigate to this Night Market logo to check out all the available skins by flipping each card to reveal the weapon skin and its discounted price.
