Valorant Esports has revealed the venue and dates for Champions Paris, along with new information about ticket sales and a new eligibility process.
To start with, Champions Paris will begin at Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud – Evry-Courcouronnes. Here, the Group Stage and Bracket Stage will take place. The dates are as follows:
- Group Stage: September 12 to September 22 (Group Stage 1 from September 12 to September 15 and Group Stage 2 from September 17 to September 22)
- Bracket Stage: September 25 to September 29
The Finals Weekend, which consists of the Arena Stage and the Grand Finals, will take place at the Accor Arena. This is the event that will crown the year’s Valorant World Champion, which is what every pro team has been fighting for throughout the year. The Finals Weekend will take place from October 3 to October 5.
Tickets this year will look a bit different. In fact, Valorant Esports is taking inspiration from the 2024 League of Legends World Championship. As both games are owned by Riot, this isn’t too big of a surprise.
To buy tickets to Champions Paris, fans will need to prove that they’re actually Valorant players. To buy a ticket, fans have to have a Riot Account with at least one Valorant game played prior to April 1, 2025. This means that it’s already too late for anyone to create an account in order to buy a ticket.
Accounts still have to be verified, and players will need to log into the Champions Ticket Eligibility page here between May 30 to June 15 to do so.
From there, players will get a one-time access code for purchasing a ticket (along with a private sales page link) in July. These emails will be sent out in waves, and getting one doesn’t guarantee access to a ticket. They’re still subject to availability.
The dates and times for ticket sales are as follows:
- USA: July 10 at 3 am PT
- EMEA: July 10 at 12 pm CEST
- Korea: July 10 at 6 pm KST
Those who have a Mastercard are able to buy presale tickets with said Mastercard. These will open up 24 hours earlier on July 9.
