Riot Games has revealed the 15 host cities for the 2027 VALORANT Champions Tour season, which introduces a new tier of events called VCT Cups, Esports.gg reported. Riot says the season will include more than 50 tournaments, with open qualifiers in every region to give amateur teams more routes into the circuit.
Masters and Champions
The first Masters of 2027 runs in Seoul, South Korea, from February 20 to March 3. Seoul previously hosted VALORANT Champions 2024 and the 2025 Game Changers Championship, and is home to the VCT Pacific league.
The second Masters runs in València, Spain, from June 5 to 20. It will be the circuit's first event in València, though Spain hosted a Masters event in Madrid in 2024.
VALORANT Champions 2027 and the Game Changers Championship will be held in Austin, Texas, from September 16 to October 10. It is the first Champions in the United States since Champions 2023 in California, and the first VCT event in Texas.
Kickoffs and VCT Cups
The season opens with regional Kickoffs in São Paulo, Berlin, Bangkok and Hangzhou, which decide the teams that qualify for Masters Seoul.
The first VCT Cup follows in Mexico City, Warsaw, Manila and Wuhan and feeds into Masters València. The second VCT Cup takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Tokyo and Shanghai.
