Riot Games has announced VALORANT EMEA Clash, a 2026 tournament bringing together both VCT and Challengers teams.
From February 16th to 26th, the EMEA Clash will see the region’s top Challengers teams compete against some VCT EMEA rosters that couldn’t qualify for Masters Santiago.
VALORANT EMEA Clash is a first-of-its-kind event that is directly integrated within Riot Games’ highly regulated VALORANT esports ecosystem.
With the publisher working towards a more open esports scene in 2026 and beyond, the new tournament aims to provide additional opportunities for teams outside of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT).
