VALORANT has revealed the 2026 roadmap for EMEA’s Challengers, Game Changers and Premier esports ecosystems.
Similar to the 2025 format, next year’s EMEA circuits will be divided into three main events, but with additional competitive opportunities and promotion pathways.
VALORANT EMEA Challengers 2026
Like in 2025, EMEA’s 2026 Challengers league will feature three main tournaments:
- Challengers EMEA Stage 1: March 16th – 31st
- Challengers EMEA Stage 2: May 18th – 28th
- Challengers EMEA Stage 3: June 22nd – July 6th
However, the Challengers season will actually commence on January 5th with kickoff-style regional events.
