VCT 2024 Schedule

The 2024 Valorant Champions Tour is starting with a Kick-Off Tournament, similar to the LOCK//In from 2023. The major differences are each league will have a separate tournament, and it will be a double-elimination bracket tournament. From these regional tournaments, the top eight teams will qualify for the first VCT Masters of the year, VCT Masters Madrid. This event is also taking place in a double-elimination format and currently slated to take place in February next year.

Following the completion of VCT Masters Madrid, the first stage of the Franchised Leagues will begin. Valorant has also introduced Championship points which will be provided to teams based on their performances. Towards the end, these points will help decide which team makes it into VCT Champions 2024. Following the completion of VCT Master Madrid, the first phase of the International franchise leagues will begin. From these, the top twelve teams from the four leagues will qualify for VCT Masters Shanghai in May

After VCT Masters Shanghai, the second phase of the VCT leagues begins. This will be the last chance for teams to gather Championship Points to qualify for VCT Champions 2024. VCT Champions 2024 is expected to take place in August 2024 and will consist of the Top 16 teams from all Valorant’s leagues.
