Next Valorant Night Market 2026: Dates, Skins and Deals

The Valorant Night Market is a limited-time store extension that gives every player six discounted weapon skin offers. It runs for about two weeks, appears roughly once per Act, and the cards can't be rerolled once they're generated.

Discounts land between 10% and 49%, assigned at random to each card. Skins you already own are excluded, and at least two of the six offers will be Premium-tier guns or eligible melee skins.

Skins won't win you a duel. But in a tactical FPS with roughly 18.5 million monthly players, your gun is the one thing on screen that belongs to you, and Night Market prices are usually lower than the store's.

The current market closes on July 29, 2026. The Night Market discounts the skin, not the currency, so if you want to bring the total down further, a Valorant VP top-up on GamsGo comes at up to 30% off.

When Does the Current Valorant Night Market End?

Riot announced this market on July 10 and opened it at the store reset on July 16. It closes on July 29, 2026, three weeks before Season 2026 Act 4 ends on August 19.

The market opened at the daily store reset, 5pm PDT on July 16, which is midnight UTC on July 17. Riot has not published a closing time for July 29, so the countdown inside the client is the only reliable deadline.

Rollout also runs by region and by account, which is why some players saw their cards hours after others. If you are close to the wire, trust the timer rather than the calendar date.

How to Open the Valorant Night Market

1. Launch the Valorant client while the market is live.
2. Accept the prompt on the left of the main menu if this is your first login of the event.
3. Otherwise click the tarot card icon at the top right, beside the VP counter.
4. Flip each of the six cards to reveal the skin and its discount.
5. Buy what you want. Flipped cards hold that price until the market closes.

What You Can Buy in the Valorant Night Market

The pool is made up of Select, Deluxe, and Premium gun skins, plus the knives attached to those collections. Discounts apply to the base store price, so what you save comes down to which tier your card lands on.

Knives carry the largest savings, and Riot reserves at least two of your six slots for Premium guns or eligible melee skins. Melee priced at 4,350 VP or above is excluded, so the very top knives stay out.

The other four slots are open, and a set will not repeat the same weapon more than twice. That cap can bend if you own most of the pool and Riot still needs six cards to fill.

Radianite is the catch. Upgrade levels and colour variants are never discounted, so a cheap Premium card gets you the base skin and a grind for everything after it.

When Is the Next Valorant Night Market Expected?

Riot has not announced a date for the next Valorant Night Market. The estimates below come from six years of release history.

Three patterns are stable enough to forecast from:

• Every Act since Episode 1 Act 3 has carried exactly one Night Market.
• Acts now run a standardised 56 days or so, which puts each market inside a two month window.
• December has produced a market every year since 2020, and five of those six ran into early January.

The three week cycle reported earlier in 2026 has already failed once. A June 18 return was widely expected and never arrived, which is why we anchor these estimates to Acts instead of fixed gaps.

If you are rationing VP, December is a sensible window to save for. Those markets run long and usually spill into January, which leaves more room to think instead of deciding on day one.

Every Previous Valorant Night Market Date

Here is the full appearance history since the first market in December 2020, with each window measured in days. The duration column is where the December pattern shows up.

The Episode 6 Act 3 market is the one outlier worth knowing about. Its original June 7 launch hit technical problems, and Riot relaunched it a week later on June 14.

Valorant Night Market Skins

Almost every store skin line can roll in the Night Market, but the pool is not the whole store. Two rules cut it down: edition tier and age.

Exclusive and Ultra Edition gun skins are out, along with melee skins priced at 4,350 VP or above. Battle Pass rewards, agent gear, and accessories such as sprays and buddies never appear either.

The age rule catches more people out. A collection becomes eligible two Acts after release, so this Act's Blackspyre line cannot show up, both for being new and for sitting in the Exclusive tier.

Every Collection in the Valorant Night Market Pool

Here is the eligible pool as of Season 2026 Act 4, sorted alphabetically. Hi-DR0 is the newest addition. Find the name on your card, check the tier, and you know what the discount is worth.

Nine Premium collections carry knives priced at 4,350 VP or above: Bolt, Helix, Ion, Magepunk, Oni, Reaver, Sovereign, Valiant Hero, and XERØFANG. Those melee skins stay out, while the gun skins roll normally.

Cheaper knives do make it through. The Hi-DR0 Baton sits at 2,550 VP, comfortably under the cap, so a heavy discount on it beats anything a Select card can offer.

Riot refreshes the pool at the start of each Act with whatever cleared the two Act wait. If you want a sense of which lines are worth holding VP for, our ranking of the best Valorant skins breaks them down by tier.

Is Your Valorant Night Market Offer Worth Buying?

A 10% card and a 49% card look identical when you flip them, but they are not the same deal. A rough framework that has held up well for us:

• Under 20% on a Select skin. Usually skippable. You save fewer than 200 VP on a model with no VFX or finisher.
• 25% or more on a Premium line you already wanted. Worth taking, since Premium skins rarely discount outside this market.
• Any solid cut on an eligible knife. Worth a serious look, because melee is the most expensive slot in the game.
• Anything you feel lukewarm about. Hold the VP. December markets run long and give you more room to think.

One more thing to weigh: a Premium skin needs Radianite to reach its final form. A cheap card on a line you will never upgrade is a smaller win than the discount suggests.

How to Spend Less on Valorant Points and Skins

A 40% card still leaves you buying VP at full rate, and that is the half of the bill nobody thinks about. Riot sets the VP price, so the only place left to save is where you buy the currency itself, and those two savings stack on top of each other.

That is the gap GamsGo fills. It is a digital marketplace for game top-ups, gift cards, and subscriptions, and the Valorant side of it runs at up to 30% off, which means the same 1,775 VP Premium card costs you noticeably less to actually claim.

Which route makes sense depends on how you buy. Direct top-ups suit a deadline like July 29, gift cards suit stockpiling for the September market, and account listings suit players chasing a collection that stopped appearing in the store years ago.

• A direct Valorant VP top-up if you need the currency in the account before July 29.
• A Valorant points gift card if you would rather redeem later or send it to someone else.
• Listings to buy Valorant accounts if you are after a specific existing collection.

Payments go through Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, with the available options varying by region at checkout. First party items are usually delivered automatically after payment, while Marketplace listings show each seller's average delivery time.

Check the product page for delivery speed, region restrictions, and refund terms before ordering. Support runs 24/7 through the help centre or assistance@gamsgo.com if an order needs following up.

There are also a few working Valorant codes going around if you want some free sprays and gun buddies while you are at it.

Valorant Night Market Verdict

The market closes on July 29, 2026. The next one should open in late September or early October, with another in mid December. Riot has not confirmed either date, so bookmark this page and follow GamsGo. We update it as soon as the announcement lands.

Two months is plenty of time to stock up on VP, so whatever your cards look like this week, the next set is already worth planning for.
