When does VALORANT Night Market come out?

The VALORANT Night Market remains one of the most popular rotating events in the game, offering players randomized skin discounts only available for a short period each Act. It is not fixed to a strict calendar, but Riot Games follows a clear pattern where the event usually appears once per Act, with roughly six offerings that remain locked for the duration of the Night Market period once revealed. So exactly when does VALORANT Night Market come out?

When does VALORANT Night Market come out?

The most recent Night Market ran from September 25, 2025 to October 9, 2025. This arrival aligned with the trend of Night Market releases coming early into a new Act, rather than near the end. VALORANT Act VI began on October 15, 2025, and based on Riot’s recent pattern, the most realistic expectation for the next Night Market is either the end of November or towards December’s first week in 2025, although Riot has not officially confirmed the date. In past Acts, particularly during Acts 4 and 5 of 2025, Riot shifted to releasing the Night Market earlier than usual, suggesting the December window is currently the most reasonable projection.

Because the Night Market does not have a permanently scheduled slot, the best answer to when the next one arrives is that it appears once a season and typically resurfaces approximately every two months. Once Riot officially confirms the dates, players can expect an in-client notification and announcement.

The confirmed date for the next Night Market is 11 Dec 2025, 2 PM PST till 6 Jan 2026, 2 PM PST.

How does the Night Market Work in VALORANT

The Night Market gives each player six randomized weapon skins at discounted prices. These skins are account-specific and cannot be rerolled or refreshed during the event. Each Night Market guarantees at least two Premium-tier skins or better, and discounts generally range from around ten percent to nearly fifty percent depending on the skin. Newly released collections and exclusive Ultra-edition skins do not appear in Night Market rotation until they have aged through at least two Acts, ensuring the event focuses on an established catalog of weapon lines.

How to get Night Market VALORANT

Opening the Night Market is simple. When it becomes available, a Night Market icon will appear beside the in-game Store tab. Once the event begins, a card icon appears at the top of the client. Opening it displays six concealed cards that must be flipped to reveal your personal discounted skins. Once revealed, they remain until the event concludes, and players are free to purchase any of them before the expiration date.

No action is required beforehand and you do not need to trigger anything manually. If the icon does not appear when the Night Market should be active, fully restarting the game client often solves the issue.
