The 2025 VCT Champions venue has been locked in! Here is everything you need to know about the locations and how to grab your VCT tickets to watch the pros in action.
With the event confirmed in France, Riot Games announced that the tournament will take place at the Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud – Evry-Courcouronnes for the Group stage and Bracket stage, while the final matches will head over to the Accor Arena in the center of Paris. VCT Champions will see the top teams from the four regional leagues fight for the trophy from September 12 to October 5.
It’s not surprising to see Riot Games choose these two arenas for its VALORANT championship. Both venues have already hosted several esports events in recent times. Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud – Evry-Courcouronnes is the home of the French team Karmine Corp, who recently held the LFL Days as well as the LEC Roadtrip earlier this year, offering a total capacity of 3,000 people. The Accor Arena, on the other hand, can hold around 15,000 people and hosted the Red Bull League of Its Own in 2024, as well as the BLAST.tv Paris Major in 2023.
The tournament will kick off with the group stage on September 12, with the first part going until September 15. After a one-day break, the action will resume on September 17 until September 22, when the top teams will be locked in for the playoff stage. The first set of matches will take place from September 25 to September 29, and the top four will battle it out on the big stage from October 3 to October 5.
Compared to previous editions, the VCT Champions will kick off at a much later date, extending the competitive schedule by nearly two months. This was confirmed by VCT Commissioner and Global Head of VALORANT Esports, Leo Faria, to make sure teams do not end up with a packed schedule. Moreover, the qualification system for Champions will include the top two teams from each region’s Stage 2 and two teams with the highest amount of Championship points (that haven’t already qualified).
