Next Valorant Night Market Dates 2026

Valorant's Night Market is back in 2026, and if you've been waiting to snag a skin you missed at a discount, now's the time to pay attention.
The Night Market isn't Valorant's flashiest event, but for skin collectors, it's one of the most valuable. Six random skins, discounts up to 49%, and a shot at Premium-tier cosmetics you might have skipped the first time around. Here's everything you need to know about the current Night Market and what to expect for the rest of the year.
Valorant, like many other games, offers customization options to let you style your character, and weapon skins are one of those primary customization items. However, it is challenging to land every item you want to add to your collection. Even if you’re not out to buy them all, the devs are always making sure there’s something that fits our fancy, and we may be caught by surprise every once in a while.
The pool includes Select, Deluxe, and Premium edition skins, plus most knife skins from those tiers. You're guaranteed at least two Premium-tier items. Additionally, random discounts also apply, ranging from 10% to 49%.
You can't reroll your selection. Whatever six skins the game deals you, that's what you're stuck with until the next Night Market rolls around. No refreshes, no second chances.
What's NOT in the Night Market:
The Night Market is live right now. Riot announced it on January 30, and it runs for three weeks through March 2, 2026. If you haven't logged in yet, your six cards are waiting to be flipped.
The card's background color and small corner icon indicate the skin tier before you flip, and so you'll know whether you're about to reveal a Premium skin or something more basic.
Night Markets appear once per Act, typically two to three weeks before the Act ends. Based on the Season 2026 calendar, here's when to expect each one:
| Act | Expected Night Market Window |
|---|---|
| Act 1 | February 5 – March 2, 2026 ✓ (confirmed) |
| Act 2 | Late April – Mid May 2026 |
| Act 3 | Late July – Mid August 2026 |
| Act 4 | Late September – Early October 2026 |
| Act 5 | Late November – Early December 2026 |
| Act 6 | Mid December 2026 – Early January 2027 |
Night Markets typically last two to three weeks. Year-end markets (November/December) tend to run longer—sometimes up to a month.
These dates are estimates based on Riot's historical patterns. The developer typically announces each Night Market about a week before it goes live, so follow VALORANT's official channels for confirmed dates.
The Night Market pool for Season 2026 Act 1 includes over 80 skin collections. Here are some of the notable Premium-tier options you might see:
Remember: melee skins from Premium collections priced over 4,350 VP aren't included—but the gun skins from those collections are still fair game.
Valorant's Night Market gives you a shot at discounted skins you might have missed, but only if you're patient and strategic about it. The current market runs through March 2, 2026, so you've got time to decide.
Mark your calendar for the rest of 2026. Night Markets appear once per Act, so knowing the approximate schedule lets you plan your VP spending accordingly. And if this round doesn't deliver what you wanted? The next one is never more than a couple of months away.
