VALORANT Champions 2026 features 16 qualified teams split into four GSL-style groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing via double-elimination best-of-three matches to the playoffs beginning early October in Shanghai. Qualification wrapped in early September through regional Stage 2 playoffs and Championship Points standings, sending Americas squads 100 Thieves, LOUD, NRG, and G2 Esports alongside EMEA representatives Karmine Corp, Team Liquid, FUT Esports, and Team Vitality, Pacific sides Nongshim RedForce, Paper Rex, T1, and Global Esports, and China entries TYLOO, JD Gaming, EDward Gaming, and Xi Lai Gaming. Groups mix one team from each region to balance early matchups, while recent form from Masters events, roster stability after the summer transfer window, and adaptation to the current patch will shape advancement odds ahead of the September 24 group stage opener.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team qualifies for the Playoffs stage of VALORANT Champions 2026 (also known as VCT Champions 2026), currently scheduled for September 24 to October 18, 2026, in Shanghai, China. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
The Group Stage (September 24 to October 4, 2026) consists of four four-team double-elimination (GSL) groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the eight-team Playoffs (October 7 to October 18, 2026). A team is considered to have qualified for the Playoffs once it is officially confirmed as one of the Playoffs participants, regardless of its subsequent Playoffs results. If a team qualifies and later withdraws or is replaced, this market will still resolve to "Yes" for that team.
If the Group Stage format or the number of Playoffs qualifiers is changed, this market will resolve according to the teams that officially advance to the Playoffs stage under the format actually used.
If VALORANT Champions 2026 is canceled, postponed after November 1, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the Playoffs participants have not been officially determined within this timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the tournament organizer, Riot Games, via the VALORANT Esports website (https://valorantesports.com).
