When the Valorant Night Market Returns in June 2026

The Valorant Night Market is the limited-time shop that hands you six discounted weapon skins picked just for your account. It only shows up once per Act, so timing matters if you want to grab a deal before the cards vanish. With the most recent market closing on May 28, 2026, attention now turns to when the next one opens.

🗓️

Quick answer: Based on the current three-week cadence, the next Night Market is expected to open on Thursday, June 18, 2026, and run for about three weeks until July 9. Riot has not officially confirmed this date, so treat it as a projection until an in-client notification appears.

The Night Market typically stays live for around three weeks.

Expected Valorant Night Market date in June 2026

The last two markets have followed a tidy three-week rhythm. The V26 Act 2 market ran from March 26 to April 16, 2026, and exactly three weeks later the V26 Act 3 market opened on May 7 and stayed up through May 28. Carry that same gap forward and June 18 lines up as the most likely opening day for the next round.

Historically, Night Market timing has been tough to pin down, since Riot rarely locks it to a fixed calendar slot. The steady cadence across the recent markets makes June 18 a reasonable bet, but nothing is set in stone until the offers actually go live. Once Riot flips the switch, you will see a notification inside the client.

📌

Note: Every Act since Episode 1, Act 3 has featured a Night Market, so even if the exact date shifts, another market is essentially guaranteed before the current Act ends.

How to access the Night Market in Valorant

You do not need to do anything in advance to unlock the market. When it goes live, your offers are generated automatically and tied to your account.

Step 1: Log in after the market opens. A prompt slides in on the left-hand side of the main menu, showing that your Night Market is ready.

Step 2: If you close that prompt or want to check back later, click the Tarot card icon near the top right of the screen, next to the store tab. This reopens the market any time it is active.

Head to the Night Market through the main menu.

Step 3: Flip the concealed cards to reveal your six discounted skins. Once revealed, they stay locked in until the market closes, so there is no rush to buy the moment you open them.

If the icon does not appear while the market should be running, fully restarting the game client usually fixes it.

How Night Market offers and discounts work

Each market gives you six randomly selected weapon skins from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium tiers. Discounts land anywhere from 10% up to 49% off, and every skin gets its own random cut, so some deals will be far better than others.

Your selection is locked the moment it generates. You cannot reroll or change the skins, and the system automatically filters out anything you already own, so every offer is new to your collection. You also get the option to trade in a couple of older skins if you want.

Two rules keep the offers from feeling like a total dud. At least two of your six cards will be a knife skin or a Premium Edition gun skin, and you will never see more than two skins for the same weapon in a single market.

⏳

The market disappears after about two weeks, so flip your cards and decide before it closes. There is typically only one Night Market per Act.

Which skins can appear in the Night Market

Almost every skin line can roll, but a few categories are permanently excluded. Exclusive and Ultra Edition skins stay out of the pool, and any collection released within the last two Acts is not eligible yet. Skins only become valid two Acts after their initial release, which is why the Evori Dreamwings bundle from Episode 9, Act 1 did not show up until Episode 9, Act 3.

Magepunk Vandal.Valorant GO! Vol. 2 Classic.Celestial Ares.Prism Phantom.

Eligible collections span a huge catalog of older skin lines, including Wasteland, Rupture, Valorant Go! Vol. 3, Storm Maw, Helix, Combat Crafts, Aperture, RGX 11z Pro, Aemondir, Mystbloom, Fortune's Hand, MK.VII Liberty, Chromedek, Orion, Magepunk 3.0, Oni, Reverie, Abyssal, Crimsonbeast, Reaver 2.0, Xenohunter, Snowfall, Recon, Origin, Forsaken, Prime 2.0, Celestial, and many more reaching all the way back to the Episode 1 launch skins.

Even inside an eligible Premium collection, the most expensive melee skins do not roll. A Premium line can appear, but its priciest knife variant stays out of the pool.

Previous Valorant Night Market dates

Every market since the feature debuted in December 2020 is listed below. Use it to gauge the cadence and judge how the projected June window fits the pattern.

One footnote worth remembering is that the Episode 6, Act 3 market was pushed back from its original June 7 launch due to technical problems before reopening on June 14. Delays are rare, but they do happen, which is another reason to wait for the in-client notification rather than counting on an exact projected day.

For now, keep June 18 circled as the realistic target, watch for the prompt on your main menu, and remember that your six cards lock in once revealed. If the deals are tempting, you have roughly three weeks to spend your Valorant Points before they expire.
