It is the most common question asked by the Valorant community: When is the next Night Market in Valorant?
If you are desperately waiting to buy a premium Kuronami Vandal or a Reaver Karambit at a massive discount, the Night Market is your only hope. Riot Games periodically drops this limited-time store event, offering players six randomized weapon skins at heavily slashed VP (Valorant Points) prices.
Because Riot does not announce the dates until the very last minute, players are left guessing. Fortunately, Riot follows a very strict historical pattern. Here is exactly when you can expect the next Night Market to drop.
The September 2026 Prediction
⚠️ EXCLUSIVE AND PREMIUM SKINS EXCLUDED
Remember, not all skins can appear in the Night Market. Exclusive Edition, Ultra Edition (like the Elderflame dragons), Battle Pass skins, and Knife skins priced over 3,550 VP are permanently excluded from the discount pool.
Based on Riot’s incredibly consistent 8-week release cycle, we can accurately predict the exact window.
The previous Night Market concluded in mid-July. Factoring in the typical ~60 day gap between events, the next Valorant Night Market is scheduled to arrive in mid-September 2026.
Historically, Riot launches the Night Market on a Wednesday or Thursday. Therefore, you should expect the next Night Market to go live globally on either September 16th or September 23rd, 2026. The event will last for roughly 20 days, giving you plenty of time to purchase the discounted skins.
