Riot Games has unveiled the schedule for the upcoming Partner Series during the offseason, signaling an exciting period ahead for Valorant enthusiasts. The 2025 season of the Valorant Champions Tour is set to conclude this weekend with one champion emerging from the final four teams. Although this might suggest a lull in competitive action until the start of 2026, a variety of engaging tournaments will continue to fuel the scene.

Following on from last year’s edition, the forthcoming break will feature several standalone competitions. A total of five tournaments are planned to take place in November and December, promising plenty of live action and high-level plays.

The November lineup includes the following events:

  • TEN 2025 Valorant Global Invitational – scheduled for November 8-9 in Asan, Korea. This competition will host the four leading teams from around the globe, with representation from VCT Pacific (two teams), VCT China (one team), and either VCT Americas or EMEA (one team).
  • Red Bull Home Ground World Final – taking place from November 13-16 in Manhattan, New York City. This event will bring together a selection of the finest teams from across the world.
  • Ludwig x Tarik Invitational – to be held on November 22-23. This event blends competitive play with innovative formats, uniting top professionals as they vie for the ultimate recognition among America’s best players.

In December, two key competitions will further energize the Valorant calendar:

  • SOOP Valorant League Pacific – concluding on December 13-14, this event is considered the leading Partner Series tournament in the APAC region.
  • Americas Spotlight Series – running from December 12-14, this three-day LAN competition brings together participants from the Valorant Champions Tour and Game Changers events, with an impressive prize pool of $25,000 up for grabs.

All in all, the final months of 2025 will deliver a robust series of events, ensuring that fans and players alike enjoy a vibrant period of competitive Valorant action well into the year’s close.
