With how big the VCT has gotten globally, it can be a bit tricky to keep track of all the events and when they’re happening. Don’t worry, though — we’ve broken everything down for you.

Each region follows a similar format when it comes to qualifications and tournament structure, but the exact dates vary a bit depending on the location.

So here’s a full rundown of all the major events happening in the 2025 VCT circuit, with dates and key details included:

VCT Stage 1

We don’t have exact dates for each region just yet, but Stage 1 is expected to run from March 22 to April 25, 2025.

Teams are split into two groups of six, and these groups will be shuffled around again in Stage 2 to keep things interesting.

Stage 1 Playoffs

The best 8 teams from Stage 1 will go head-to-head in a double-elimination bracket.

Playoff Dates: May 3 – May 16, 2025

Masters Toronto

Here’s where things get even bigger. Masters Toronto brings together the top 3 teams from each region’s Stage 1 Playoffs — 12 teams total.

The event starts with a Swiss stage featuring 8 teams, while the highest-ranked team from each region gets a direct ticket to the knockout rounds (which use a double-elimination format).

Event Dates: June 7 – June 22, 2025

VCT Stage 2

Stage 2 works a lot like Stage 1 but happens later in the year.

Dates: July 12 – August 15, 2025

Stage 2 Playoffs

Here’s where it gets intense. While the format is similar to the first set of playoffs, the stakes are much higher.

The top 2 teams earn a guaranteed spot at Valorant Champions 2025. The remaining spots are determined through Championship Points.

That means even if a team had a rough start to the year, a strong performance here could still punch their ticket to Champs. It's a major chance for underdogs to pull off something big.

Playoff Dates: August 16 – August 29, 2025

Valorant Champions 2025

The grand finale of the season will take place in Paris. This is the big one — 16 teams from around the world will compete to be crowned the Valorant World Champion.

The top 2 teams from each region will qualify directly. The remaining four spots will go to teams with the highest number of Championship Points, which are earned throughout the season.

So if a team doesn’t make it through Stage 2 but crushes every other event, they still have a shot.

Event Dates: September 12 – October 5, 2025
