When is the next Night Market in VALORANT? All dates

Last updated on Nov. 11, 2025: We’ll update this article when Riot Games confirms the next Night Market date in VALORANT.

If you’ve got some skins on your wishlist and are wondering when the next Night Market is scheduled to go live, we’ve got you covered with the information you need.

With Riot Games releasing a new skin collection every few weeks, players are never short of new VALORANT skins to add to their inventory. That said, these cosmetics aren’t cheap, and not all of us can afford to get bundles or skins at their original price tags. Here’s where Night Markets come in to save the day by offering unique discounts on skins for you to grab. But there’s a catch.

If you’re looking for all VALORANT Night Market dates in 2025, upcoming Night Market dates, eligible skins, or are simply curious about how the event works, our guide is everything you need.

When is the next VALORANT Night Market? V25, Act Six date

The next VALORANT Night Market (Season V25, Act Six) dates haven’t been announced yet. That said, based on previous trends, it’s expected to go live in December, likely between Dec. 8 and 14. For those looking for a more precise window: The Night Market usually arrives alongside or shortly after a patch, which usually drop on Tuesdays. So, you can expect the Night Market to appear sometime between Dec. 9 and 11.

Also, year-end Night Markets tend to stay longer than usual. Considering the Night Market will stay till the end of Act Six (and the beginning of Season V26, Act One), which is scheduled for Jan. 7 according to the in-game timer, you should have around a month’s time to purchase your offers.

A Night Market is typically available for a couple of weeks near the end of an Act. For Season V25, Act Four, however, Riot released it just three weeks after the Act began, which was a notable shift from the usual trend since 2020. With Act Five, things have shifted back to the old trend—and is expected to stay the same.

VALORANT’s vast library of weapon skins has been building up since 2020. While the shop’s daily rotating section gives you a chance to purchase skins after the collection leaves the featured section, it doesn’t offer any discounts on the price. On the other hand, the Night Market lists skins at a discounted rate, but you may or may not roll the skins you want. It depends on luck.

Here are all the Night Market dates hosted in VALORANT so far.

All eligible skin collections in VALORANT Night Market (V25 Act Five)

Not all VALORANT skins are eligible to appear in the Night Market. Only gun and melee skins from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium edition collections can show up in this special shop event.

So, if you’re looking to grab an Araxys Vandal, Imperium Operator, or any other Exclusive or Ultra edition skin at the Night Market, unfortunately, it’s not possible. Skins classified as Agent gear or made available through the battle pass and melee skins priced above 3,550 VP aren’t included in the pool either. As an exception, however, three Exclusive collections—BlastX, Glitchpop, and Singularity (Episode One)—were included in the Night Market pool of Season V25, Act Three.

For a collection to be eligible, it must have been released at least two Acts prior to the one the Night Market is scheduled for.

With that said, here are all the eligible weapon collections for the VALORANT Night Market in V25, Act Five:

Some eligible Premium collections, namely Bolt, Helix, Oni, Ion, Magepunk, Reaver, Sovereign, Valiant Hero, and XERØFANG, contain melee skins that are priced over 4,350 VP. Those melee skins, in particular, are not eligible for the Night Market, but the remaining gun and melee skins in the collections are.

How does VALORANT’s Night Market work?

Accessing a Night Market in VALORANT is pretty simple, but if you’re looking for a step-by-step guide, here’s everything you need to do to successfully roll your offers:

1. As soon as the Night Market goes live in VALORANT, you should notice a small black card-like icon added to the top–right bar beside the VP counter.
2. Click on it to open a special store page featuring six cards.
3. Interact with the cards to reveal six skins at discounted rates. You can make the most of just one or multiple of those offers as long as the event is live.

Night Market cards are highlighted in four shades to depict the kind of collection or skin hiding behind them:

• Blue indicates a Select collection gun skin.
• Green indicates a Deluxe collection gun skin.
• Purple indicates a Premium edition gun skin.
• Yellow or Gold indicates a melee skin. 

You can usually expect at least two knives or Premium Edition skins in a Night Market collection. Only a maximum of two skins for the same weapon can appear, but this rule doesn’t apply to skins from the same bundle.

You can get discounts of up to 49 percent on skins from a Night Market. The discounts are random, so you may not like all the offers you see. That said, even a small discount is better than paying the full price.

I’m eyeing the Sovereign Vandal—arguably one of the best Vandal skins ever made—this time. Unfortunately, we can’t control what those cards reveal. Players receive a unique set of skins and discounts based on their luck. That said, you won’t get a skin you already own, so that’s a relief.

Rerolling your Night Market in VALORANT, explained

If you think you’ve got the “worst Night Market ever,” believe it or not, most of us share the same thought. Only a few VALORANT players are lucky enough to roll the skins they really want at such amazing discounts, and that’s how it has always been.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to reroll your cards in a Night Market, so better luck next time.

How to refund Night Market skins in VALORANT

Like skins purchased from the regular shop, you can refund the VALORANT weapon skins you purchase from a Night Market:

• All you have to do is submit a support ticket to Riot explaining why you want a refund for the purchase.
• That said, you must not have used the skin in a match or even the Practice Range to be eligible for a refund.

If you’ve already tried the skin out in a Deathmatch or other modes, you won’t be eligible for a refund—technically.
