FRANCE – Riot Games has announced that global ticket sales for VALORANT Champions Paris will go live on July 10 at 5 PM GMT+8. The 2025 VALORANT World Championship will take place in Paris, France, across two venues.
Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud – Evry-Courcouronnes, home to Karmine Corp, will host both the Group Stage (September 11–22) and the Bracket Stage (September 25–29). The event will then move to the iconic Accor Arena for the Finals Weekend from October 3–5.

For the first time ever, VALORANT Champions will implement a ticket validation process—similar to what was introduced for the 2024 League of Legends World Championship. Fans must have an active Riot Account with at least one game played to be eligible to purchase tickets:
- Players must have an active Riot Account created before April 1st, 2025, and the account must have a record of VALORANT gameplay.
- From May 30 through June 15, players will need to visit the Champions Ticket Eligibility page and log in with their Riot account (Check back starting May 31, 2025, 12:00 PM GMT+8 for more details on VCT Champions 2025 ticket eligibility)
- Once the account is verified, in July, players will receive an email from Riot with a one-time use access code and a link to a private sales page. Emails will be sent in waves, so they will not be received immediately after registering.
- Ticket sales will go live in July on the invite-only sales page linked in the verification email.
- Going through the verification process and receiving a code does not guarantee a ticket. Tickets are subject to availability.
Mastercard holders can also access presale tickets a day early, starting July 9 at 5 PM GMT+8.
