Valorant Esports Confirms No Early Revaluation for VCT Team Slots

Global Head Leo Faria clarifies that current partnerships will be reviewed in 2026, not before, with Challengers teams prioritized for future slots.

Rumors about early revaluation of certain VCT team slots have been denied by Valorant's Global Head of Esports.
The current 30 teams in the VCT have contracts lasting until the end of 2026, after which new partnerships may be considered.
Performance reviews will be conducted annually, but no team is at risk of losing their slot before 2026.
Challengers teams are first in line for consideration when new partnership slots open up in 2027.
Riot Games is already evaluating new organizations for potential inclusion in future VCT leagues.
