Valorant to Debut at Esports World Cup 2025 in New Riot Games Partnership

Riot Games' Valorant joins League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics at the Riyadh-based tournament, marking its first appearance at the global event.

Riot Games has signed a three-year partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation, bringing Valorant, League of Legends, and Teamfight Tactics to the 2025 event.
This marks Valorant's first inclusion in the Esports World Cup after being absent from the inaugural 2024 edition due to scheduling conflicts.
The Esports World Cup 2025 will feature top Valorant teams taking a break from the Valorant Champions Tour to compete in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The collaboration includes in-broadcast activations for Riot's esports leagues, such as the Valorant Champions Tour, League of Legends Esports, and TFT circuits, starting February 20, 2025.
The Esports World Cup 2025 aims to expand the global reach of competitive gaming by integrating Riot's games into its cross-game tournament format.
