Every couple of months the same question floods Discord servers and Reddit threads: when is the next Night Market? And every time, half the answers are guesses and a few are flat-out made up. Here's what's actually verifiable — the projected next dates, how the offer system works according to Riot's own support article, and two popular myths that refuse to die.
When is the next Valorant Night Market?
The next Valorant Night Market is projected to open on Thursday, June 18, 2026 and close on July 9, 2026. Treat those dates as an estimate, not a promise: they come from PCGamesN and Dexerto extrapolating the established cadence, because Riot has not announced anything official as of this writing. Riot typically confirms a Night Market only two or three days before it opens, via the in-client banner and the @VALORANT account on X. The cadence itself is reliable: there has been one Night Market in every act since the first one in December 2020, and the three 2026 markets so far each ran roughly three-week windows. Be skeptical of any site quoting "confirmed" dates further out — one widely shared prediction of June 7–28 had already missed by the time June arrived with no market live.
How does the Night Market actually work?
Riot's support article defines the Night Market precisely: it is a set of six random, discounted weapon skins, purchasable exactly like regular store offers, and the selection is unique to your account. You open six cards, each revealing one discounted skin, and those offers stay fixed for the whole event. The pool is also time-gated — skins can only appear if they're from an act older than one act ago, meaning a Night Market during Act 3 draws from Act 1 and earlier. So the bundle that dropped last month is never in there, no matter what a lucky-pull screenshot claims. The market exists, in Riot's words, to give players discounted access to older content their store rotation may never have surfaced — which is why it's the best VP value event in the game.
How big are Night Market discounts?
The commonly reported range is 10% to 49% off standard store prices, assigned randomly per offer. Worth knowing: that range comes from consistent secondary reporting (GameSpot, Dexerto, Dot Esports all cite it), not from Riot — the official support article says only "And discounted!" without ever stating a percentage. In practice the range holds up across thousands of player screenshots every market, so it's a safe planning number: a 1,775 VP Premium skin lands somewhere between roughly 905 and 1,600 VP. If you're tracking what your collection actually cost, discounted pulls are part of why a verified VP-spend estimate is quoted as a floor at standard prices — the real number bends lower with every good Night Market grab.
Which skin tiers can appear in the Night Market?
Per Riot's support article: Select, Deluxe, and Premium Edition skins all have a chance to appear, at least two Premium-or-higher skins are guaranteed, and you won't see more than two offers for the same weapon unless that's the only way to fill six slots. Riot adds that "you may even encounter some Exclusive Melee weapon skins." Ultra Edition isn't mentioned as eligible anywhere in the article. Don't treat the tier rules as absolute bans, though — in June 2025, Riot officially added three Exclusive gun collections (BlastX, Glitchpop, and Singularity from 2020) to that act's market as a one-time fifth-anniversary throwback, announced on the official @VALORANT account. Exceptions happen; they're just rare and Riot-announced when they do.
Can you reroll your Night Market offers?
No. Once your six offers are revealed, they are locked until the market ends — no reroll, refresh, or swap feature has ever existed in Valorant. This myth spreads aggressively through low-quality, AI-generated SEO sites, some of which describe a "one free reroll" in detail and even cite game episodes that don't exist. Dexerto, GameSpot, and PCGamesN all confirm the same thing: the feature has never been implemented, and no Riot patch note has ever mentioned one. What you do get: the offers exclude skins you already own (per consistent secondary reporting), so all six cards are always potential additions to your collection rather than dead slots. If your pulls are bad, the only reroll is waiting for next act's market.
Why is your Night Market different from your friends'?
Because it's personalized per account. Riot's own wording: "your Night.Market will most likely look entirely different" from anyone else's. The system rolls each player's six offers independently from the eligible pool, filtered against skins that player already owns. That's also why comparing markets with friends became a ritual — everyone's deal sheet is genuinely different, and there's no known way to influence what you get. Riot's "suit my preferences" phrasing hints the algorithm may weight toward your play habits, but no official statement confirms how deep that goes. What's certain is the part you can verify: what you own. A signed inventory showcase pulls your real collection — every tier counted, bought-versus-earned split included — so the post-market flex is provable instead of a screenshot anyone could edit.
Past Night Market dates (2025–2026)
The cadence in practice — every market since the start of 2025:
- V25 Act 1: February 13 – March 4, 2025
- V25 Act 2: April 9 – 29, 2025
- V25 Act 3: June 5 – 24, 2025 (the anniversary market with Exclusive throwbacks)
- V25 Act 4: July 10 – 24, 2025
- V25 Act 5: September 25 – October 9, 2025
- V25 Act 6: December 11, 2025 – January 6, 2026
- V26 Act 1: February 5 – March 2, 2026
- V26 Act 2: March 26 – April 16, 2026
- V26 Act 3: May 7 – 28, 2026
One per act, no act skipped, recent windows around three weeks (several 2025 markets ran a tighter two).
The bottom line
Expect the next Night Market around June 18 – July 9, 2026, confirmed by Riot only days before it opens. Six personalized offers, 10–49% off by consistent reporting, Select through Premium tiers with two Premium+ guaranteed, nothing newer than two acts old, and absolutely no rerolls.
