VALORANT Champions 2026 bundle raises over $50 million for VCT teams

Riot Games’ Champions 2026 collection has generated more than $50 million for the teams in the VALORANT Champions Tour, less than a month after its release.

The VALORANT Champions 2026 bundle has contributed more than $50 million to VCT teams, Riot Games announced on Thursday, as first reported by Sheep Esports.

Riot shares 50% of the net proceeds from the Champions collection with the teams. That means the bundle’s net sales have passed $100 million, according to The Esports Radar. The collection went on sale in September, shortly before VALORANT Champions 2026 began in Shanghai.

The figure was revealed on the same day as Riot’s schedule for VCT 2027, which brings guaranteed payments of $100,000 to $400,000 for open teams that qualify for VCT events. The 2027 esports bundle will feature the Ghost instead of the Classic.

VALORANT Champions 2026 reached its final weekend in Shanghai on Friday with the upper final between Vitality and LOUD and an elimination match between 100 Thieves and G2. The grand final is on Sunday.
