Uncommon card · No. 84081

The 2026 Valorant Champions (Chinese: 2026无畏契约全球冠军赛) was an esports tournament for the first-person tactical hero shooter video game Valorant. It was the sixth iteration of Valorant Champions, the world championship tournament of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) organised by the game's developer, Riot Games. The tournament was held in Shanghai, China. It was China's first hosting of the tournament, the second international Valorant competition to be held both in the country and in Shanghai, and the final Champions tournament in the franchise era, as the VCT will return to an open qualifier format in 2027. NRG were the defending champions heading into the event, but were subsequently eliminated in the playoffs by 100 Thieves. In the final, LOUD from the Americas defeated Team Vitality from EMEA with a 3–1 scoreline to win its second Champions title, becoming the first organization in Valorant history to do so, having previously won the 2022 edition.
