Valorant's Night Market is set to return ahead of Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 launching later this month.

Valorant brings the Night Market back once per Act, and with the next season starting later this month, the Night Market is set to arrive this week alongside Valorant Patch 6.11 – which launched earlier in the week – before Valorant Episode 6 Act 3 comes to an end.

The Valorant Night Market is a monthly event which appears in-game and gives players the chance to nab some of the game's top skins for a reduced price. However, there's a catch the skins available to players each month are doled out at random, with a selection of six available during each Night Market.

When is the next Valorant Night Market?

The next Valorant Night Market begins today! You should be able to access the Night Market at around 2pm BST / 9am EDT / 6am PDT, as this is when Valorant updates typically release. The Valorant Night Market will be available until June 27 when Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 is scheduled to release.

How do you access the Valorant Night Market?

When the Valorant Night Market is available you'll see a pop-up on the main menu alerting you. This prompt will take you to the Night Market and reveal which skins are available for you this month. If you want to go back to the Night Market after you've been there the first time you're going to want to click on the card icon next to the store tab on the main menu.

What skins are available in the Valorant Night Market?

You'll be given six skins to choose from when you access the Valorant Night Market, each for a different weapon. Any skins released before Valorant Episode 6 Act 2 can be up for grabs in the Night Market, with skins ineligible to appear until 2 Acts after a debut. This means the following skins won't be available in the Valorant Night Market until Episode 7 Act 1:

• Oni – Frenzy, Bulldog, Vandal, Ares, Onimaru Kunitsuna
• Altitude – Sheriff, Bucky, Vandal, Odin, Knuckle Knife
• Black Market – Classic, Bulldog, Vandal, Marshal, Butterfly Knife

Any skins classed as Executive or Ultra Edition will also be ineligible for the Night Market. Players are stuck with the six items the Night Market offers them for the duration of the month, as you're unable to reroll your item choices.
