If you’re eager to snag some skins and are curious about the upcoming Night Market events, we’ve gathered all the essential details for you.

Riot Games consistently introduces new skin collections every few weeks, ensuring players have plenty of VALORANT skins to choose from. However, acquiring these cosmetics can be quite costly, and not everyone can afford the original prices for bundles and skins. That’s where Night Markets come to the rescue, providing special discounts on skins. But there’s a little catch to it.

If you’re after the dates for all the VALORANT Night Markets in 2025, details on future events, eligible skins, or if you’re just curious about how the Night Market operates, this guide is your go-to resource.

Upcoming VALORANT Night Market Schedule: V25, Act Three

The Night Market for VALORANT’s Season V25, Act Four is currently active. It kicked off on July 10 and will run until July 24, meaning you have two weeks to take advantage of the deals. Keep in mind that any offers available during this period will not be accessible once it concludes on July 24.

During each VALORANT Act, a Night Market event is typically hosted for a couple of weeks toward the Act’s conclusion. This time, however, the Night Market appeared shortly after the start of Season V25, Act Four, deviating from the usual schedule established since 2020. It remains unclear whether Riot intends to hold additional markets at the end of the Act or if they’ll continue introducing them at the beginning of each Act. Updates will be provided as the developer clarifies its strategy.

VALORANT has amassed a large collection of weapon skins since its launch in 2020. While the rotating daily shop section offers another chance to purchase skins once they’re out of featured status, it doesn’t provide any discounts. In contrast, the Night Market showcases skins at reduced prices, though your selected skins are subject to the luck of the draw.

Complete Night Market Dates for VALORANT

Below are all the Night Market dates that have occurred in VALORANT to date.

Longest Night Market in VALORANT History

The first Night Market, held during Episode One, Act Three, lasted over a month, running from December 10, 2020, to January 11, 2021, making it the longest-running Night Market in VALORANT to date.

Eligible Skin Collections in the VALORANT Night Market (V25 Act Two)

Not every VALORANT skin qualifies for inclusion in the Night Market. Only weapon and melee skins from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium edition collections can make it into this event.

Therefore, if you’re aiming for skins such as the Araxys Vandal or Imperium Operator during the Night Market, you’ll be disappointed, as Exclusive or Ultra edition skins are not available here. Additionally, skin types classified as Agent gear or those obtained through the battle pass, as well as melee skins priced above 3,550 VP, are excluded. However, three Exclusive collections–BlastX, Glitchpop, and Singularity (from Episode One)–were featured in the Night Market selections for Season V25, Act Three.

To be eligible for inclusion, a collection must have been released at least two Acts before the Night Market’s scheduled event.

Below are the weapon collections available for the VALORANT Night Market in V25, Act Four:

Some Premium collections, including Bolt, Helix, Oni, Ion, Magepunk, Reaver, Sovereign, Valiant Hero, and XERØFANG, contain melee skins that are priced over 4,350 VP. These specific melee skins are ineligible for the Night Market, but the remaining weapon and applicable melee skins within those collections qualify.

How Does VALORANT’s Night Market Function?

When the Night Market opens in VALORANT, a small black card icon will appear at the top right corner next to your VP counter. Clicking on this icon will take you to a special store page featuring six cards. By interacting with these cards, you can reveal six skins offered at discounted prices. You can take advantage of as many deals as you like while the event is active.

Each card is color-coded to indicate the type of item contained within. A blue card represents a Select collection gun skin, a green card indicates a Deluxe collection gun skin, a purple card signifies a Premium edition gun skin, and a yellow card is reserved for melee skins. Typically, you can expect to find at least two knives or Premium Edition skins in each Night Market. However, only two skins for the same weapon can show up, barring those from the same bundle.

You can enjoy discounts reaching up to 49 percent on skins in the Night Market. Since these discounts are random, not all offers may appeal to you. Nonetheless, even a small discount is better than paying full price.

I’m particularly interested in the Sovereign Vandal–admired by many as one of the best Vandal skins ever. If you haven’t created your wishlist yet, consider checking out our VALORANT weapon skin tier list to help you. Unfortunately, you won’t have control over the skins that are revealed from the cards. Players are assigned unique sets of skins and discounts based on luck. However, you won’t receive a duplicate skin that you already own, which is a positive aspect.

Can You Reroll or Refresh Your Night Market in VALORANT?

Unfortunately, you cannot reroll your cards or refresh the offers you receive in a VALORANT Night Market. Once your cards are rolled, the offers remain unchanged for the duration of the event.

If you believe you have experienced the «worst Night Market ever,» rest assured that many players feel the same way. Only a select few in the VALORANT community are fortunate enough to roll the skins they desire at such attractive discounts, and this has always been part of the experience. Better luck next time!

Can You Refund Night Market Skins in VALORANT?

Yes, similar to skins acquired from the standard shop, you can refund the VALORANT skins you’ve bought from a Night Market. However, the skin must not have been used in a match. If you’ve used it in a Deathmatch or other game modes, you will not qualify for a refund–officially.

You can always file a refund request for legitimate reasons. Riot Support may occasionally make exceptions based on your situation.
