The VALORANT Champions 2026 skin bundle is finally here. Let’s recap everything players need to know about the set, including what items it has, how much it might cost, and its release date.

Riot Reveals the VALORANT Champions 2026 Skin Bundle

VALORANT Champions Shanghai is shaping up to be the biggest event of the title’s competitive year. It’s the first-ever world championship held in China, shining a spotlight on a new VALORANT region. Plus, we’re seeing plenty of fresh faces, like Karmine Corp and Global Esports, take to the staage for the first time.

Esports fans and casual players alike are excited for another key aspect of the tournament. Riot Games’ yearly Champions skin bundles bring flair to the game, with unique designs commemorating the competition. We’ve seen VALORANT Champions 2026 skin bundle leaks for a while, indicating the set would probably include a Phantom. Now, Riot has just revealed the full Champions 2026 skin bundle set, and it’s even better than players were expecting.

Early on September 17, Riot released a skin bundle trailer on the official VALORANT YouTube account. Here, we got to see the Champions 2026 bundle in action, as well as an in-depth look at the cosmetics’ designs.

What’s in the New VALORANT Bundle?

This year’s set does include a Phantom, which has a fiery, dragon-inspired design. The melee knife is also a fan, which is a stylish variation from previous bundles and gives a nice nod to Chinese culture.

Both weapons have two color variants. They come in a bright, flaming red and a glowing gold. They also have unique VFX, animations, and a finisher. In addition, there are other accessories in the set. The full bundle includes:

  • Phantom
  • Fan Melee
  • Playercard
  • Spray
  • Gunbuddy

VALORANT Champions 2026 Skin Bundle Release Date

The new VALORANT Champions skins will go live on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. Players will be able to purchase them in the in-game shop. Exact rollout time will vary depending on the player’s region and server location.

The skins will be a limited-time launch, so grab them while you can! They’ll probably be available throughout VALORANT Champions 2026, which runs from September 24 to October 18, 2026.

How Much Does the VALORANT Champions 2026 Skin Bundle Cost?

Riot hasn’t released an exact cost for the bundle yet. That said, multiple leakers are estimating the Champions 2026 set will cost somewhere between 6,200 VP – 6,500 VP (about 70-75 USD). You’ll have to pay for them with premium currency (VALORANT Points), which costs real-world money.

How to Buy the New VALORANT Skins

  • Launch the game and reach the main menu. Open Valorant and look for the Store tab, easily accessible from the main lobby.
  • Browse the daily store or featured bundles. Your personal store refreshes every 24 hours with a random skin selection, while the Bundle Store offers full weapon collections and the Night Market pops up occasionally with discounted skins.
  • Pick the skin or bundle you like. The Champions 2026 skin bundle will probably appear in the Featured bundles tab, so it’ll be easy to spot. Click on any item to see its price, weapon type, and a closer look at the design.
  • Check your VP balance. Valorant skins are purchased using Valorant Points, the game’s premium currency, so confirm you have enough before buying.
  • Add VP to your account if needed. If your balance is too low, select the option to buy more Valorant Points, available in different pack sizes for real money.
  • Confirm the purchase. Once you’ve got enough VP, click buy and confirm to add the skin to your collection.
  • Equip the skin in your loadout. Head to the Collection tab, select your weapon, and equip the new skin so it shows up in your next match.
