VCT: EMEA Stage 2 2026

About the tournament

VCT EMEA Stage 2 is the final regional VALORANT stage of the 2026 EMEA season, played at the top tier of the VCT circuit. Twelve partnered teams enter the group stage, split into two groups of six, with the best four from each group going straight to playoffs and the rest falling into play-ins. Four Challenger teams join that phase, giving lower-tier teams a route into the main bracket. The event runs from July 14 to August 29, 2026, and ends with the region’s qualification race for Champions.
