VCT: Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 2026

About the tournament

VCT Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 is the final EMEA stop of the 2026 Game Changers season, the VALORANT circuit for the region. Fourteen teams compete online: the first phase is a single round-robin group stage played in BO3, followed by play-ins for the lower finishers and a double-elimination playoff bracket, with BO3 matches and BO5 for the deepest rounds. Scheduled for July 20 to August 30, 2026, the event carries a €35,000 prize pool and awards crucial circuit points. More importantly, it decides which teams stay alive for the late-season push and the path toward the Game Changers Championship.
