Valorant Night Market 2026 — Complete Guide
The Night Market is Valorant's periodic sale event where players get randomized discounts on skins. Here is everything you need to know.
What Is the Night Market?
The Night Market is a limited-time event that appears roughly every 2 months. When active, you get 6 randomly selected skin offers at discounted VP prices.
Key rules:
- 6 random skins from your unowned collection (see the full Valorant skin price list for what each tier costs)
- Discounts range from 10% to 50% off
- You cannot reroll — the 6 skins are final
- Lasts approximately 2 weeks
- Does NOT include skins from the last 2 acts

| Night Market 3 | May–June 2026 |

Is Night Market Worth Waiting For?
Wait if:
- You are not in a rush for a specific skin
- You have VP saved up and want more value
- The skin you want is from an older collection (eligible for Night Market)
Don't wait if:
- You want a specific skin that is currently in the daily store
- You want a brand new skin from the current act (excluded from Night Market)
- The skin you want is from a premium bundle (Elderflame, Champions — these rarely appear)
VP Cost: Night Market vs Third-Party
Even with a 50% Night Market discount, third-party VP is still cheaper:
| Method | 1,775 VP Skin Cost |
|---|---|
| Full price (official) | $17.75 (at $10/1K VP) |
| 50% Night Market | $8.88 |
| Third-party VP | ~$4.44 (at ~$2.50/1K VP) |
Third-party VP at ~$2.50 per 1,000 is equivalent to a permanent 75% discount versus official pricing. See our cheapest Valorant Points comparison for the full breakdown.
