When is the next VALORANT Night Market? V26, Act two date
The next VALORANT Night Market (Season V26, Act two) kicks off on March 26 and will run until April 16, so you have almost a month to check the skins in your shop and decide whether you want to grab something or not.
A Night Market used to be available for a couple of weeks near the end of an Act. However, for the past few Acts, Riot has made them longer, lasting almost an entire month. And it seems that will remain the trend moving forward.

All eligible skin collections in VALORANT Night Market (V26 Act two)
Not all VALORANT skins are eligible to appear in the Night Market. Only gun and melee skins from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium edition collections have been released at least two Acts before can appear in this special shop event.
Other skins that aren’t available at the Night Market:
- Agent gear
- Battle pass skins
- Melee skins priced above 3,550 VP
Riot Games sometimes makes exceptions, though. BlastX, Glitchpop, and Singularity Exclusive collections were included in the Night Market pool of Season V25, Act three.
With that said, here are all the eligible weapon collections for the VALORANT Night Market in V26, Act one:
| Rarity | Collection |
|---|---|
| Select edition collections | Convex, Daydreams, Endeavour, Fortune’s Hand, Galleria, Infantry, Intergrade, Luxe, Prism II, Reverie, Rupture, Rush, Sensation, Smite, Storm Maw, Switchback, Wonderstallion |
| Deluxe edition collections | Abyssal, Altitude, Aperture, Aristocrat, Avalanche, Chromedek, Combat Crafts, Emberclad, Holomoku, Horizon, Kohaku & Matsuba, Luna, Minima, MK.VII Liberty, Nanomight, NO LIMITS, Nunca, Olvidados, Orion, Prism, Sakura, Sarmad, Silvanus, Snowfall, Team Ace, Tigris, Titanmail, VALORANT GO! Vol. 3, Wasteland, Winterwunderland |

Some eligible Premium collections, namely Bolt, Helix, Oni, Ion, Magepunk, Reaver, Sovereign, Valiant Hero, and XERØFANG, contain melee skins that are priced over 4,350 VP. Those melee skins, in particular, are not eligible for the Night Market, but the remaining gun and melee skins in the collections are.
How does VALORANT’s Night Market work?
Accessing a Night Market in VALORANT is pretty simple, but if you’re looking for a step-by-step guide, here’s everything you need to do to successfully roll your offers:
- As soon as the Night Market goes live in VALORANT, you should notice a small black card-like icon added to the top–right bar beside the VP counter.
- Click on it to open a special store page featuring six cards.
- Interact with the cards to reveal six skins at discounted rates. You can make the most of just one or multiple of those offers as long as the event is live.
Night Market cards are highlighted in four shades to depict the kind of collection or skin hiding behind them:
- Blue indicates a Select collection gun skin.
- Green indicates a Deluxe collection gun skin.
- Purple indicates a Premium edition gun skin.
- Yellow or Gold indicates a melee skin.
You can usually expect at least two knives or Premium Edition skins in a Night Market collection. Only a maximum of two skins for the same weapon can appear, but this rule doesn’t apply to skins from the same bundle.
You can get discounts of up to 49 percent on skins from a Night Market. The discounts are random, so you may not like all the offers you see. That said, even a small discount is better than paying the full price.
I’m eyeing the Sovereign Vandal—arguably one of the best Vandal skins ever made—this time. Unfortunately, we can’t control what those cards reveal. Players receive a unique set of skins and discounts based on their luck. That said, you won’t get a skin you already own, so that’s a relief.
Rerolling your Night Market in VALORANT, explained
If you think you’ve got the “worst Night Market ever,” believe it or not, most of us share the same thought. Only a few VALORANT players are lucky enough to roll the skins they really want at such amazing discounts, and that’s how it has always been.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to reroll your cards in a Night Market, so better luck next time.
How to refund Night Market skins in VALORANT
Like skins purchased from the regular shop, you can refund the VALORANT weapon skins you purchase from a Night Market:
- All you have to do is submit a support ticket to Riot explaining why you want a refund for the purchase.
- That said, you must not have used the skin in a match or even the Practice Range to be eligible for a refund.
If you’ve already tried the skin out in a Deathmatch or other modes, you won’t be eligible for a refund—technically.
Even if you don’t meet the criteria for a refund, you can still submit a request and explain your reason. Riot Support may sometimes make an exception, depending on your case.
