Night Market 2025 dates

If you’ve got some skins on your wishlist and are wondering when the next Night Market is scheduled to go live, we’ve got you covered with the information you need.

With Riot Games releasing a new skin collection every few weeks, players are never short of new VALORANT skins to add to their inventory. That said, these cosmetics aren’t cheap, and not all of us can afford to get bundles or skins at their original price tags. Here’s where Night Markets come in to save the day by offering unique discounts on skins for you to grab. But there’s a catch.

If you’re looking for all VALORANT Night Market dates in 2025, upcoming Night Market dates, eligible skins, or are simply curious about how the event works, our guide is everything you need.

When is the next VALORANT Night Market? V25, Act Two date

The Night Market isn’t available in VALORANT at the time of writing. That said, it’s expected to return sometime near Season V25, Act Two’s conclusion, which is scheduled for April 30 according to the in-game timer. As per trends since Episode One, the Night Market usually goes live a couple of weeks before an Act ends in VALORANT, so we can expect Season V25, Act Two’s Night Market to go live on or around April 15 and be available until April 29. Keep your eyes peeled for official announcements.

VALORANT’s vast library of weapon skins has been building up since 2020. While the shop’s daily rotating section gives you a chance to purchase skins after the collection leaves the featured section, it doesn’t offer any discounts on the price. On the other hand, the Night Market lists skins at a discounted rate, but you may or may not roll the skins you want. It depends on luck.

All VALORANT Night Market dates

Here are all the Night Market dates hosted in VALORANT so far.

Which is the longest Night Market in VALORANT?

Hosted in Episode One, Act Three, the inaugural Night Market was live for more than a month, from Dec. 10, 2020, to Jan. 11, 2021, making it the longest-running Night Market in VALORANT so far.

All eligible skin collections in VALORANT Night Market (V25 Act Two)

Not all VALORANT skins are eligible to appear in a Night Market. Only gun and melee skins from a Select, Deluxe, and Premium edition collection can show up in this special shop event.

So, if you’re looking to grab an Araxys Vandal, Imperium Operator, or any other Exclusive or Ultra edition skin at the Night Market, unfortunately, it’s not possible. Skins classified as Agent gear or made available through the battle pass and melee skins priced above 3,550 VP aren’t included in the pool either.

For a collection to be eligible, it must have released at least two Acts prior to the one the Night Market is scheduled for.

With that said, here are all the eligible weapon collections for the upcoming VALORANT Night Market in V25, Act Two:

Some eligible Premium collections, namely Oni, Ion, Magepunk, Reaver, Sovereign, Valiant Hero, and XERØFANG, contain melee skins that are priced over 3,550 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?

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. And finally, yellow 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 for the Sovereign Vandal—arguably one of the best Vandal skins ever made—this time. If you don’t have a wishlist, have a look at our VALORANT weapon skin tier list to make one. 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.

Can you reroll Night Market skins in VALORANT?

No, you can’t reroll your cards or refresh the offers you get in a VALORANT Night Market. Once you roll your cards, you’re stuck with the same offers for the event’s remainder.

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. Better luck next time.

Can you refund Night Market skins in VALORANT?

Yes, like skins purchased from the regular shop, you can refund the VALORANT weapon skins you purchase from a Night Market. That said, you must not have used the skin in a match. If you’ve already tried the skin out in a Deathmatch or other modes, you won’t be eligible for a refund—officially.

You can always submit a refund request for genuine reasons. Riot Support may sometimes make an exception, depending on your case.
