Badalona hosts VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA finals

The VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA finals are being held at the Palau Olímpic in Badalona, Spain, from August 28 to 30. This marks the first time the European circuit's final phase has moved from Berlin to Spanish territory.

Four teams—FUT Esports, Karmine Corp, Team Liquid, and Fire Flux Esports—are competing for the continental title and two direct qualification spots for the VALORANT Champions 2026 tournament in Shanghai. The event also serves to determine additional regional representation based on championship points.

Organized by Riot Games, the event integrates competitive gaming with music and culture. The program includes a free Fan Zone, content creator matches, and a live performance by Catalan artist Mushkaa, who will perform a version of the VALORANT anthem, ‘Villain’, before the grand final.
