Valorant Night Market Guide 2026: How It Works & Tips

The Night Market is Valorant's random discount event where you get 6 skins at reduced prices. Here's everything you need to know about how it works, when it appears, and what skins you can get.

What Is the Night Market?

The Night Market is a recurring event in Valorant that gives each player 6 random weapon skins at discounted prices (typically 20-45% off). The skins offered are different for every player, and you have a limited time to purchase them before the Night Market closes.

When Does Night Market Appear?

Riot typically runs Night Market roughly every 2 months, usually coinciding with the midpoint of each Act. In 2026, Night Markets have appeared approximately every 6-8 weeks. Riot announces Night Market dates on their social media channels a few days before it opens.

Which Skins Can Appear?

Night Market can include skins from Select, Deluxe, and Premium Edition tiers. Ultra Edition and Exclusive Edition skins are NOT included — so you won't find Elderflame, Champions, RGX, or other top-tier skins in your Night Market.

Battle pass skins, agent contract skins, and skins from the last 2 months of store rotation are also excluded.

Tips for Night Market

• Night Market skins are completely random — there's no way to influence what appears
• You can only buy or skip each skin — no re-rolling
• If you see a skin you want at 40%+ off, it's generally worth buying
• Don't buy skins you don't want just because they're discounted
• Night Market never includes the best skins (Ultra Edition), so top-tier skins like Reaver, Champions, and Elderflame won't appear

Don't Want to Wait for Night Market?

Night Market only appears every 6-8 weeks, offers only 6 random skins, and never includes Ultra Edition skins. If you want access to every skin without waiting or spending money, Crystality lets you use all 500+ weapon skins instantly — including the Ultra Edition skins that Night Market never offers.
