Riot Unveils the VALORANT Champions 2026 Skin Pack

VALORANT Champions Shanghai is set to be the biggest event of the competitive year. This is the first-ever World Championship to be held in China, drawing attention to a new VALORANT region. In addition, we’re seeing many new faces, such as Karmine Corp and Global Esports, making their debut on the stage.

Both esports fans and casual players are eagerly awaiting another key aspect of the tournament. Riot Games’ annual champion skin sets add a special touch to the game with their unique, competition-themed designs. We’ve been seeing leaks about the VALORANT Champions 2026 skin sets for some time now, which suggested that the set would likely include Phantom. Now, Riot has just unveiled the full set of skins for Champions 2026, and it’s even better than players expected.

Early in the morning on September 17, Riot posted a trailer for the skin collection on the official VALORANT YouTube channel. There, we got to see the Champions 2026 collection in action and take a closer look at the designs of the cosmetic items.

What’s included in the new VALORANT set?

This year’s set features “Phantom” with a fiery, dragon-inspired design. The melee knife is also a fan, which is a stylish departure from previous sets and pays a nice homage to Chinese culture.

Both weapons come in two color variants: bright crimson and shimmering gold. They also feature unique visual effects, animations, and a finisher. Additionally, the bundle includes other accessories. The complete set includes:

• Phantom

• Fan Melee

• Playercard

• Spray

• Gunbuddy

How much does the VALORANT Champions 2026 skin bundle cost?

Riot has not yet announced the exact price of the bundle. However, according to estimates from several insiders, the Champions 2026 bundle will cost between 6,200 and 6,500 VP (about $70–$75). You’ll have to pay for them with premium currency (VALORANT Points), which costs real money.

How to Buy New VALORANT Skins

• Launch the game and go to the main menu. Open VALORANT and find the “Store” tab, which is easily accessible from the main lobby.

• Browse the Daily Shop or recommended bundles. Your personal store is refreshed every 24 hours with a random selection of skins, while the Bundle Store offers complete weapon collections, and the Night Market occasionally features discounted skins.

• Select the skin or set you want. The Champions 2026 skin set will likely appear in the “Recommended Sets” tab, so it will be easy to spot. Click on any item to see its price, weapon type, and take a closer look at the design.

• Check your VP balance. Valorant skins are purchased with Valorant Points, the game’s premium currency, so make sure you have enough before buying.

• If necessary, add VP to your account. If your balance is too low, select the option to purchase additional Valorant Points, which are available in various bundles for real money.

• Confirm your purchase. Once you have enough VP, click “Buy” and confirm to add the skin to your collection.

• Equip the skin on your gear. Go to the “Collection” tab, select your weapon, and equip the new skin so it appears in your next match.
