Format of the Championship:

From August 1-11, sixteen teams, split into four groups of four, will battle it out in a double-elimination, best-of-three format. The top two teams from each group will progress to the playoffs, held from August 14-18, continuing the same best-of-three, double-elimination structure.
The leading four teams will take a four-day break before the competition continues from August 23-25 at the INSPIRE Arena. On the first day, a new VALORANT Agent will be unveiled. Matches will begin at 16:00 SGT (GMT+8) during the initial phases, shifting to 15:00 for the final three days.
