The VCT in 2027: Where We’re Headed

For some VALORANT viewers, the next season's announcement comes down to a practical question: can they finally go? Under the official VCT trailer, Manila viewers talk about saving up, while one commenter celebrates being able to attend an event that happens to be Champions itself.

"The VCT in 2027: Where We're Headed" announces a tour across 15 cities, ending with Champions in Austin, Texas. The promotional trailer has drawn about 128,000 views in 16 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for Shorts. Its comment section is also much busier than a normal first day, with host cities supplying much of the conversation.

There is no presenter or voiceover. A glowing VCT emblem sends a beam across a world map before the itinerary appears: regional Kickoffs in São Paulo, Berlin, Bangkok and Hangzhou, followed by Cups stretching from Mexico City to Shanghai. Seoul and Valencia get the Masters events; Austin's reveal arrives amid tournament crowds and trophy lifts.

The announcement lands while Champions Shanghai is still underway, with the channel's finals-weekend preview turning to LOUD, Vitality, G2 and 100 Thieves. Alongside the short city reveal, the longer "The VCT in 2027: The Global Tour" is also drawing an unusually strong audience. Its description adds a date for players rather than spectators: open qualifiers begin in November.
