Riot Games has officially announced the VALORANT Team Capsules for 2026, giving you a fresh way to support your favorite VCT organizations as the new season gets underway.
The refreshed VALORANT bundles retain the same core idea as previous years, with team-branded cosmetics that funnel money directly back into partnered organizations. However, 2026’s versions arrive with some noticeable upgrades.
This year’s capsules once again revolve around the Classic, but the weapon has been updated with new visual effects to help it stand out from earlier editions. Each bundle also comes with an animated player card, a team spray, and a gun buddy, so you can kit out both your loadout and profile in matching colors.
Riot is also leaning into long-term fandom by adding an inspectable achievement tracker that highlights a team’s big wins at major events. That means your favorite team’s trophy case will now be visible in-game every time you flex their skin.
VALORANT Team Capsules 2026 release date and pricing
The 2026 Team Capsules will go live on Jan. 13 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 8pm CET, just ahead of the new VCT calendar really kicking in. New buyers will have to pay 2,320 VP for a capsule. However, if you already own that team’s 2024 or 2025 bundle, you’ll see a discounted price of 1,650 VP.
VALORANT Champions 2025 winners NRG receive special treatment inside their collection that includes extra visual touches that nod to their title run, including a trophy detail in the player card and on weapon inspect. Any team with a championship pedigree now gets a unique “Winner’s Flair” included in its capsule.
All four international leagues are represented, spanning VCT Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China, with all partnered teams getting their own capsule. Whether you follow FNATIC and DRX or newer contenders in China’s growing ecosystem, there is a team skin line tied directly to that org. Revenue collected from these cosmetics will continue to be shared with VCT organizations.
Apart from these new Team Capsules, VALORANT has also added a new sidearm in two years and a limited-time mode that features random Agents, free loadouts, and easy-to-get Ultimates for Season 26.
