Valorant Champions Paris 2025

The tournament schedule spans nearly a month, beginning in mid-September and concluding in early October. Competition opens with the group stage, where teams face each other in best-of-three (Bo3) series. This phase sets the tone for the event, as only the strongest lineups advance to the playoff rounds.

The group stage kicks off on September 12 with matches such as PRX vs XLG and GX vs SEN. Over the following days, other notable clashes include NRG vs EDG and TL vs DRX. Each encounter follows the same Bo3 structure, ensuring consistent match lengths and competitive balance.

By September 15, teams like BLG, MIBR, RRQ, and FNC enter the spotlight. From September 17 to September 22, the remaining group stage matches are set, though many pairings remain to be determined until results dictate the progression. This approach keeps the bracket flexible while maintaining a clear timeline.

After a short break, the playoff stage begins on September 25. These rounds continue with Bo3 matches, giving teams limited room for error. The playoffs span several days, with multiple fixtures scheduled between September 25 and September 29.

The final weekend in October shifts to high-stakes encounters. On October 3, the Upper Bracket Final and Lower Bracket Semifinal take place, both in Bo3 format. The Lower Bracket Final follows on October 4, played as a best-of-five (Bo5) series, allowing more depth and adaptation between teams.

The tournament concludes on October 5 with the Grand Final, also a Bo5. This closing match crowns the world champion and determines the ultimate winner of the event.
