How to Watch VCT Masters London 2026: Valorant Finals Guide

How to Watch VCT Masters London 2026

The VCT Masters London 2026 is down to its final weekend, and it is the biggest Valorant event on the calendar right now. The Copper Box Arena in London has been the stage for two weeks of international play, and the grand final lands on Sunday, June 21. If you want to catch the closing stretch of the VCT Masters London 2026 playoffs, here is the full guide: schedule, where to stream, the format, and the teams still fighting for the title.

Masters London is the second international stop of the 2026 Valorant Champions Tour, and it doubles as a checkpoint on the road to Champions Shanghai later this year. Twelve teams arrived from four regions, and only a handful remain as the bracket narrows.

Schedule and Dates

The tournament ran from June 6 to June 21, 2026, moving from the Swiss Stage into the playoff bracket and now into its final matches.

• Swiss Stage: June 6 to June 10
• Playoffs: June 12 to June 21
• Grand Final: Sunday, June 21

By this weekend the bracket is in its decisive phase, with the lower bracket deciding who joins the grand final. Exact start times move with the broadcast, so check the live bracket before each session. All dates follow UK local time at the venue.

Where to Watch

Every match streams for free. The main broadcast runs on the official Valorant channel on Twitch, with a full mirror on YouTube. Riot also carries the event across a wide spread of platforms so you can watch wherever you already are, including SOOP Korea, CHZZK, SOOP Global, TikTok, Kick, and Facebook Gaming. If you miss a series live, the VODs land on YouTube shortly after.

To follow the bracket and match times in your own time zone, the Valorant hub on Esport Agenda keeps the schedule and results in one place.

Format

The eight-team playoff bracket is double-elimination. It combines the four teams that advanced from the Swiss Stage with the four regional first seeds that earned a direct route to the bracket. Every series is a best-of-three, with two exceptions: the lower bracket final and the grand final are both best-of-five, the format reserved for the moments that decide a champion.

The numbers behind it are serious too. The prize pool sits at roughly $1,000,000 (reported between $1,000,000 and $1,100,000 across outlets), and published breakdowns have the champions taking home around $350,000 along with 8 VCT Championship Points. Those points matter as much as the cash, since they feed directly into qualification for Champions Shanghai.

Teams to Watch

Eight teams reached the playoff bracket: G2 Esports, Xi Lai Gaming, EDward Gaming, FUT Esports, Paper Rex, LEVIATÁN, Team Heretics, and Team Vitality. Four of them earned direct seeds as regional champions, namely G2 Esports, Team Heretics, Paper Rex, and EDward Gaming.

Paper Rex carry the banner for the Pacific region and have the explosive, fast-paced style that travels well at international events. G2 Esports and Team Heretics give the Americas and EMEA genuine contenders at the top of the bracket, while EDward Gaming and Xi Lai Gaming keep China firmly in the conversation. LEVIATÁN, FUT Esports, and Team Vitality all fought through the Swiss Stage to get here, which tends to forge the kind of momentum that is dangerous in a single weekend.

In a double-elimination bracket this late, the lower bracket is where legends are made. One clean best-of-five run can carry a team from the brink of elimination all the way to the trophy.
