About this season

This timer is maintained against Riot-owned sources and updated quickly when official Act timing changes are announced.

When Does Valorant Season 2026 Act 3 End?

Valorant Season 2026 Act 3 ends on June 24, 2026. The live countdown above tracks the exact rollover to Act 4, including the ranked reset, Battle Pass deadline, and Radianite point expiry.

Riot Games confirmed Act 3's end date through the in-game Battle Pass timer and official patch notes. The transition happens during a scheduled maintenance window — servers go offline for a few hours before Act 4 goes live with fresh ranked placement matches and a new Battle Pass.

How to Verify the Valorant Act End Date

The most reliable way to confirm when the current act ends is the Battle Pass screen in the Valorant client — the countdown timer in the top-right of the Battle Pass tab reflects Riot's official deadline. This page syncs to that same timestamp.

Riot also publishes the end date in patch notes and on the official Valorant site. Act transitions are always tied to a patch, so scheduled maintenance days are the earliest possible rollover point.

What Happens When the Valorant Act Ends

At act end, your ranked badge and RR (Rank Rating) are soft-reset — you keep your rank icon but must complete fresh placement matches to set your Act 4 rank. Any unfinished ranked goals or leaderboard grind stop counting.

The Battle Pass expires permanently. Any tiers you haven't unlocked are gone — there's no grace period, no VP refund, and no way to retroactively claim missed cosmetics. Claim every reward before the June 24 deadline.

Valorant Act 3 Battle Pass and Ranked Deadlines

Act 3 runs from April 29 to June 24, 2026 — approximately 55 days. The Battle Pass costs 1,000 VP and contains 50 tiers of weapon skins, gun buddies, sprays, player cards, and Radianite Points. Completing all 50 tiers also earns bonus XP that carries a portion of value into Act 4.

Ranked competitive is open for the full act. Players chasing Radiant or Immortal titles have until the act ends to finish climbing — leaderboard snapshots freeze at reset.

Battle Pass Tier Progress and XP Requirements

Each Battle Pass tier requires 2,000 XP by default. Daily and weekly missions provide the fastest XP — completing the full weekly mission set nets roughly 12,000–15,000 XP, enough to advance 6–7 tiers per week.

Players who purchase the Premium Battle Pass at 1,000 VP unlock all cosmetic tiers. The free track gives a smaller set of sprays and gun buddies but is available to all players at no cost.

Competitive Rank Reset and Act 4 Placements

Valorant's act system means ranked resets three times per year — once per act. Your Act 3 rank badge is preserved as a collectible in your profile, but your RR is soft-reset at act rollover.

Act 4 placement matches determine your starting rank for the new act. Most players place within 1–2 ranks of their Act 3 peak, with Immortal and Radiant players seeing a larger reset to encourage active climbing.

Frequently asked questions

When does Valorant Season 2026 Act 3 end?

Valorant Season 2026 Act 3 ends on June 24, 2026. The live timer on this page counts down to the official act rollover.

What time does the Valorant act end?

Valorant act transitions usually happen around Riot's scheduled patch and maintenance window. The countdown targets the official end timestamp and updates if Riot changes the timing.

When does Valorant Act 4 start?

Valorant Season 2026 Act 4 has not received a confirmed start time yet. It is expected after Act 3 ends on June 24, 2026.

What is the Valorant episode end date?

Valorant's current Season 2026 Act 3 ends on June 24, 2026. Riot has not confirmed the full episode finale timing yet, so this page tracks the current act deadline and updates when episode timing is announced.

Does Valorant ranked reset when Act 3 ends?

Yes. Valorant act transitions include ranked placement changes and a new Battle Pass. Finish ranked goals and claim Battle Pass rewards before Act 3 ends.

What is the Valorant RR (Ranked Rating) system and how does it work?

Valorant uses Ranked Rating (RR) instead of a traditional LP system. Each rank tier from Iron to Immortal holds 100 RR — reaching 100 RR promotes you to the next rank, while dropping to 0 demotes you. Radiant players have no RR cap and are ranked by total RR on the regional leaderboard. At the start of each act, your RR resets and you complete placement matches that place you near your previous peak, typically 1–2 ranks below your Act 3 high.
