While VALORANT doesn’t have actual seasons, its progression system is based on an interesting model, featuring a single “Season” and multiple “Acts” in it. If you want to know more about competitive seasons, season dates, and the next VALORANT Act, you’ve come to the right place.

Starting in 2025, VALORANT shifted to a new seasonal format, featuring a year-long Season that hosts six Acts of two months each. Previously, there were “Episodes” that ran for six months with three two-month Acts in them. Everything is essentially the same, but players can now enjoy a seamless yearly seasonal transition instead of switching every six months.

With every Act comes a major update, which treats VALORANT players to new content like agents, maps, and modes. This design gives the community enough time to enjoy the additions without overloading them with too much new content, keeping the game fresh and fun. To help you keep track, here’re the start and end dates of all VALORANT Episodes, Seasons, and Acts so far.

All VALORANT Act start and end dates

To make it easier, we’ve added seperate tables for Acts in the old Episode model and the current Season model.
