Riot Games has announced the ticket sales schedule for the 2026 VCT Pacific Stage 2 (Stage 2), the second regular season of 'VALORANT' this year. Stage 2 kicks off on July 16 at the SOOP Sangam Colosseum in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and tickets will be available for purchase starting July 2 via NOL Ticket.

While the previous 2026 VCT Pacific Stage 1 served as the stage to determine the teams advancing to Masters London, this Stage 2 will decide which teams will compete in Champions Shanghai, the most prestigious esports tournament in the game.

The tournament format features a group stage where 12 teams are divided into Alpha and Omega groups. The top two teams from each group advance directly to the playoffs, while the remaining eight teams move to the newly established 'Play-In Stage.' In the Play-In Stage, the top four teams from the 2026 WDG VALORANT Challengers Korea Split 2 will join to compete in a double-elimination tournament for four playoff spots.

The eight teams that survive this stage will continue to compete in the playoffs, with the tournament's grand finale, including the lower bracket final and the grand final, taking place in Busan. A total of four teams will secure tickets to Shanghai: the two teams that reach the grand final in Busan, Paper Rex (PRX), who already qualified for Champions Shanghai based on their performance at Masters London, and the team with the highest accumulated championship points.

Tickets for the Stage 2 group stage can be purchased starting July 2 at 5:00 PM KST via NOL Ticket (Interpark Ticket). Fans residing overseas can use NOL World (Interpark Global). The ticket sales schedule for the final week in Busan will be announced separately at a later date.

All matches of the tournament will be broadcast live via SOOP, Chzzk, and YouTube. Detailed schedules and the latest news can be found on the official VALORANT esports website.
