Riot Games has released the schedule for the upcoming season of Premier mode, which will begin alongside the new Episode in VALORANT. The schedule was published on the game’s official page on social media platform X.

On June 19, the schedule for the new Premier season was revealed. Additionally, changes to the map pool were announced. Pearl and Split will be removed from the active map pool, while Bind will return and a brand-new map is set to debut with the new Episode. Each week will feature competition on a specific map from the following list:

• Week 01 – Ascent – July 2–6
• Week 02 – Bind – July 9–13
• Week 03 – Haven – July 16–20
• Week 04 – New Map – July 23–27
• Week 05 – Icebox – July 30 – August 3
• Week 06 – Sunset – August 6–10
• Week 07 – Lotus – August 13–16
• Playoffs – August 17

As you can see, the season will begin on July 2 and conclude with the playoff stage on August 17. In addition to rewards like the Astra player card and a gun buddy (depending on your achievements), players also have the opportunity to progress from Premier mode into Challengers — the professional tier-2 league.
