Valorant opens up a unique opportunity for players to snag new in-game skins at discounted rates through its Night Market. The kicker is that the discounted skins you get are random. Let's break down what the Night Market is, the schedule for 2023 & 2024, and when the next Night Market event is on the horizon.
What is the Valorant Night Market?
Riot Games added the Night Market to Valorant, creating a rotating store offering players a chance to grab fresh skins at reduced prices. This randomized store appears roughly every two months, or once during each Act. Think of it as Valorant's version of League of Legends' "Your Shop." Many players are interested in what kind of skins they are going to get, hoping for some of the more rare/premium editions.

When is the Next Valorant Night Market? Dates & Schedule (2023)
The Episode 7 Act 3 Night Market is set to go live on December 13th and will run until January 8th. Players will have a whole 26 days to check out the skins they got and buy the ones they are interested in at a significant discount.
The previous Night Market, Episode 7 Act 2, was available at the following times:
- 8 PM ET
- 1 AM BST
- 5:30 AM IST
- 2 AM CET
The Valorant Night Market typically becomes available every two months. We expect the next one to be accessible during February.
Considering the extended 26-day window for the new Night Market, the next iteration might be delayed to March. Either way, we advise players to save up their Valorant Points to get the most value out of the discounts.

Where to Find the Valorant Night Market
When you enter Valorant, you will find a small card logo at the top right-hand corner of your main menu screen. By clicking this icon, you will see six cards, which are going to be the your randomized weapons. Flip over the cards to reveal the featured skin and its associated discount percentage.
The background color and the shape in the bottom right-hand corner of the card indicate the skin's tier and rarity. The Valorant Night Market is a recurring in-game store appearing randomly once during each Act. It offers six different gun skins at discounted prices, with the skins being entirely randomized.

In response to early criticism, Riot introduced a Bad Luck Protection system back in December 2020 to ensure players don't leave disappointed. If you don't own every Premium Edition skin, you will receive at least two Premium skins in your pool. Additionally, you can no longer receive two skins for the same weapon in order to increase variety.
Can You Change Your Night Market Skins?
Once you've selected a skin in the Night Market, you cannot change it. While players have expressed interest in this feature, Riot has not implemented it. Nevertheless, now that the feature is recurring, receiving less desirable skins should be less frustrating than if it were a one-time event.
