VALORANT launches Night Queue challenge

Riot Games has launched the Night Queue challenge, a limited-time event in VALORANT that rewards players with in-game cosmetics.

Running from March 4th to 23rd, 2026, players strive to earn points by participating in matches, competing with friends, and submitting shorts online.

There are two stages to complete during the Night Queue event. Players must sign up for the challenge online with a Riot Games account before participating.

Warming Up is available for players to unlock from March 4th to 14th, 2026. VALORANT players are required to complete basic quests to reach 500 points in total, after which they will receive the ‘Hari Raya Homecoming’ playercard.

These are all the quests listed for Warming Up:

The next stage is Night Owl, which can be unlocked from March 14th to 23rd, 2026. This challenge features more difficult challenges that can be completed in competitive, unrated, swiftplay or spike rush.

Reaching 500 points in the Night Owl will reward players with the ‘Last Round Before Dawn’ player card.

These are the quests available to complete for Night Owl:

Players can also participate in the WINGMAN’s Corner challenge, where they can submit shorts using the WINGMAN effect on TikTok. The filter itself centres around Wingman, mimicking the ability used by the in-game agent Gekko.

Not only can points be obtained by participating, but approved players who submit a video in the creative challenge will also receive an ‘Alarmboi Out’ spray.

All rewards earned during the Night Queue event can be obtained from the ‘Rewards’ tab, located within the ‘Profile’ section of the For The Win challenge platform.
