Valorant Champions Tour EMEA (VCT EMEA) is one of four territories of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), a global competitive esports tournament series organised by the game's developer Riot Games. It consists of teams from the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, eight of which are partner teams and multiple non-partner teams as of the 2027 season, competing in open qualifiers and regional events throughout the year.
Launched in 2022 as one of three new franchised international leagues, it was one of the seven regions when the VCT was announced in 2020. In line with the VCT's return to an regional open qualifier system in 2027, the territory adopted qualification pathways for Europe, Türkiye, and Middle East and North Africa (MENA), serving as qualifiers for both Kickoff and Regional Cups.
VCT EMEA holds three events (Kickoff + Regional Cups) per year that serve as qualifiers for the annual Valorant Masters and Valorant Champions tournaments, respectively. The eight partner teams automatically qualify for Kickoff, but will have to qualify for Cups, Masters, and Champions through the open qualification system.
Teams from VCT EMEA have appeared in four Champions finals, including its maiden title in the tournament's inaugural edition with Ascend. Fnatic is also one of only two teams to have won multiple Masters titles, the other being Sentinels from VCT Americas.
