The 2024 Valorant Champions will be the fourth edition of the Valorant Champions, the world championship esports tournament organized by Riot Games for the first-person shooter game Valorant. The tournament will run from August 1–25, 2024.

The home of VCT Pacific, Seoul, along with Incheon, South Korea will be hosting the crowning event of Valorant Champions Tour's 2024 competitive season in which the sixteen best Valorant teams in the world will compete to become the season's world champions.

History
On February 17, 2024, Riot Games announced that Seoul will play host to the Valorant Champions, the crowning event of the VCT 2024 season.

Qualified teams
Sixteen teams qualified for the global crowning event of the circuit, with teams either qualifying through their respective league after Stage 2 or through Championship Points.

Group stage
The group stage will take place preceding the playoffs. All 16 teams were divided into 4 groups of four teams each playing in a GSL-style double-elimination format. Games will be held in a best-of-three series. The top 2 teams in each group will qualify for the playoffs.

Draw Rules
16 Teams were drawn into 4 groups of 4 teams. Teams from the same region cannot be placed in the same group. If a team is drawn into the same group as another team from their region, they will be placed in the next valid group. Matchups were based on the seedings of each team, which were in turn determined by their performances in the playoffs of their respective regions. Teams that qualified via championship points are automatically placed in the 4th seed. 1st seed teams (playoffs winners of their respective regions) will initially face 4th seed teams, and 2nd seed teams will initially face 3rd seed teams.

Bracket
These are the groups and initial matchups as determined by the draw on July 21st. Teams with map pick/ban choice (i.e., the higher-seeded team or upper-bracket team) are marked by an asterisk.
