The Champions 2026 Collection will include Phantom and knife skins

Every year, Riot Games releases a limited skin set dedicated to the year's main event Valorant Champions. Although the 2026 tournament is still a few weeks away, dataminers have already found references to upcoming limited skins in the game files. These collections are traditionally among the most sought-after in the game, since they combine top-tier visual effects with the prestige of being tied to the biggest event of the year

According to well-known insider and dataminer valohabercisi, the upcoming Champions Collection 2026 skin set will, despite players' requests, still only include two skins: one for a rifle and one for a knife. Since the 2025 set included a Vandal, this year Riot Games will release a skin for the Phantom and a knife.

The dataminer also stated that the skins will have additional upgrade levels. The Phantom skin will have 4 levels, unlocking new animations, sound effects, and a finisher effect as players progress. The knife skin will also have 3 upgrade levels.

As a reminder, per Riot's rules, the unique limited Champions Collection set can only be purchased during the Champions event. After that, the skins won't be available for purchase anywhere they won't appear in the Night Market rotation or in the Valorant store's daily offers.
