Okay, so I’ve been grinding Valorant lately, trying to hit that next rank before the Act ends. But here’s the thing – I kept seeing different dates thrown around online, and I was confused. When exactly does this Valorant Act end? I needed the exact time to plan my gaming sessions.
First, I checked the in-game Battle Pass section. It has a countdown timer, but it just wasn’t specific enough for me. I wanted the exact date and time, not just “in X days”.

So, I started digging around the internet. I found a lot of articles and forum posts, but they all seemed to give general timeframes, like “each Act lasts about 2 months”. Yeah, I got that part, but I wanted to know precisely when to expect the current Act to wrap up.
I stumbled upon some info about Episode 9 Act 1, which apparently started on July 25, 2024. And get this, it is ending on August 27 or 28, 2024, depending on where you live. That’s when the current battle pass expires, too. So, I figured I had roughly less than 13 days to finish it up and grab those sweet, sweet cosmetics.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I learned:
- Episode 9 Act 1: Started July 25, 2024, ending August 27/28, 2024.
- Episode 9 Act 2: The competitive queue for this one ends on October 23 and 24, 2024. That means the act also ends on these days.
- Episode 9 Act 3: Based on the pattern, this should end around January 7, 2025.
- Episode 10 Act 1: Mark your calendars for January 8, 2025! It will start then.
Now, keep in mind, these dates are what I pieced together from different sources, including an official confirmation from Riot Games. It’s always a good idea to double-check the in-game countdown and keep an eye on official announcements, just to be sure.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my findings in case anyone else was as confused as I was. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some ranking up to do before this Act ends. Wish me luck!
