Red Bull Home Ground, an official off-season pro VALORANT tournament, is set to return for its third iteration, bringing together some of the world's most elite teams to battle it for victory from December 9th-11th. As an official part of the VCT Off-Season Tournaments, fans & players alike can expect VALORANT action at its highest level.

For the first time, Red Bull Home Ground has opened its doors to teams outside of Europe who are set to make waves going up against the EMEA's best teams, taking their best shot at the $100,000 prize pool. These invitations promise fierce competition as Red Bull Home Ground will witness rivalries reignite for the first time outside the VALORANT Champions Tournament. Before, we've seen EMEA battle it out on the Red Bull Home Ground Stage, but now it's time for the Americas teams to prove their skills.
