Red Bull Home Ground Returns for VALORANT in US Debut

Red Bull Gaming is amping up the VALORANT community once again thanks to the return of Red Bull Home Ground during the VALORANT OFF//SEASON. For the first time, the tournament will be heading to the US, debuting at the the Manhattan Center in New York City, NY. 

Taking place from November 13-16, 2025, 18 top VALORANT squads will be battling it out for a share of the $100,000 prize pool. Six invited teams will join 12 qualifying teams from around the world, centering on New York across the four-day event. The first officially invited team, Sentinels, were the winners of last year's Masters Madrid and are a recent addition to Red Bull Gaming. Red Bull Players Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo and Tarik ‘tarik’ Çelik, a New York native, will join fans onsite.

Fans can also expect to see other invited heavyweights, including Fnatic, T1, ZETA Division, and G2 Esports. The final invited team is expected to be announced in the coming months. 

Regional qualifiers are currently taking place around the world for a spot at Red Bull Home Ground. Qualifying teams will then face a tough Play-In Stage in New York City on November 13, all for a chance to advance to the main stage and challenge the six invited teams in a double-elimination bracket.
