What Is The Schedule Of VALORANT V25A3 Premier Season?
Since the launch of VALORANT around 5 years ago, the game has had multiple new features. This includes new weapons, skins, and even game modes. One such game mode is Premier. The game mode focuses on providing an opportunity for new players to get into the esports ecosystem.
The goal of the VALORANT Premier game mode is to create a platform for new players in VALORANT Esports. Within this mode, fans can create their team in the game. After forming a team, they can compete against other teams within their respective rank. By winning their matches, teams earn points that determine their fate, deciding whether they qualify for the playoffs or not.
Each week of a given season, a schedule is in place for the weekly matches. Teams have to play two games on a given map. Below is the upcoming VALORANT Premier Schedule for V25A3:
- Week 1: May 7-11 | Map: Haven
- Week 2: May 14-18| Map: Lotus
- Week 3: May 21- 25| Map: Sunset
- Week 4: May 28 – June 1| Map: Pearl
- Week 5: June 4- 8| Map: Icebox
- Week 6: June 11-15| Map: Ascent
- Week 7: June 18-21| Map: Split
The playoffs of V25 Act 3 will take place from June 22 onwards. The winning team of the playoffs phase of a given rank will receive exclusive in-game items. It is worth noting that if a team is ranked in the highest tier of Premier (Contender) based on their region, they will also have a chance to qualify for the regional VALORANT Challengers League.

Has Premier Been A Successful Addition?
When the game mode was first launched, many fans had a mixed response towards it. Many felt that the hype for it would slowly die down with time. It can’t be proven that this is the case, but we have seen VALORANT make active changes within the game mode as well for the sake of competitive integrity.
One of the biggest success stories of Premier took place in the VCT Pacific during 2024. At that time, there was one team that proved that rising the ranks is possible. It was none other than the Korean team Sin Prisa Gaming.
During the 2024 season, they qualified for the Contender League within the Premier League. Following this, they won the playoffs stage and then qualified to play in the VALORANT Challengers League in Korea. During this League, they won the tournament, securing a spot for VCT Ascension Jakarta 2024.
Sin Prisa Gaming went on to win the tournament and qualify for the VCT Pacific League in 2025. Thus, proving that with determination and grit, this feat is possible.
