Valorant Alpha vs. Omega Conflict Event: Join the Global Battle for Two Realities

Riot Games has launched the Valorant Alpha vs. Omega Conflict Event, a four-week global competition that plunges players into one of the game’s most ambitious storylines yet.

Starting on 7th January 2026, this event relates directly back to the Season 26 Act 1 cinematic, giving players the opportunity to choose which side they want to fight for while fighting for their own reality and claiming exclusive rewards. Your choices and performance will directly impact the outcome of the two parallel Earths in a high-stakes competition for survival!

Choose Your Side: Alpha or Omega

At the heart of the event is a clear choice: defend Alpha Earth with the Valorant Protocol or support Omega Earth, whose world is under threat. Players may choose their faction by taking a short quiz, or selecting manually. Once a player has chosen a faction, he or she cannot change it for the entire four week duration of the event.

All players must be accountable for all their choices for the duration of the event, and score points for their faction by completing weekly Challenges in the game of Valorant. You can earn points for your faction by completing all four weekly challenges, such as killing Bandit, winning competitive matches, or earning the highest number of assists in any game mode. Completing these challenges efficiently often depends on map awareness and positioning, which is why familiarity with layouts covered in All Valorant Maps can make a noticeable difference.

Event Format and Weekly Challenges

The event runs from January 7 to February 4, 2026, with four weekly challenges designed to test player skill and teamwork:

• Week 1 (January 7, 2026 to January 13, 2026): Achieve the highest number of kills using Bandit.
• Week 2 (January 14, 2026 to January 20, 2026): Win the most games in All Random One Site Mode. Don't know about this mode? Check out our Valorant All Random One Site Guide.
• Week 3 (January 21, 2026 to January 27, 2026): Provide the most assists in all game modes.
• Week 4 (January 28, 2026 to February 4, 2026): Earn the most points for your faction in Competitive Matches. Wins score 3 points, losses score 1 Point, average combat score is used to break ties.

The Weekly Leaderboards will track the best performers for both factions and show the current standings of both factions and will keep the competition alive for players all over the world.

Play Alongside Creators and Pros

One of the event’s most exciting aspects is the inclusion of over 130 content creators, co-streamers, broadcast talents, and professional players from EMEA, the Americas, and the Pacific regions.
