Esports Nations Cup VALORANT Qualifiers Schedule and How to Watch

This Sunday, June 28, the final matches of the various qualifiers for the Esports Nations Cup VALORANT tournament will take place online across the globe. Throughout the weekend, nearly 80 national teams, split across eight regional qualifiers spanning every continent, competed for a chance to secure a spot at the Main Event, which will be held in Riyadh from November 8 to 15.

Divided into eight qualifiers based on their respective regions, all participating teams battled through double-elimination brackets played entirely in Best-of-One format. Only the decisive matches on this final day will be played as Best-of-3 series. Across each qualifier, four teams remain in contention for the final two qualification spots, with the winners joining the 16 national teams already invited to the final event.

For VALORANT, unlike League of Legends, the MEA qualifier, which includes the MENA region and sub-Saharan Africa, was split into two parts, resulting in just one spot up for grabs and only three teams competing on the final day.

For Friday's and Saturday's matches, coverage is available through watch parties or the players' individual streams on different plateforms, although not every match is being broadcast. All of these final stages will be broadcast live on the official Esports Nations Cup Twitch and YouTube channels, with multiple broadcast teams covering the action throughout the day. The schedule is as follows, with the Winner Bracket qualification match streamed first, followed by the decisive Lower Bracket match.
