2026 VCT China is over, with TYLOO shocking the entire scene and lifting its first-ever regional trophy during Stage 2. With that, teams (except those that qualified for
VALORANT Champions Shanghai) have entered the offseason looking to sign new talent, while some will focus on retaining their top performers.
Multiple players and staff members are also entering free agency at the end of 2026, with some of them already confirming that they are exploring options
heading into 2027.
Moreover, Riot Games has made the journey more challenging for all teams starting next VCT season by introducing
Open Qualifiers and regional Cups. Fortunately, in China, both partnered and visitor organizations will receive direct invites to all regional tournaments.
As a result, the number of players and staff members having their contracts expire in 2026 is lower in the region compared to other international leagues. Taking the
VCT Global Contract Database into account,
Sheep Esports has curated a list of all VCT China players and staff members whose contracts are scheduled to get over in 2026.
All Trace Esports and All Gamers roster members have contracts running until the end of the 2027 or 2028 season, with AG’s Zhang "Bai" Zeyang locked in through the end of the 2029 VCT season.
