The 2024 Valorant Champions was the fourth edition of the Valorant Champions, the world championship esports tournament organized by Riot Games for the first-person shooter game Valorant. The tournament ran from August 1–25, 2024.[1] Seoul, along with Incheon, South Korea hosted the crowning event of Valorant Champions Tour's 2024 competitive season in which the sixteen best teams competed to become the season's world champions.[2]

Evil Geniuses were the defending champions, but failed to qualify after missing the Americas Playoffs and not having enough championship points.

"Superpower" (stylized in all caps), performed by Julie and Natty of Kiss of Life and Mark Tuan of Got7, was the official theme song for the tournament.[3]

Before the start of the grand final, Valorant's 26th agent and sixth Sentinel, Vyse, was revealed. She would eventually be available for play three days after the conclusion of the tournament.

Edward Gaming won the championship after beating Team Heretics in the grand final 3–2, resulting in China's first international trophy.

Zheng "ZmjjKK" Yongkang from Edward Gaming was named the MVP of the tournament.
