Riot Games opened applications for the eight VCT Americas partner teams that will begin a new two-year cycle in 2027, with selections based on community growth, fan engagement, business sustainability, and responsible operations. Current cycle participants such as Sentinels, NRG, 100 Thieves, G2 Esports, FURIA, MIBR, Leviatán, and KRÜ Esports hold advantages from established rosters and regional presence, while non-partner organizations can also apply through regional Riot contacts. The process runs through the end of the 2026 season, with final announcements expected after Champions 2026 concludes. Partner benefits include base stipends ranging up to $5 million annually, direct Kickoff entry, and revenue-sharing opportunities tied to performance and merchandise. Recent form, fan metrics, and organizational stability in the ongoing 2026 campaign will shape the evaluation ahead of the partnership decisions.
