The VALORANT Champions 2026 Bundle is finally starting to take shape, with a new leak giving players their clearest look yet at this year’s exclusive Champions cosmetics.
The leaked promotional image shared by OkiAim showcases a Champions 2026 Phantom alongside what appears to be an extravagant fan melee. Both cosmetics feature the familiar Champions aesthetic, combining black, white, gold, and glowing red details.
Riot has already teased the Phantom through the official Champions 2026 anthem video, while VALORANT Studios head Anna Donlon also appeared to tease a fan-shaped melee. Riot has not yet published the complete collection details, however.
In brief:
โข Champions 2026 will reportedly feature a Phantom and fan melee
โข The Champions 2026 Phantom is reportedly priced at 2,675 VP
โข Leaks point toward a September 23 or September 24 release
โข Riot has not yet confirmed the complete bundle price or all included cosmetics
VALORANT Champions 2026 Bundle First Look
The first clear look at the collection shows Riot sticking closely to the premium visual identity associated with Champions skins.
The Champions 2026 Phantom uses a predominantly black and white body surrounded by metallic gold detailing. Red energy can also be seen running through parts of the weapon, giving it a much more aggressive appearance when combined with the gold accents.
The leaked image appears to show different visual states of the Phantom, including one with significantly stronger red detailing.
The melee is arguably the more unusual part of the collection. Instead of another traditional knife, Riot appears to be introducing a folding fan-inspired melee weapon decorated with white panels, sharp gold elements, and Champions styling.
Earlier data mining reports already pointed toward the 2026 collection containing only a Phantom and melee. Those reports also indicated that the Phantom has four upgrade levels while the melee has three.
Champions 2026 Phantom Price
According to the latest leak, the Champions 2026 Phantom will cost 2,675 VP when purchased separately.
And that price would be consistent with Riot’s previous Champions rifles, which have also used the 2,675 VP price point.
Current pricing information looks like this:
โข Champions 2026 Phantom: 2,675 VP
โข Champions 2026 Melee: Not confirmed
โข Complete Champions 2026 Bundle: Not confirmed
Riot has yet to announce the final bundle price. For comparison, the Champions 2024 collection cost 6,167 VP, while the expanded Champions 2025 collection cost 6,620 VP.
Because of that, players should treat any exact full bundle price currently circulating as unconfirmed until Riot publishes the official store details.
VALORANT Champions 2026 Bundle Release Date
The VALORANT Champions 2026 Bundle is reportedly expected to release on September 23 or September 24, depending on regional store reset times.
With Champions Shanghai beginning on September 24, Riot should not keep the collection under wraps for much longer.
The Phantom has now effectively been teased through official Champions promotional material, while the newly leaked image gives players a much better look at both the rifle and fan melee.
