During the enrollment periods, prospective players can spend time finding teammates and enrolling their teams based on average skill ranking and closest regional zones. Teams play weekly matches on pre-selected maps, with the season concluding with a tournament to crown a winner of each skill division. Teams can also participate in practice queue matches to get warmed up with no points on the line before the official weekly matches.

Of course, when finding teammates, you’ll need to make sure the players you sign up with are free to compete during the appropriate time. The exact queue windows will be different by zone, but here’s the full schedule of matches for the Episode Eight, Act Two Premier season.

VALORANT Premier match schedule

The current season of Premier starts on March 13. Players and teams have until 4pm CT on March 13 to finalize team creation.

There will be one-hour practice windows on Wednesdays and Fridays, with best-of-one matches on the active map of the week.

For official weekly matches, teams will earn 100 points for a win, 25 for a loss, and no points if they do not play. Teams with at least 675 points will qualify for the tournament at the end of the season. Up to two matches are played per week for each team.
