VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA 2025: Week 4 Schedule

The VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA 2025: Week 4 is set to begin. This season, the 12 best teams in the region will compete for the championship title, prize pool, and the opportunity to qualify for the upcoming Masters Toronto. A strong performance in the group stage will be crucial for teams aiming to secure a spot in the playoffs and ultimately fight for victory.

Week 4: VCT EMEA 2025 Match Schedule

The third week of the regular season will take place from April 16 to April 18, featuring six matches:

With two matches per day, fans will have plenty of tier-1 VALORANT action to enjoy, making up for the long wait between seasons.

Tournament Format

The VCT EMEA 2025 group stage will run from March 26 to April 25. The tournament features 12 teams split into two groups of six. Each team will play a single match against every opponent in their group, with all matches being played in a Best-of-Three format. At the end of the group stage, the top four teams from each group will advance to the playoffs. The group winners will move directly to the upper bracket semifinals, while the second and third-placed teams will start in the first round of the upper bracket. Fourth-placed teams will enter the lower bracket in the first round.

The playoffs will take place from May 8 to May 18, following a double-elimination format. All matches, except for the lower bracket final and grand final, will be played as Best-of-Three. The lower bracket final and grand final will follow a Best-of-Five format.

Must-Watch Matches

One match worth highlighting is Team Vitality versus Apeks. Vitality suffered a crushing defeat against Team Heretics — their first loss to Heretics in the team's history. The big question now is whether Derke and his squad can bounce back and keep their hopes alive for qualifying for the upcoming Masters Toronto, especially considering that Vitality currently hold a 1-2 record, which is far from acceptable for a team of their caliber.

Another match to keep an eye on is Karmine Corp versus FUT Esports. FUT’s last match was, to put it mildly, disappointing. The Turkish squad stood no chance against Team Liquid, a team that isn’t exactly in top form themselves. Will FUT Esports be able to show their best game this time? We’ll find out on April 18.
