Maps are a core part of what makes VALORANT exciting. Each one has unique layouts and gimmicks that can either work in your favour or completely ruin your ranked grind if you’re unprepared. Riot Games maintains an active VALORANT map rotation by cycling maps in and out, so you don’t have to handle them all at once.
There are a total of 12 VALORANT ranked maps in 2026, and only seven of them remain in rotation at a time for the Competitive, Premier, and Deathmatch queues. Other modes include all maps in their pools.
Here’s an overview of the current VALORANT Competitive map pool as of Season V26, Act One.
