The Red Bull Home Ground World Final is coming to Berlin. In November, the eight best Valorant teams will compete for the title at the Arena Berlin. Defending champions Fnatic, Karmine Corp and Fokus Clan are already confirmed.

After the success of the Red Bull Home Ground last year, the professional Valorant tournament is coming to Germany for the first time. From 20 to 23 November 2024, the eight best professional teams will compete for the title in the World Final at the Arena Berlin. Eight Valorant teams will be competing, including last year's winners Fnatic from England, who have already won the VCT Global Event twice. They will be joined by Karmine Corp from France, who will be hoping to build on their success at the VCT EMEA Kick-off. Also confirmed is Germany's most followed (according to their own information) esports and gaming team Fokus Clan, who last appeared at the Red Bull Home Ground in 2022.

The Red Bull Home Ground World Final kicks off with the play-in phase on Wednesday 20 November, followed by the group phase on Thursday 21 November - both days will be streamed live online on Twitch and YouTube. From Friday 22 November, the quarter-finals and first semi-final will be shown live in the Arena Berlin and streamed live, before the second semi-final and grand final take place on Saturday 23 November. More than 2,000 tickets are available for fans.

With eight teams competing in the World Finals at the Arena Berlin, the remaining five spots will be filled by the winners of the USA, APAC and EMEA qualifiers, as well as the top two teams from the play-in phase. The national online qualifiers in Germany will take place from 6 to 8 September and 13 to 15 September. Registration is currently open at projectv.gg. The top two teams from each qualifying round will advance directly to the national final, which will take place online on 21 September. The live stream will be hosted on Red Bull Zockt 100, Red Bull's German-language Twitch channel.

Jeep is a new Red Bull Home Ground partner this year, while Blacklyte is the official gaming chair partner and AGON by AOC is the official monitor partner.
