KitKat has become an official partner of the 2026 VCT EMEA (Valorant Champions Tour) and Game Changers EMEA seasons. "During 'breaks' such as halftime, technical pauses, and tactical pauses, KitKat will help fans stay energized after every spike plant, side switch, and thrilling overtime battle. Similarly, our live events, including our live Stage 2 Finals in Spain, will be enhanced with thundersticks, fansigns, and additional fun on-site activities provided by KitKat," states Riot Games.

In addition, Razer has signed a multiyear partnership with Valorant Esports (VCT EMEA and Game Changers EMEA), becoming the Official Gaming Chair Partner for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair will be used on stage and in the coaching and co-streaming rooms during the VCT EMEA and Game Changers EMEA tournaments. "Razer has consistently developed gear trusted by both professional and aspiring players and now, their equipment has earned the trust of others in the Valorant scene. Recently, VCT EMEA's Karmine Corp also announced Razer as their Official Partner including Gaming Chairs for the upcoming year – further proof of Razer’s commitment to elevating the competitive experience," said the VCT organisers.
