Red Bull Home Ground New York: Elite VALORANT Competition Takes Center Stage
Red Bull Home Ground is the pinnacle of the VALORANT OFF//SEASON schedule. Six invited teams will join a dozen qualifying teams from around the globe for four days of VALORANT action. In addition to can’t-miss competition, the event will capture the spirit of the game’s music, art, and creator culture. This includes meet-and-greets, creator appearances, and more for attendees to enjoy onsite.
This year, the historic century-old Manhattan Center – a venue celebrated for its architectural grandeur and legacy of legendary performances – will be transformed into an elite VALORANT battleground. This marks Red Bull’s return to the venue, which last hosted the Red Bull BC One World Final in 2009, and continues Red Bull’s tradition of converting unconventional spaces into unforgettable esports stages, similar to Red Bull Kumite 2024 in NYC.
