The VALORANT Game Changers Grand Final 2026 takes place on Sunday, November 1 at 6 PM GMT. Gentle Mates GC face KRÜ Blaze at Riot Games Arena São Paulo in a best-of-five series, with three map wins needed to claim the championship.
It’s the last standalone Game Changers world championship, and Riot is offering the Mais Que Amigas Spray to eligible viewers during the final. Here’s when the match starts where you live, how the finalists reached this point and where you can watch it.

Where to watch the Grand Final live
Watch the VALORANT Game Changers Grand Final 2026 on Riot’s official VALORANT Twitch channel, VALORANT Kick channel or VALORANT Esports YouTube channel. Approved co-streamers will also carry the event.
YouTube is fine for watching the match, but Riot specifically names Twitch and Kick for Drops. To earn a viewing reward, link your Riot Account to the streaming account you’re using and make sure the broadcast qualifies.
Mais Que Amigas Spray and BRABA Title requirements
The Mais Que Amigas Spray is earned by watching at least 30 minutes during the November 1 Grand Final on an eligible Twitch or Kick stream. You don’t need to buy anything or predict the winner.
The BRABA Title is a separate promotion. From October 30 through November 1, you need 30 minutes on an eligible on-site co-streamer. Riot is sharing eligible-creator details through its official social channels, so don’t assume any channel showing the match qualifies.
The MIGA Title was available from October 22 to October 31 and its earning window has ended. Our Game Changers Twitch Drops guide explains how to link your account and tells you which rewards can still be earned.
How to follow the result and scores
Riot’s official VALORANT Esports website carries the live bracket and final results. The VALORANT Game Changers Grand Final 2026 has not started at the time of this pre-match update, so there is no confirmed champion or series score to report yet.
The championship began on October 22 with ten teams from around the world. Only Gentle Mates and KRÜ remain for the deciding match in São Paulo. Once the series finishes, the final score belongs in this article rather than a speculative prediction.
For UK viewers, the essentials are 6 PM GMT, Gentle Mates versus KRÜ and a best-of-five final. Watching 30 minutes of an eligible broadcast earns the Mais Que Amigas Spray; the BRABA Title has its own co-streamer requirement.
