Rumor: Eintracht Frankfurt Reaches Final Stage of VCT 2027 Partner Selection
According to reports from the insider account valohabercisi, Eintracht Frankfurt has reached the final stage of the selection process for VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2027 partner organizations.
Potential partnership status
The leak suggests that the German club is currently a leading candidate for a partnership slot. The source indicates that Eintracht Frankfurt is currently ahead of FOKUS in the selection process. However, a final decision regarding the club's candidacy has not been officially confirmed by Riot Games or the organization itself.
Context and tournament structure
The news comes ahead of significant structural changes to the professional VALORANT scene. Starting in 2027, Riot Games will implement a new system where partner teams receive guaranteed spots in initial tournaments, while non-partnered teams must compete through open qualifiers to participate in major regional events.
In the 2026 season, Eintracht Frankfurt competed at the highest regional level, reaching the VCT 2026: EMEA Stage 2 Play-In. The team secured a 2:0 victory over Gentle Mates before being eliminated 1:2 by GIANTX, missing out on the playoffs.
