Riot Games published its creator-program application schedule on May 1, 2026. This is not a new announcement today, but the VALORANT application window is currently active: it opened August 3 and closes August 28, 2026. League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics applications are scheduled for September and October. Riot says it will consider a creator's genuine connection to the game, positive impact on the community and an active, engaged audience. A very large following is not required. Accepted creators may receive unlocked Agents, community giveaway codes, complimentary battle passes, dedicated support and access to a Creator Hub with tools and opportunities. Somali creators making VALORANT content should check the official Creator Hub for full details and country restrictions before August 28. Applying does not guarantee acceptance, and Riot says further application opportunities are planned for the future.
