Professional VALORANT is growing at a rapid rate, with the evolving gameplay and proven Riot-driven ecosystem attracting fans, aspiring and established pros alike, and intrigued organizations. Heading into 2022, a lot of attention is being drawn to the VALORANT Champions Tour as it enters its second year.

One region to watch, in particular, is North America. In 2021, North American events were the most-watched of any regional VCT events and some of the best teams from NA were among the top finishers at the first international VALORANT LAN events at Masters.

After a rough end to the year at Champions, NA is looking to rebound during the 2022 campaign with a stacked region filled with teams ranging from dominant to promising. Here are all the North American VALORANT teams that are planning to compete in 2022.
