VALORANT Franchising: List of Teams to Apply So Far

Recently, Riot Games and the VALORANT Esports team released that they would be moving to a franchising league in 2023. Teams and orgs need to send in an application and Riot Games are going to choose however many teams there will be. The number for this is not known yet but if they follow their system and the way they did their League of Legends side, then 10 will likely be the starting number. This piece will like the VALORANT Franchising teams who have made it known that they are applying and the ones that will likely have applied.

Some teams may show up in two different spots as they may play in one region but their org operates in a different one.

Should a team be missing from officially applying below please let us know in the comment section.
