Arena of Valor Pro League Summer 2026 revealed through GALCHANIE music video

The Arena of Valor Pro League (ROV) Summer 2026 has officially been announced through a music video featuring popular Thai singer GALCHANIE.

Titled “Dawn of Dreams” (translated from Thai), the video revealed that the tournament is set to kick off on January 31st.

ROV Pro League Summer 2026 will feature nine teams competing for a share of the $328,000 (~£238,000) prize pool in Bangkok, Thailand.

Heading into the new season, two major organisations have exited the circuit. Firstly, PSG Esports has disbanded and shut down its Arena of Valor division, with its league slot acquired by SOLYX.

Secondly, TALON has also departed the ROV Pro League, resulting in its slot being taken over by Tenacity.

The full list of teams competing this year include FULL SENSE, Bacon Time, Buriram United Esports, Solyx, eArena, Tenacity, Hydra Esports, King of Gamers Club, and Godji Check.

The Group Stage of the ROV Pro League Summer will take place from January 31st to March 22nd. All matches will follow a double round-robin format and the top four teams from here will advance to the Playoffs.

In the Playoffs, the qualified organisations will battle in a double-elimination bracket to determine the champion. All matches in this stage will be played as best-of-seven series.

While it has not been officially confirmed yet, just like previous years, the top teams from the ROV Pro League Summer season are expected to advance to the Arena of Valor Premier League (APL). The APL is the mid-season event for regions where Garena has published the game.

ROV Pro League 2025 Winter saw an intense rivalry between Bacon Time and FULL SENSE as the two sides dominated the Group Stage to finish first and second, respectively.

Bacon Time won both of its head-to-head encounters; however, the Playoffs presented a different story as FULL SENSE won the Upper Bracket Final 4-2.

The two teams once again faced off in the Grand Finals and while Bacon Time opened with a win in the best-of-seven series, FULL SENSE came on top to secure a dominant 4-1 win to lift the trophy.
