Valorant Map Pool 2026: Which maps are currently in ranked play?

The Valorant map pool is the list of maps available in ranked mode during the current act. Riot Games regularly updates the rotation, adding new maps and removing old ones to diversify gameplay and maintain balance. In this article, we’ve compiled the current Valorant map pool for July 2026, detailing which maps are currently available in ranked mode and how often the rotation changes.

We’ve already covered each map in detail in a separate article. As of July 2026, the Valorant map pool includes the following maps:

Ranked mode always features seven maps. With the release of a new act, Riot Games typically brings one map back into rotation and removes another. This approach helps refresh the meta without overwhelming players with too many maps. In July 2026, Ascent returned to Ranked, while Bind was removed from the active map pool.

Removing a map from ranked play does not mean it has been removed from the game. These maps remain available in normal modes, Swiftplay, Deathmatch, and custom games. Riot uses a rotation system so that players have time to learn new maps and developers can refine older ones.
