The 2024 Valorant Champions Tour: Shanghai Masters, also known as Valorant Masters Shanghai 2024, was a global tournament organized by Riot Games for the first-person shooter game Valorant as part of the Valorant Champions Tour 2024 competitive season. The tournament was held from May 23 to June 9 in Shanghai, China.[5] The top three teams of each regional league of Stage 1 competed in the tournament, which included the three International Leagues (Americas, EMEA, Pacific) and the China League.

Before the finals, an exhibition match was held between Team China and Team International showcasing the game's newest map, Abyss, which Team China narrowly won, 13–11.

Gen.G from Pacific defeated Team Heretics from EMEA in the best-of-five grand final series, 3–2, to become the first-ever Pacific team to win an international Valorant event.
