We show that charged vector mesons cannot be condensed by a magnetic field. Although some hadron models predict the charged vector meson condensation in a strong magnetic field, we prove, by means of the Vafa-Witten theorem, that this is not the case in QCD. We also perform the numerical analysis for the meson mass and condensation in lattice QCD. The lattice QCD data confirm no charged vector meson condensation in a magnetic field.
