In this paper, we address variational inequalities (VI) with a finite sum structure by proposing a novel single-loop variance-reduced algorithm that incorporates the Bregman distance. Under the monotone setting, we establish the almost sure convergence of the proposed algorithm and prove that it achieves the optimal complexity of $\mathcal{O}\left(\frac{\sqrt{M}}{\varepsilon }\right)$ for finding an $\varepsilon$-gap. Furthermore, under the non-monotone setting, we derive a complexity of $\mathcal{O}\left(\frac{1}{\varepsilon^2 }\right)$ of the algorithm. Our proposed method yields complexity results that either match or improve the state-of-the-art complexity bounds reported in existing literature. Notably, this work is the first to rigorously establish the linear convergence rate of the algorithm for solving finite-sum variational inequalities in Bregman setups. Finally, we report two numerical experiments to validate the effectiveness and practical performance of our method.
