The latest round of Regional Championship Qualifiers (RCQs) is currently underway, and players have been testing their mettle in Standard and Limited. As 2026 continues, we're also preparing for our next round of RCQs. That means a fresh series of events, a new suite of promo cards, and more chances to start your competitive Magic journey.
Today, we'll be revealing more information about this next round of RCQs and some of 2026's upcoming Regional Championships.
The second round of RCQs for 2026 will begin on April 4 and run until August 2. All WPN stores and destination event organizers will be running RCQs that feed into the upcoming round of Regional Championships for 2026–27 during this window.
For this round, RCQs at WPN game stores can be held as Modern Constructed or Limited events. Larger events that are designated as "destination" qualifiers—events run in larger venues such as hotel ballrooms or convention centers—may be run as other Constructed formats. Please check with your local organizer for all specific info on qualifiers closest to you.
Additionally, the product line-up for Limited may differ depending on when the event is taking place, as this round will span multiple booster releases, so check with your organizer for the specific details if you're interested in a Limited RCQ.
We're casting a spell on Magic players across the globe to conjure up a new crop of RCQ promo cards. Let's see what folks will be playing for!
We're excited to announce the Regional Championships that will qualify players for the first Pro Tour of 2027. These events will feature Modern Constructed and reward players with a brand-new promo card which we will announce at a later date.*
We'll share more details in the future, including this round's promo card and specific event information. Keep an eye on Magic.gg and our social media channels for the latest news from the competitive Magic scene!
