While 2026 may be a long way off for Magic: The Gathering , it's always worth keeping an eye on the future, and thanks to a recent preview panel at MagicCon Amsterdam, the entire 2027 set roadmap is already complete.
Yes, there are still some reveals to come for the three out-of-universe sets, but we know where we'll be going for the in-universe sets, and there will also be four MagicCon events that will take place in locations around the world.
So, if you want to know what's coming to MTG in 2027, I'll keep you posted on sets, MagicCons, and competitive events alike.
Magic: The Gathering 2027 Set Reveals and Release Dates
There will be a total of six Magic: The Gathering sets released in 2027, three of which will be in-universe and the other three will be Universe Beyond. We have dates for all six sets, but only plane/theme reveals for the three in-universe offerings so far. They are:
- Nauctis: The Sunken Realm – February 5th
- Kamigawa: Titanbreach – June 4
- Zhalfir – October 1
It's unbelievable that we're going back to Kamigawa, but even more so that it's Kamigawa that's being attacked by Ikorea. These are two lovely planes that are sure to be an absolutely stellar in-universe MTG set.
Nauctis is a new plane but takes its influence from Atlantis, it is completely underwater. I'm excited to see how we get to a whole new plane behind the reality fracture and what it means as we embark on the next big overarching magical story.
Finally, there's Zhalfir, which is finally returning after being phased by Teferi to save it from the Phyrexian attack. The only problem is that it's set back on top of Mirrodin, so it's expected to be another crossover set like Kamigawa: Titanbreach.
A universe beyond 2027 release dates
When it comes to Universes Beyond sets for 2027, we have all three release dates, but no settings.
- Set One: April 9
- Set Two: August 6
- Set three: November 19
MagicCon Amsterdam had much to say about the reveal of three in-universe sets, but news about the upcoming Universe Beyond sets is expected sometime before the end of 2026. One of these sets is almost guaranteed to be a Marvel set to continue the release of Infinity Stones on MTG, but it's expected to be a much narrower release than Super2'6's Marvels2'6.
Other persistent rumors include a Mistborn/Cosmare set, Game of Thrones, and even a Zelda set after Hasbro recently confirmed it owns the rights to create toys for the franchise.
MagicCons in 2027
There will be a total of four MagicCon events in 2027, meaning an additional event has been added to the calendar following the proven popularity of the existing rotation.
- Detroit – February 26-28
- Tokyo – May 14-16
- Las Vegas – August 27-29
- Amsterdam – December 3-5
There will be two more MagicCons in North America, but one is headed to a new city, Detroit, right at the start of the year. Tokyo is also getting its first MagicCon event, which will precede the release of Kamigawa: Titanbreach, which is certainly no coincidence.
As for the returning locations, Las Vegas and Amsterdam are both getting another MagicCon event in 2027, though the dates are moving so both will be well into the second half of the year.
Competitive MTG events in 2027
During this MagicCon Amsterdam preview panel, we also got a glimpse of some plans for competitive events in 2027. We don't have a date for next year's World Championships, they are expected to take place sometime in Q4.
What we do have, however, is the Limited Championship, a new event in Minneapolis from 18-20. Pro Tour events are still expected to follow each set release, leading up to the World Championship at the end of the year.
