Prerelease events for Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek run November 6 to 12, 2026 at participating stores, and the set releases on November 13 (Wizards of the Coast). Wizards says Play Boosters and Prerelease Packs are on track for Prerelease and release events despite supply problems. Some other products will arrive late in Europe (Wizards).
How the Prerelease works
- When you register you get a Prerelease Pack with 6 Play Boosters, a traditional foil promo card, a deck box and a Spindown die (Wizards).
- You build a 40-card Sealed deck from its contents plus basic lands.
- Prereleases are meant to be casual, which makes them a good fit for new and returning players.
- Wizards Play Network stores may sell the whole set during Prerelease week (WPN). Whether and when a store runs a Prerelease is up to the store.
What's delayed in Europe
According to Wizards (as of October 30), these products may arrive late in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (source):
- After the November 13 release: Collector Boosters in English, French and German, English Commander decks, Draft Night, Scene Boxes and Beam Me Up Bundles.
- After Prerelease: French and German Commander decks and the Collector's Edition Commander decks, with more of the latter arriving after release.
Wizards calls the situation fluid and advises checking availability with your local store. We covered the four Commander decks here.
Events after release
For the season from November 13, 2026 to January 28, 2027, Wizards offers stores formats including these (WPN):
- Commander Party from November 20 to 26 and January 15 to 21, with a Commander promo for participants while supplies last.
- Standard Showdown once a week, with a promo for the winner.
- Magic Presents: To Boldly Go, a Sealed league running all season.
- Friday Night Magic on Fridays.
Which events a store actually runs is only confirmed by the store itself. On MTG Arena the set launches November 10 (Wizards).
