International players can open BT-27 in organised play a week before the reported US release: the IGNITION OF X [BT-27] Release Event for the Digimon Card Game runs December 4–10, 2026 under Sealed Format Rules, which means no pre-built deck is needed. Players have to apply in advance through the TCG+ app, with applications opening November 20, 2026.
Japan gets its own version of the same release-commemoration tournament, on December 5–13, 2026, with different rules. The two editions share a booster pack and an app.

Digimon BT-27 Release Event Dates & How to Enter
The international schedule and entry steps:
- Event period: December 4 – December 10, 2026
- Applications open: November 20, 2026
- Where: TCG+ app, all regions available
- How to find it: search "IGNITION OF X [BT-27]" with "Digimon" selected at the top of the app
The English site warns that the period dates may change and tells players to confirm with their local store.
IGNITION OF X Release Event Prizes (International)
The international prize list is:
- Winner Card x1, in a Holographic + Textured foil design
- Participation Card x1
- IGNITION OF X Release Event Pack x1
TCGKing's take: a Sealed event with a guaranteed participation card and a textured-foil winner card is a low-pressure way to open BT-27 for the first time, and the foil is the reason to care about finishing first.
Japan Release Tournament Rules for BT-27
The Japanese edition is stricter about entry and more relaxed about format:
- Entry requires buying 12 packs of BT-27, the "half box" purchase
- Format: Free, with BT-27 cards allowed
- One winner per tournament, pairings run by the store, expected maximum of 12 players
- Prizes include random prizes, and how they are handed out may differ by store
Applications go through BANDAI TCG+. If applications exceed capacity, a lottery decides, and only winners may play. If slots remain on the day, same-day entry may be possible.
Each participant must apply with their own account. Multiple accounts, proxy applications, and transferring participation rights are prohibited.
No tournament starts at or after 22:00, and those with elementary-school-age or younger players end by 18:00.
Context: BT-27 Calendar
The set was previewed with Ravmon: Burst Mode and Caprimon, with a reported release of December 5 in Japan and December 11 in the US. The international event window therefore starts a week before the reported US release.
