Digimon World Championship 26-27 Area Finals set for Orlando and London

The Digimon Card Game Area Finals for North America and Europe now have dates, and entry requires an invitation from a Regional tournament. Orlando runs January 7-10, 2027 at the Orange County Convention Center, and London runs January 15-17, 2027 at ExCel London Hall 1-11, both with registration through Bandai TCG+. Oceania and Latin America are open and need no invite: Oceania, organized by TAK Games, is January 16-17, 2027 at Marvel Stadium in Docklands, Victoria, Australia, and Latin America, organized by Sangsang, is January 16, 2027 at Hotel Gran Palace in Santiago, Chile. The North America and Europe events are held in collaboration with BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 World Tour, and an invitee's ticket also works as an entry pass to the Fest. Day 1 is a Swiss event of 8 rounds, best of 3 games, 45 minutes plus 5 minutes of overtime. The Top 16 then move to a single-elimination top cut, best of 3 games, 55 minutes plus 5 minutes of overtime, though the format may vary by region. Winners are invited to the Championship 26-27 World Final, set for Japan in March 2027 with the date subject to change, and the invite prize includes hotel and airfare. Winners should hold a valid passport and a visa if required. Players may enter events in another region, but must be resident in a region to represent it at the World Championship; invites won by non-residents pass to the next highest-ranking resident player. First place receives AD01-014 MetalGarurumon and AD01-004 WarGreymon Alt-Art cards in Gold versions, a 1st Place Trophy, a Top 3 Playmat and two Championship 26-27 Tamers Card Sets. Prize details may be subject to change.
