Magic Star Trek previews start October 20; set lands November 13

Wizards of the Coast has set November 13, 2026 as the release date for Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek, set code TRK. Previews open on October 20, 2026 with the set's debut presentation and run through October 29, 2026. Preorders are open at local game stores, TCGplayer, Amazon, and elsewhere Magic is sold.

What the set is

TRK is built around Star Trek's crews, adversaries, and starships, drawing on 60 years of Star Trek history.

The set includes new mechanics and Booster Fun treatments, and the October 20 debut is where the first cards and details for both are due. Neither is spelled out yet. Images on the product page are digital renderings, not actual cards.

The preview schedule

The debut reveals on October 20, 2026 are broadcast on the official Magic: The Gathering YouTube channel and on twitch.tv/magic, followed by the WeeklyMTG aftershow. The Making Magic column is also listed for that date.

From October 21 through October 29, 2026, previews move to partner outlets and creators. IGN and PC Gamer are listed for October 21, Polygon for October 22, TCGplayer for October 23, TrekMovie for October 26, Nerdist for October 27, and Collider for October 28.

Official Wizards accounts and channels also hold preview slots on multiple dates between October 21 and October 29, 2026. They include @wizards_magic, @mtgjp, @wizardsmagiceu, @wizards_magicde, and the DailyMTG page.

Star Trek Commander gets its own strand from October 26 to October 29, 2026:

• October 26: We Are the Borg, with Commander At Home
• October 27: Federation Fleet, with LoadingReadyRun
• October 28: Klingon Fury, with Anna Margaret
• October 29: Landing Party, with GLHF

Where to follow the cards

Once previews begin, the Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Card Image Gallery is updated every morning, Monday through Friday. It holds cards previewed the previous day and earlier, but not cards previewed that same day. The complete gallery is scheduled for October 30.

Headliner Signed cards

The set includes Headliner Signed cards, autographed by the actors themselves. James T. Kirk and Spock are given as examples of the characters featured.

TRK Headliner cards are localized in English only, and they are available in Star Trek Collector Boosters of any language. Mechanically, they are identical to the other TRK non-Headliner card treatments, so the signature is a collecting feature rather than a gameplay one.

Why it matters

The window between the first reveal on October 20 and the complete gallery on October 30 is short, and it ends before the November 13 release. Players get the full card list with time left to settle preorders.

Supply is a separate question. TCGKing has reported that Play Boosters and Prerelease Packs are on track while Commander decks, Collector Boosters, and bundles may arrive late in some regions. Headliner Signed cards are available in Collector Boosters, so that report bears on them directly. [F12,CTX]

The set also lands in a busy stretch for the game. The Marvel Secret Lair Countdown Kit is scheduled to launch on November 2, 2026, after the Star Trek previews end and before the November 13 release, and is sold only on MagicSecretLair.com.

What is still unknown

Prices for Star Trek products are not announced yet. The full product lineup and its contents, the total card count, and the names of the new mechanics are also not announced yet.

The actors who signed Headliner cards and the number of signed cards have not been stated. Digital availability on Magic Arena is not stated, and neither are the languages the set is printed in, apart from the English-only Headliner cards.

The next checkpoint is the debut presentation on October 20, 2026.
