With a $1,000,000 prize pool on the line, the biggest tournament of the 2026 season tests players on an unsolved Limited format just 72 hours after its digital release.
Competitive Magic’s 2025-26 season culminates this weekend at MagicCon: Atlanta. World Championship 32 runs from November 13-5, bringing 134 invited players to the Georgia World Congress Center to compete for a $1,000,000 prize pool and the Player of the Year title.
The three day tournament splits across two formats: Standard Constructed and a Star Trek Booster Draft. Because the tournament coincides perfectly with Star Trek’s global tabletop launch on Friday, competitors will have had less than 72 hours to practice the Limited environment on MTG Arena.
Standard will showcase a massive card pool. According to the official Viewer’s Guide, new strategies like Jund Sacrifice, fueled by Biotech Specialist and The Sackville-Bagginses, are expected to test the established meta. Fans won’t have to guess what the pros are running; Wizards of the Coast will publish all Standard decklists on the official event page at the start of Round 4 on Friday. Draft decklists will remain hidden.
Live coverage streams across official Magic channels. Friday and Saturday broadcasts begin at 11 a.m. ET, opening with featured Draft pods before transitioning to Standard. Sunday’s single-elimination Top 8 kicks off at 10 a.m. ET, played entirely in Standard.
Sunday also marks the return of the Magic Pro Tour Hall of Fame. After the Semifinals conclude, Javier Dominguez, Ken Yukuhiro, and Jean-Emmanuel Depraz will be formally inducted as the Class of 2026 live on the World Championship stage.
