World Championship Qualifier – National

Duelists within each eligible Latin American country compete to become their nation’s Champion and represent their nation at either the Central America or South America Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG WCQ 2026! Top finishers from the WCQ – National will be invited to either the Central or South America WCQ 2026, based on their country of residence.

Starting in 2026, all former 1-Day WCQ – National events will be upgraded to full 2-Day events!

That means more Public Events, more prizes, and even more Dueling than ever before. Get ready for bigger weekends and bigger competition!

All WCQ – National events will be open to all Duelists. If you have previously earned an invite to the WCQ, the cost to enter the WCQ – National is waived. Duelists will not receive any booster packs but will have the opportunity to be crowned the 2026 Champion of that Nation. Duelists who have yet to earn an invite, and those with an invite that choose to forgo their free entry, can pay the equivalent of $15.00 USD in local currency to receive the equivalent in booster packs from our latest booster release Blazing Dominion and registration to the event. Duelists must be a resident of the host country to participate in the WCQ – National if one is being held in your country. WCQ – National events will take place throughout Latin America during the dates of May 9^th – 31^st, 2026.

Schedule & Locations

Information will be added as it becomes available, so please check back frequently for the latest updates.

If your country is not hosting a WCQ – National, you may still earn an invitation to the Central or South America 2026 WCQ. Eligible Duelists are welcome to participate in any WCQ – National event in Latin America or in Regional Qualifier events held in the United States or Canada.

WCQ – National events will be broken down into 5 Tiers (1 through 5) and each Tier has its own prize pool. Tiers are assigned based on the 2025 WCQ – National events’ attendance.
