2026 WCQ: Regional Qualifiers

Event Date:  2 August - 21 September 2025

The road to the 2026 Yu‑Gi‑Oh! TCG European Championship begins with Regional Qualifiers!

These competitive events often draw in a large number of players and are run as Swiss-style tournaments.

The top performing Duelists at each Regional Qualifier earn the right to compete in the 2026 WCQ: Continental Championship!

If you are a Junior player (born in 2012 or later) and succeed at a Regional Qualifier, you can choose to either play in the 2026 WCQ: Continental Championship, or the 2026 Dragon Duel Championship, held at the same location.
