What is coming next

Every announced English Pokemon TCG release, with what is actually in it. Dates say how well known they are, because a confirmed date and a shop's guess are not the same thing and most sites print them identically.

Mega Evolution: Delta Reign ME06

Confirmed date

The sixth English Mega Evolution set, headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex coming back to the card game. The Pokemon Company has published the whole card breakdown for this one, which is unusual this far out, and it comes with a new kind of Stadium card that only does anything as a pair.

  • Over 135 cards, more than 20 of them Trainer cards, and over 35 cards with special illustrations
  • Four new Mega Evolution Pokemon ex: Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex and Mega Golisopod ex
  • Split Stadium cards with Legendary in the name. Both halves carry the same name and you need both to play it, so a deck can hold two complete ones at most. Placed side by side they form one extended picture, and a pack holding one holds both of its halves
  • The rest of the breakdown, published by The Pokemon Company itself on August 20, 2026: six Stadium cards making three Legendary Stadiums, six Pokemon ex, 14 illustration rares, 17 ultra rares and six special illustration rares
  • Prereleases start October 24 at participating local game stores, which is The Pokemon Company's own date. It has not announced an end, so the November 1 finish is PokeBeach's
  • Pokemon TCG Live gets the set on November 5, the day before it reaches shelves

What you can buy 9
  • Booster Box Four pack wraps: Mega Rayquaza, Mega Golisopod, Mega Golurk and Mega Malamar
  • Booster Bundle
  • Elite Trainer Box The box promo is the Kyogre illustration rare from Japan's Storm Emeralda, cut from the English set and moved here

Every product here has been shown in official artwork, published by PokeBeach on August 20, 2026, so this is a real lineup rather than a guess at one. The Pokemon Company has still not put out a product page for the set, which is why not one of these carries a price or a date of its own here: none has been announced. If a shop quotes you a price for one, that is the shop's number and not a retail price.

Out in Japan first

Japan gets most of this months before we do, and we collect the Japanese cards too, so here is Japan's own calendar. Every date in this section is a Japanese release date. None of them is the English street date, and a Japanese set is not simply the English set early: Delta Reign above is being built out of more than one Japanese release, so the two calendars do not line up card for card either. The English dates are the two sections above this one.

  • Japan only September 16, 2026 in 2 weeks

    30th Celebration

    The one date on this list that is not early. 30th Celebration launches worldwide on the same day, so Japan and the English release are both 16 September.

  • Japan only September 16, 2026 in 2 weeks

    30th Celebration Premium Deck Set, Espeon and Umbreon

    Two 60 card decks, built around a special illustration rare Espeon ex or Umbreon ex. Illustration rares of Zeraora and Victini are in there too.

    Aura Seeker

    Starring Mega Lucario Z ex. No English set has been named for it, and this page will not guess one: Japanese sets do not map one to one onto English ones, which Delta Reign above is the current proof of.

JAPANESE DATES AND PRICES REPORTED BY POKEBEACH, READ AUGUST 21, 2026. PRICES ARE IN YEN AND ARE NOT CONVERTED: A DOLLAR FIGURE HERE WOULD BE THE EXCHANGE RATE ON THE DAY IT WAS TYPED, FROZEN INTO THE PAGE.

CHECKED AUGUST 31, 2026. NOTHING BEYOND THE SETS ABOVE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED: NO ENGLISH SET AFTER THEM HAS BEEN NAMED OR DATED, SO THIS PAGE DOES NOT LIST ONE. JAPANESE SETS OFTEN COME OUT MONTHS EARLIER AND ARE NOT THE SAME RELEASE, SO THEY GET THEIR OWN SECTION ABOVE AND ARE NEVER MIXED INTO THE ENGLISH LISTS. DATES SLIP. IF YOU SPOT ONE THAT HAS CHANGED, SAY SO ON ANY OF THE SOCIALS AND IT GETS FIXED.
