Digimon Card Game 2026 Set Release Schedule
The Digimon Card Game's 2026 BT booster, Extra Booster, and starter deck release schedule, including BT-25 Dual Revolution and BT-26 Timeless Bonds.
In this guide
The Digimon Card Game runs one of the most structured release calendars of any major TCG, with main BT boosters, Extra Boosters, and starter decks all on a predictable rotation. Here is the 2026 schedule as announced, with the reminder that Bandai's dates can shift and should be confirmed on the official Digimon Card Game site.
The 2026 BT booster lineup
- BT-25: DUAL REVOLUTION: pre-release May 15, 2026; full release May 22, 2026.
- BT-26: TIMELESS BONDS: released September 4, 2026.
- BT-27: scheduled for December 2026.
- BT-28: already flagged for March 2027, giving an early look past this year.
Extra Boosters and starter decks
Between the main BT sets, Digimon also ships Extra Boosters (smaller, often theme- or mechanic-focused sets) and paired starter decks:
- EX-12: scheduled for July 2026.
- EX-13: scheduled for October 2026.
- Starter Decks 23 & 24: May 2026, alongside BT-25.
- Starter Decks 25 & 26: December 2026, alongside BT-27.
Put together, that is a new Digimon product roughly every one to two months for the rest of the year, one of the busiest calendars in the TCG space.
Why the cadence matters for value
Because Digimon ships so often, older BT sets can fall out of daily attention fast even when their chase cards remain valuable. Secret Rares (SEC) and alternate-art (AA) versions of fan-favourite Digimon are what carry the real premium over base printings, in older sets as much as new ones. A tracked collection helps you keep a running want-list instead of losing track between BT-25 and BT-27.

A note on the fast schedule
A release-every-few-weeks cadence is good for players who want a steady stream of new strategies, but it also means speculative buying on an unreleased set is riskier here than in slower games: by the time BT-26 has settled into the market, BT-27 is often only a few months away. Treat any specific price predictions for BT-27 or BT-28 as pure speculation until the set has actually shipped.
