Star Wars: Unlimited 2026 Set Release Schedule
Every Star Wars: Unlimited booster set and special release scheduled for 2026, including the first-ever rotation and the new Icons mini-set.
In this guide
Star Wars: Unlimited enters its third year in 2026, and it is a bigger year than usual: this is when the game's first rotation kicks in, alongside a full slate of new product. Here is what has been announced for 2026, with the standard caveat that Fantasy Flight can and does adjust dates.
Treat every date below as scheduled, not final, and check the official Star Wars: Unlimited site before you plan around a release.
The three main booster sets
- A Lawless Time: scheduled for March 2026. This is the set that matters most structurally: it initiates the game's first-ever set rotation and officially launches the Eternal format (a second way to play alongside the rotating format).
- Ashes of the Empire: scheduled for July 2026.
- Homeworlds: originally slated for November 2026, then moved up to October 2026 in a schedule update.
The other 2026 releases
- Twin Suns precon decks: a group of four preconstructed decks for the Twin Suns format, expected in Spring 2026 (after A Lawless Time). Each deck introduces two new leaders built specifically for that format.
- Star Wars: Unlimited: Icons: a Fall 2026 mini-set aimed at new players, built around a return to core mechanics and the most recognizable characters, ships, and locations in Star Wars.
Why the rotation matters more than the cards
In most years, a new Star Wars: Unlimited set just adds cards. 2026 is different because A Lawless Time triggers the game's first rotation: some older cards drop out of the primary competitive format, while the new Eternal format is introduced specifically so those cards still have a home. If you play competitively, that is the detail worth tracking, not just the new leaders and units in the set itself.
Tracking value as the sets roll out
New Star Wars: Unlimited cards ship in multiple treatments (standard, Foil, Hyperspace, Showcase), and it is the scarcer variants of marquee leaders that move the most. As each 2026 set lands, a tracked collection keeps your pulls and want-list straight instead of relying on memory. For checking what a specific card in your binder is actually worth, search it on the Star Wars: Unlimited price guide, which pulls live reference pricing rather than a number someone typed months ago.
A note on dates and hype
Rotation years tend to bring a wave of speculation about which sets will spike. Be skeptical of anyone quoting exact numbers this far out: Fantasy Flight has already moved one 2026 date once (Homeworlds, pulled forward a month), and neither pull rates nor secondary-market prices are published in advance.
