MagicCon Las Vegas 2025 is already underway, and if you're not able to go this year, fear not. The dates for the three 2026 Magic Con events have been announced, so time to start planning!

Kicking things off next year will be MagicCon Las Vegas from May 1-3, 2026. Then, during the height of the summer, MagicCon Amsterdam will take place July 17-19, 2026. Then, once the temperatures have cooled, MagicCon Atlanta will be held November 13-15, 2026. You can check out the appropriately-themed date announcement video below. 

MagicCon Las Vegas and Amsterdam 2026 will both be stops on the official Magic Pro Tour tournament, where players who have won regional championships will battle against each other. Meanwhile, MagicCon Atlanta 2026 will host the World Championship tournament, where the stakes can't get any higher. 

We'll see you there!
