Upcoming Magic Prerelease Events

Prerelease weekends are your first chance to play a new Magic set, usually a week before it hits shelves. Each player opens six boosters and builds a 40-card deck on the spot, so no collection is needed and everyone starts even. Most stores run several sessions across the weekend and send you home with your cards.

There are 401 on the calendar right now (401 Sealed Deck) at 231 stores. Showing 89 of them, trimmed on the busiest days; use the map or a city page for the rest. All times are store-local.
