BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in TOKYO

The Tokyo stop of BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27. The Fest official site (Japanese) published the outline, How to Participate page and visitor giveaways dated September 15, 2026, and on October 16, 2026 it published the NARUTO Card Game "content list" and the Tokyo merchandise (the Japanese NARUTO Card Game official site also carried a Tokyo page that day; the English and Traditional Chinese versions have not). Two sessions — February 20–21 and March 6–7, 2027 — across four venues; NARUTO Card Game is the only title listed at both the February TOC Exhibition Hall session and the March Ikebukuro Sunshine City Exhibition Hall B・C session (the March venue was named "Exhibition Hall C" when first published and changed to "Exhibition Hall B・C" on October 16). NARUTO's programme is a demo session ("体験会 in BCGFest") at both sessions, with no mention of a tournament. Reception times, capacity and the demo session application page are "to be announced later." Admission is free but entry is application-only, with no same-day admission without a prior application. Applying requires face photo registration in BANDAI TCG+ (screening may take a week or more), which is also required to receive the visitor giveaway. The Main Event window is November 20–29, 2026, with winners announced around December 14. Side Events take applications in two rounds: an advance round (December 25, 2026 – January 3, 2027, results around January 15, all seven titles) and a second round (February session from January 29, 2027; March session from February 10; NARUTO is eligible for the March round only). The advance-round window was stated differently on the How to Participate and outline pages until October 16, 2026, when both were unified to December 25 – January 3. A priority lottery raises the odds for applicants who link their My Number Card to the MOALA account connected to BANDAI TCG+ by the deadline (a win is not guaranteed, and Bandai does not obtain or store the individual number). Merchandise is three NARUTO items (Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027- ¥3,850 tax incl. / Official Playmat -NARUTO vs. SASUKE- ¥3,850 tax incl. / Premium Card Collection vol.00 -Chakra Set- ¥1,650 tax incl., six card types one of each) listed under "SPECIAL PRODUCTS", sold on Premium Bandai only with no on-site sale. The FAQ states that taking part in the merchandise sale without attending the event is possible, and the general advance sale (19:00 January 8 – 23:00 January 17, 2027) and general post-event sale (12:00 March 15 – 23:00 April 4) are open to anyone (the purchase limit per person and which products are lottery-based are unpublished). NARUTO's visitor giveaway is still absent from the visitor giveaway page (dated 2026.09.15) as of October 16, 2026.
