Pre-orders & Lotteries

Go to application page

Not a product pre-order: this is admission registration for BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in LONDON (January 15–17, 2027, ExCeL London Hall 1-11, UK). The Pre-Registration page dated October 16, 2026 states "There will be general entry available. Pre-Registration required." and "General Entry Can join side events, shop, and join activities on site.", so you can enter with pre-registration without playing in a tournament and join side events, the shop and on-site activities (no same-day entry: "NO ON-SITE registration"). Registration for Europe Finals, Last Chance Qualifier and General Entry opens October 25 at 9:00am GMT, with General Entry noted as "We may open up extra seats in the future". There are nine tournaments (four invite-only, five open) and no NARUTO tournament. NARUTO Card Game's content is a "Tutorial Session", but the page does not state that it is among the Demo Tickets listed in the "Day prior the tournament" row (January 14 19:00 GMT for the 15th, January 15 19:00 for the 16th, January 16 19:00 for the 17th), so this site does not assert it. On-site retail tickets are separate, opening January 10, 2027 at 9:00am GMT (bcgfest-london-retail-tickets). Admission ticket prices are unannounced. Note that UK summer time ends on October 25, 2026, so 9:00 that day is already GMT (UTC+0). [Updated October 26, 2026] Checking today, the three buttons in the "Registration Dates, Links" section (Finals Ticket, Other Tournament Ticket, General Entry Ticket) are live links to Weeztix, confirming that registration has opened, so we have moved the status to open. Finals Ticket points to weeztix.shop/5a52quwt, while Other Tournament Ticket and General Entry Ticket share the same URL, weeztix.shop/r6k49zsq. General Entry carries the note "*We may open up extra seats in the future."

Period: From Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 10:30am local Pacific time (02:30 on Oct 26 Japan time; the page prints both "Pacific Time" and "PST"), first come first served (application links live since Oct 16)

[Updated October 25, 2026] The Orlando merchandise list's price field reads "MSRP USD $40.00" while the product detail page it links to (827.html) reads "MSRP USD $35.00" — two levels of one site with two figures (the English NARUTO Card Game official site reads "MSRP: 40 USD"). Of all 21 products, this NARUTO playmat is the only one whose list and detail prices disagree. Details are in our article of October 25, 2026. Not a product pre-order: this is admission registration for BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in ORLANDO (January 7–10, 2027, Orange County Convention Center, Florida, US). NARUTO Card Game's content there is a "Tutorial Session", but per the Pre-Registration page dated October 16, 2026, entry requires participation in one of eleven listed tournaments, and none of those eleven is a NARUTO tournament (six lines: Dragon Ball Super Masters, Dragon Ball Super Fusion World, Digimon, One Piece, UNION ARENA and Gundam). The page states "There will be NO ON-SITE WAITLIST or GENERAL ADMISSION.", so there is neither an on-site waitlist nor general admission. Tickets go on sale per "Tickets Go on Sale: October 25 10:30am PST", and the Open Tournament application links went live on October 16. Side event tickets open two weeks before the event and only for players who already hold a tournament ticket including a [Competitor Pass]. There is no pre-purchase route for NARUTO merchandise (Official Playmat -Naruto vs Sasuke-, US$35.00), which reads as on-site purchase only. Ticket prices and the NARUTO Tutorial Session's date and ticket tier are unannounced. [Updated October 24, 2026] The on-sale time is printed two ways on the same page: the Ticket Sales Schedule section reads "Tickets Go on Sale: October 25 10:30am Pacific Time", while the Open Tournaments Registration section reads "Registration Link will Go on Sale from October 25, 10:30am PST." (we originally recorded only "PST"). A note at the foot of the page reads "*All dates listed on this website are local times at the location.", and October 25, 2026 falls inside US daylight time (PDT = UTC-7; it does not end until November 1). We therefore read it as local time, i.e. PDT, and record 02:30 on October 26 Japan time as primary. Read literally as "PST" (UTC-8) it would be 03:30. There is no official statement of which was intended. [Updated October 26, 2026] Checking today, live "Registration" links (tixr.com/groups/playtcg/...) have appeared for the six Open Tournaments (DBSCG MASTERS Finals, DIGIMON LCQ, ONE PIECE Treasure Cup, ONE PIECE LCQ, DBSCG FUSION WORLD LCQ, GUNDAM LCQ), confirming that sales have started, so we have moved the status to open. None of the 11 tournaments that serve as the entry condition is a NARUTO event — entry requires a Competitor Pass earned by playing another title's tournament, and the original states "There will be NO ON-SITE WAITLIST or GENERAL ADMISSION."

Not a product lottery — this is the lottery for admission tickets to Jump Festa 2027 (Saturday December 19 and Sunday December 20, 2026, 9:00–17:00, last entry 16:30, Makuhari Messe exhibition halls 1–9 and 11). Admission is free but strictly by advance application and invitation, and applying requires installing the "Jump NAVI" app and registering a free account (a different app from BANDAI TCG+). The official site states it is "open to anyone, once per day." The NARUTO CARD GAME exhibit details were announced on the Japanese official site on November 2, 2026: (1) a demo deck tutorial at the NARUTO CARD GAME booth (one CP-001 Chakra Card per participant, one tutorial per person, with reception possibly closing early or switching to numbered tickets depending on conditions on the day); (2) one CP-001 Chakra Card in the junior-high-and-under goody bag; (3) merchandise — "NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027-" at ¥3,850 (tax incl.), one per person, cashless payment only at the venue; and (4) the latest information revealed within the Jump Super Stage NARUTO programme (December 19, 16:55–17:25). Items 1–3 need only this admission ticket, but watching item 4 additionally requires the "pre-draw ticket application" after winning (November 24 10:00 – November 30 17:59, results around 9:30 on December 11; you can only apply for the date your admission ticket won) or the "same-day draw ticket application" after entering. Admission odds and the number of tickets issued are unannounced. The earlier "step 1: digital subscribers & WJ annual-purchase cardholders only" application (October 19 10:00 – October 26 17:59) has closed, with results announced at 9:30 on November 2.

This is not a product sale lottery — it is the entry application for the Tokyo stop held February 20–21, 2027 (TOC Exhibition Hall) and March 6–7 (Ikebukuro Sunshine City Exhibition Hall B・C). Entry is application-only; there is no same-day admission without a prior application. Applying requires face photo registration in the BANDAI TCG+ app, and screening can take a week or more (face photo registration is also required to receive the visitor giveaway). Applicants who link their My Number Card to the MOALA account connected to BANDAI TCG+ by the deadline qualify for a priority lottery with higher odds (a win is not guaranteed). The Side Event second round opens January 29, 2027 for the February session and February 10 for the March session; NARUTO Card Game is eligible for the March session only (how the February demo session maps to a second round is unannounced). [Updated October 16, 2026] NARUTO's programme has been published. The Main Event is a demo session ("体験会 in BCGFest") at both sessions, with no mention of a tournament (February 20–21 at TOC Exhibition Hall / March 6–7 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City Exhibition Hall B・C). Reception times are "to be announced later", and capacity and the demo session application page are unpublished. The two conflicting Side Event advance windows that had persisted since publication are also resolved: the How to Participate page now reads "Fri Dec 25, 2026 – Sun Jan 3, 2027" with "results around Fri Jan 15, 2027", matching the outline page and the content list — all three pages agree (no correction notice). The March venue name changed from "Exhibition Hall C" to "Exhibition Hall B・C", and the floor in the address went from "3F" to "3F・4F". NARUTO's visitor giveaway is still absent from the visitor giveaway page (still dated 2026.09.15). Main Event applications open in 35 days (November 20).

Only those who won one of the two admission tickets above may apply, and only for the day they won. It covers Super Stage viewing, JF official shop merchandise purchase and Original Art World special exhibition viewing. Watching the Jump Super Stage NARUTO slot (December 19, 16:55-17:25) requires winning an admission ticket and then winning this as well. There are also same-day lottery tickets and first-come numbered tickets (issued for organiser corners and maker booths), both obtained through the Jump NAVI app after entry. A lottery for admission tickets to Jump Festa 2027 (Saturday December 19 and Sunday December 20, 2026, at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall, halls 1-9 and 11; admission free). This is not a product preorder or sales lottery. We list it as a NARUTO Card Game registration because the official "New Info Revealed! Oct. 2026" page states, in Japanese, English and English (Asia), "The next big reveal is coming in December 2026, at Jump Festa!" Applying requires installing the "Jump NAVI" app and registering a free account (a different app from BANDAI TCG+). Venue hours are 9:00-17:00 with last entry at 16:30, noted as "Some stage programmes run after 17:00." The Jump Super Stage slot for NARUTO is on DAY 1 (Saturday, December 19) from 16:55 to 17:25 - the final Super Stage slot of DAY 1, with Junko Takeuchi, Noriaki Sugiyama and Chie Nakamura appearing - starting 25 minutes after last entry. The original-work official site (naruto-official.com) NYCC roundup states, immediately after its "NARUTO Card Game info also revealed!" section, that at the Jump Festa 2027 NARUTO Jump Super Stage "we plan to deliver follow-up news on the information announced this time," and the card game is one of the items announced this time. But the only project named for that stage is the new manga NARUTO SHADOW RISING ("follow-up news will be announced at the Jump Super Stage!!"); the card game and the mobile game Naruto Mobile are pinned only to "Jump Festa" as an event. [Updated November 3, 2026] Whether the card game features in the stage slot is now confirmed: the official "Jump Festa 2027 exhibition information" published November 2, 2026 states that "within the NARUTO programme of the Jump Super Stage, the latest NARUTO Card Game information will also be revealed!" (though the Jump Festa 2027 official site's stage page still does not mention the card game — only the card game's own site says so). The Jump Festa 2027 official site has since published its maker-booth listing (30 companies in the exhibition zone, 15 in the Jump Festa Market), with "BANDAI / BANDAI SPIRITS" in hall 4 of the exhibition zone under the tags exhibition, merchandise and hands-on. There is still no standalone "NARUTO CARD GAME" entry in that listing, so the booth number and its position within the hall remain unconfirmed. The NARUTO Card Game exhibition contents (the booth demo deck tutorial, the two CP-001 routes, merchandise and the stage slot) were published on November 2, 2026. What remains unannounced is the tutorial's times and capacity, the number of CP-001 cards, the substance of the "latest information" to be revealed on stage, and the admission lottery odds and ticket count.

Covers three venues: Aichi (Sat, March 20, 2027, TCG Shop 193 Osu), Hokkaido (Sun, March 21, Tournament Center Batoroko Sapporo Odori) and Kyoto (Sun, March 14, GIRAFULL Kyoto). [Updated October 20, 2026] The official page was rewritten while its displayed date stayed at "2026.10.13", changing this grouping from "Hokkaido and Aichi" to "Hokkaido, Aichi and Kyoto" (a full comparison against the October 13, 2026 Wayback Machine snapshot shows this one line as the only difference). From October 13 to October 19 this site listed Kyoto as a separate entry with "application window and announcement date both unannounced"; that entry has been retired today and folded into this grouping, so all 11 venues in the list now have an application window. **[Updated October 31, 2026] The page heading was also rewritten, from "held at 10 stores nationwide" to "held at 11 stores nationwide," so it now matches both the venue list (11) and the groupings (11)** (the rewrite happened between October 20 and 31; there is no correction note, the posting date still reads "2026.10.13," and the "NAURTO" misspelling remains unfixed).

The merchandise for BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in TOKYO, published October 16, 2026 (the How to Buy page is dated October 15). The NARUTO Card Game items are three products under "SPECIAL PRODUCTS". Nothing is sold or handed over at the venue; everything is sold only on Bandai's official online store, Premium Bandai. There are four phases: (1) Main Event winners' advance sale (December 24, 2026 12:00 – January 3, 2027 23:00, first come first served, winners and waitlist winners only, serial numbers due December 18, products of the won title only); (2) general advance sale (January 8, 2027 19:00 – January 17 23:00, open to anyone); (3) attendees' post-event sale (TOC Exhibition Hall attendees February 20 – February 24, 2027 23:00; Ikebukuro Sunshine City attendees March 6 – March 10 23:00 — NARUTO products are listed for both venues); (4) general post-event sale (March 15, 2027 12:00 – April 4 23:00, open to anyone). Advance-sale orders ship before the event, post-event orders in spring 2027. The FAQ states: "Can I take part in the merchandise sale without attending the event? Yes. Please use Premium Bandai's general advance sale and general post-event sale." This is the first official statement confirming a route to buy the two limited items (NARUTO vs. SASUKE / Chakra Set) in Japan without attending an event. However, "some products are sold by lottery" and "each product's sale ends once the prepared quantity is reached", and the purchase limit per person is not published. The Premium Bandai purchase pages are due around Thursday, December 24, 2026, with payment methods to be checked on each page. Note that this is the first yen price published for the "Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027-" (¥3,850 tax included).

[Updated October 25, 2026] We confirmed that the Fest-side price differs between the merchandise list page and the product detail page. The London list's price field reads "MSRP USD $40.00", while the product detail page it links to (827.html) reads "MSRP USD $35.00" (the English NARUTO Card Game official site reads "MSRP: 40 USD"). Across every product on both stops' lists (17 at London, 21 at Orlando), this NARUTO playmat is the only item whose list and detail prices disagree. It is also the only one of London's 17 products with no pound price (the other 16 appear in two currencies, e.g. "$45.00 USD" plus "£53.99 GBP (VAT included)"). Details are in our article of October 25, 2026. Ticket registration to take part in the on-site retail at BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in LONDON (January 15–17, 2027). On October 18, 2026 the venue's merchandise page began listing "NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat -Naruto vs Sasuke-" (MSRP USD $35.00, contents "Playmat x 1", under SPECIAL PRODUCTS). The official page describes the retail as "On Site Retail : All Participants", "Opened from Friday to Sunday. Pre-Registration required." and "General Entry, Finals Players(who have also pre-ordered a Commemorative Item Set) can also join the on site retail.", so General Entry can join. Registration opens per the Registration Dates table at "10th January, 9:00am GMT". The per-person purchase limit and any euro or pound price are unannounced. Note that the NARUTO Card Game official site gives the same product as "MSRP: 40 USD", so the US price conflicts between the two official sites. The Premium Card Collection vol.00 -CHAKRA set- (MSRP: 20 USD) will not be sold at the London stop. The NARUTO site originally said it would be, but that was retracted by a correction notice dated October 22, 2026 (verbatim: "*Correction Notice (October 22, 2026) This product will not be available for purchase at BANDAI CARD Fest 26-27 in ORLANDO / LONDON."). It is still absent from the Fest merchandise page as well (product page 828.html returns 404; checked October 23, 2026). The playmat is therefore the only NARUTO product available at this on-site retail.

[Checked September 19, 2026] The page was updated on September 18, the scheduled opening day, and "Click here for registration" — previously plain text — now links to the application page (bandai-tcg-plus.com/series/8498). The Pre-Registration page also published the admission ticket destination series/8499, making a sixth city where the ticket series ID is exactly one above the NARUTO session's. The note that "registration is scheduled to open on September 18" is still on the page after the opening date, and no capacity field was added (Singapore's 192 is still the only capacity published among the seven cities). Applying requires face photo registration in the BANDAI TCG+ app (your profile must show "Face Photo Verified" during the window); approval can take a week or more, so October 18 — seven days before the October 25 deadline — is the target date to start. This stop's "Pre-Registration" page states that the event is open only to participants selected through the lottery, with no same-day registration or entry. Reception may ask for ID on the day, and a mismatch with your BANDAI TCG+ account forfeits all rights to participate and to purchase prizes and goods; participation rights are non-transferable and proxies are prohibited. Nothing official reconciles the note that admission tickets allow access only to merchandise sales and teaching sessions with the statement that the session is open only to lottery winners. The link from the NARUTO page to the Pre-Registration page still has a zero-width space (U+200B) at the end of the URL after the September 18 update and returns a 404 as written; removing the character loads the page normally, and Kuala Lumpur is the only one of the seven cities affected. [Updated October 26, 2026] The deadline in the official page's "Registration Opens September 18, 2026 - October 25, 2026" has passed, so we have moved the status to finished. Winners are announced from November 12.

A lottery for a seat at the "Teaching Session" demo (October 24–25, 2026); those drawn receive a CP-001 Chakra Card. Applications closed on September 3, 2026 (local time) — the official page lists the window as "August 21, 2026 - September 3, 2026" (checked September 4, 2026). Winners are announced from September 17. Note that the official page labels the event "Pre-Registered Event" at the top but "On-Site Registration Side Event" in the detail block, with no explanation of the difference. [Checked September 13, 2026] This stop's "Pre-Registration" page states that the event is open only to participants selected through the lottery, with no same-day registration or entry. Reception may ask for ID on the day, and a mismatch with your BANDAI TCG+ account forfeits all rights to participate and to purchase prizes and goods; participation rights are non-transferable and proxies are prohibited. Applications are also split into two routes — per-title events and an admission ticket (this stop's admission ticket is bandai-tcg-plus.com/series/8123). Nothing official reconciles the note that admission tickets allow access only to merchandise sales and teaching sessions with the statement that the session is open only to lottery winners.

A lottery for a seat at the "Teaching Session" demo (December 5–6, 2026); those drawn receive a CP-001 Chakra Card. The official page reads "Registration Opens September 11, 2026 - October 12, 2026." At 08:31 JST on September 11, 2026 the application link still pointed to the same URL as Jakarta (series/8080); by our September 12, 2026 check it had been switched to the city-specific bandai-tcg-plus.com/series/8408, and the page's update stamp had changed to "Sep. 11, 2026" (previously Aug. 28, 2026). A "Capacity 192" field has also been added — across all seven Asian city pages checked on September 12, Singapore is the only one listing a capacity (the page does not state whether 192 covers the whole event, one day or one session). Face photo registration in the BANDAI TCG+ app is required (screening can take a week or more; see our walkthrough); working back from the October 12 deadline, the target date to start registering is October 5. [Checked September 13, 2026] This stop's "Pre-Registration" page states that the event is open only to participants selected through the lottery, with no same-day registration or entry. Reception may ask for ID on the day, and a mismatch with your BANDAI TCG+ account forfeits all rights to participate and to purchase prizes and goods; participation rights are non-transferable and proxies are prohibited. Applications are also split into two routes — per-title events and an admission ticket (this stop's admission ticket is bandai-tcg-plus.com/series/8409). Nothing official reconciles the note that admission tickets allow access only to merchandise sales and teaching sessions with the statement that the session is open only to lottery winners. [Checked October 6, 2026] The official page still reads "Registration Opens September 11, 2026 - October 12, 2026" and "Capacity 192," and its update stamp is unchanged at "Sep. 11, 2026" (the pre-opening note "*Registration is scheduled to open on September 11." also remains). Six days are left before the deadline. Of the seven Asian cities, three are open — Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (closes October 25) and Taipei (November 3) — while Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong and Bangkok have closed. Because face photo screening can take a week or more, the September 12 target date of October 5 for starting registration has passed, and beginning it now may not leave enough time before the deadline. [Checked October 13, 2026] The application window closed at the end of October 12, 2026, Singapore time. The official page (singapore-nt-tornaments.html) still reads "September 11, 2026 - October 12, 2026" and "November 5, 2026 -", its update stamp is unchanged at "Sep. 11, 2026", and no "closed" label has been added (the same behaviour as the Hong Kong and Manila stops). Of the seven Asian cities, five have now closed — Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore — leaving Kuala Lumpur (deadline October 25) and Taipei (November 3) open. [Checked November 5, 2026] The official page still reads "Registration Opens September 11, 2026 - October 12, 2026" and "November 5, 2026 -" for the result, and **today is that announcement start date** (the "Capacity 192" figure is also unchanged). This is the fifth of the seven Asian announcements, leaving Kuala Lumpur (from November 12) and Taipei (from November 19). The official wording is a start date plus a dash and does not say everyone is notified that day, so applicants check their own result in My Events on BANDAI TCG+. The event itself is December 5-6, exactly 30 days after the announcement start date.

A lottery for a seat at the "Teaching Session" demo (December 19–20, 2026, World Trade Center); the Traditional Chinese page lists the gift under 紀念品 as "CP-001 查克拉卡". It is labelled 事前報名活動 (a pre-registered event). [Checked September 26, 2026] The page was updated on September 25, the scheduled opening day, and 報名連結 — previously plain text with no link — now points to the application page (bandai-tcg-plus.com/series/8529). The Pre-Registration page also published the admission ticket destination series/8530, making a seventh city where the ticket series ID is exactly one above the NARUTO session's, which completes the set for all seven Asian cities. The note that registration is scheduled to open on September 25 is still on the page after the opening date, and no capacity field was added (Singapore's 192 is still the only capacity published among the seven cities). Its 40-day application window is the longest of the seven cities. Applying requires face photo registration in the BANDAI TCG+ app (your profile must show 臉部照片已驗證 during the window); approval can take a week or more, so October 27 — seven days before the November 3 deadline — is the target date to start. [Checked September 13, 2026] This stop's "Pre-Registration" page states that the event is open only to participants selected through the lottery, with no same-day registration or entry. Reception may ask for ID on the day, and a mismatch with your BANDAI TCG+ account forfeits all rights to participate and to purchase prizes and goods; participation rights are non-transferable and proxies are prohibited. Applications are also split into two routes — per-title events and an admission ticket (the ticket URL was published as series/8530 in the September 25 update). Nothing official reconciles the note that admission tickets allow access only to merchandise sales and teaching sessions with the statement that the session is open only to lottery winners. [Checked November 1, 2026] The official page still reads "報名開始 2026年9月25日 - 11月3日", "抽籤結果公布 2026年11月19日 -" and "紀念品 CP-001 查克拉卡", with no change to its update stamp (the pre-opening note "報名預計於2026年9月25日開始" also remains). Re-checking all seven Asian city pages today, **Taipei is the only one still accepting applications** (the other six have all closed), making **November 3 the last application deadline across the seven Asian cities**. With two days left, anyone starting face photo registration now (screening can take a week or more) may not make it in time. Singapore’s 192 is still the only published capacity among the seven cities. [Confirmed November 3, 2026] **Today is the final day of the application window** (the official page reads 「報名開始 2026年9月25日 - 11月3日」, with the footnote 「*本網站記載的所有日程皆為舉辦地當地時間。」). With this, all seven Asian cities close, and from tomorrow there is no application anywhere for a named tutorial seat. Because face photo screening can take a week or more, only accounts already showing 「臉部照片已驗證」 can make today's deadline. The next application window is the Premier Demo Event January group, opening December 1. [Updated November 4, 2026] The deadline in the official page's window 「報名開始 2026年9月25日 - 11月3日」 has passed in venue local time, so we have moved the status to finished. All seven Asian cities are now closed, leaving no application anywhere in the world for a named tutorial seat. The Taipei page still reads 「報名開始 2026年9月25日 - 11月3日」 and 「抽籤結果公布 2026年11月19日 -」 today, with no label indicating the window has closed (the pre-opening note 「報名預計於2026年9月25日開始。」 also remains). Winners are announced from November 19 and the event runs December 19-20. The nearest items on the seven-city calendar are the winner announcements: Singapore from November 5, Kuala Lumpur from November 12 and Taipei from November 19. The next chance to apply for a tutorial seat is the January group of Japan's Premier Demo Event, opening December 1.

Not a product pre-order: this is registration for the free NARUTO Card Game tutorial sessions at PAX Aus 2026 (October 9–11, 2026, MCEC Melbourne). Per the official English X post of September 19 and the official page, registration is on BANDAI TCG+, first come first served, one event per person (circumventing the limit means exclusion from all demo events). The registration page is on the site of TAK Games, the Australian operator; there are 22 slots — eight each on Friday and Saturday (10:30–17:30) and six on Sunday (10:30–15:30), 45 minutes each, capacity unannounced — and the links do not open until registration time. A PAX Aus ticket is required separately. Participant gifts are a CP-001 Chakra Card and a logo sticker (registration to the TCG+ "NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL" and a survey required). Participants also enter a daily raffle after the final session for the right to buy the official playmat (US$35 +tax) that day. [Checked September 22, 2026] The registration time stated on the official page (September 20, 11:00 AEST) has passed, so we have moved the status to open. Note that neither the official page nor the TAK Games page lists a capacity or remaining seats, and the TCG+ event pages require a login, so we cannot verify from outside whether the slots are full. Because it is first come first served, registration may close on capacity rather than on a date. [Updated October 15, 2026] PAX Aus 2026 ran October 9–11 and has now concluded, so we have moved the status to closed.

Not a product pre-order: this is registration for the free NARUTO Card Game tutorial sessions at Lucca Comics & Games 2026 (October 28 – November 1, 2026, Piazza Santa Maria, Lucca, Italy). The official page says registration "will take place on TCG+", and its "Tutorial Session Registration page" button links to a page run by Play-system (part of the Gametrade group) in Italy. That page carries the full five-day timetable — 13 sessions a day from October 28 to 31 and 11 on November 1, 63 in total, from 09:15 at 45-minute intervals, 30–45 minutes each — together with each session's BANDAI TCG+ event URL. Registration is limited to one session per person for the whole event, and duplicate registrations are automatically cancelled (the official page states it means exclusion from all tutorial sessions). Demo Decks can be played in Italian or English and cannot be taken home. Each session also has a waiting list: if a registered participant is not present when the session begins, the seat passes to the first person on the list, and arriving late does not guarantee access. Participant gifts are a CP-001 Chakra Card and a logo sticker (registration to the TCG+ "NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL" and a post-session survey required). A Lucca Comics & Games admission ticket is required separately. [Checked October 15, 2026] The registration time stated on the official page (October 14, 11:00 AM CEST) has passed, so we list the status as open. Per-session capacity is given only as "Places for each session are limited" with no figure, and the TCG+ event pages require a login, so we cannot verify from outside whether sessions are full. Because it is first come first served, registration may close on capacity rather than on a date. Note that the registration page gives the opening time two ways, as "10:00 AM CEST" and as "11:00 AM (Rome Time)"; we follow the official site's "11:00 AM CEST". Playmat purchases are booked separately (lucca-2026-playmat-reservation). [Updated October 26, 2026] A "WAITING LIST POSITION CHECKING" button has been added at the top of the registration page, linking to a dedicated lookup page (play-system.eu/naruto-waiting-list, titled "Naruto Demo - Waiting list"). Entering a Bandai ID (Bandai Membership Number, full number including leading zeroes) returns your own reservation and your position on the waiting list, and the page states "The list is updated on Tuesday and Friday mornings; the final update will be on 30/10/2026." — updates on Tuesday and Friday mornings, with the final one on October 30, day three of the event. The official site (naruto-cardgame.com) says nothing about a waiting list. We can confirm that a waiting list is in operation, but we cannot confirm from our environment whether all 63 sessions are full, so the status stays open. [Updated October 31, 2026] The lookup page is unchanged and still reads "The list is updated on Tuesday and Friday mornings; the final update will be on 30/10/2026," but that announced final update date (Friday, October 30) has passed. Checking with a Bandai ID over the remaining two days (October 31 and November 1) will therefore not show a changed position (the page describes updates as happening "when staff import a new list," so the imports themselves ended on October 30). We leave the status as open because the event is still running, but no further movement up the waiting list will be reflected in the list from today. [Updated November 2, 2026 — event closed] **Lucca Comics & Games 2026 ended on November 1, 2026, so this status is now set to finished.** The five-day run of tutorial sessions operated on the published timetable of 63 slots in total (13 a day from 09:15 at 45-minute intervals until 18:15 on October 28–31, and 11 slots from 09:15 to 16:45 on November 1), and the waiting-list lookup page stopped at its announced final update on Friday, October 30. Capacity per session was never published. The next demo sessions open to applications or bookings are the BCG Fest Taipei "Teaching Session" (deadline November 3, 2026 local time) and Japan's Premier Demo Events (entries for the January dates open December 1, 2026). Note that the Tabletop.me sessions (Dubai, UAE, November 6–8) are not listed on this hub, because the official page states registration is planned to take place on-site on the day, with no advance application or booking.

The official page states registration opens first come first served from "06:00 PM CET on Wednesday, October 14", handled by the external online shop Weeztix. Registration is limited to one event per person, and attempting to circumvent the limit means exclusion from all tutorial sessions. The participant gift is a CP-001 Chakra Card (registration to the TCG+ "NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL" and a post-session survey required). The official playmat (US$35 +tax) is offered to tutorial participants, but unlike at SPIEL Essen it is first come first served within a daily allocation, and eligibility is valid only on the day attended. Entry to Paris Games Week is required separately. [Checked October 15, 2026] The registration time stated on the official page has passed, so we list the status as open. However, the Weeztix storefront requires JavaScript, and our checking environment could not read the session list, remaining places or capacity (the official page carries no timetable either). Note that the original wording says "CET", while October 14, 2026 falls inside European summer time (CEST = UTC+2). [Updated October 26, 2026] The official page gives the period as "Period: October 22 – 25, 2026", and as of today (October 26) the event has ended, so we have moved the status to finished.

Application page not yet available

[Updated October 27, 2026] This window has closed. The JF guide on the Jump Festa 2027 official site now displays 「応募受付は終了しました」 ("applications have closed"); results are due around 9:30 on Monday, November 2. Anyone not covered by this window, or who missed it, must use the general "admission ticket application" opening at 10:00 on November 2. Restricted to digital magazine subscribers or holders of the Jump Master Reader Card (Weekly Shonen Jump annual purchase card). Anyone else must use the general "admission ticket application" opening at 10:00 on November 2. A lottery for admission tickets to Jump Festa 2027 (Saturday December 19 and Sunday December 20, 2026, at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall, halls 1-9 and 11; admission free). This is not a product preorder or sales lottery. We list it as a NARUTO Card Game registration because the official "New Info Revealed! Oct. 2026" page states, in Japanese, English and English (Asia), "The next big reveal is coming in December 2026, at Jump Festa!" Applying requires installing the "Jump NAVI" app and registering a free account (a different app from BANDAI TCG+). Venue hours are 9:00-17:00 with last entry at 16:30, noted as "Some stage programmes run after 17:00." The Jump Super Stage slot for NARUTO is on DAY 1 (Saturday, December 19) from 16:55 to 17:25 - the final Super Stage slot of DAY 1, with Junko Takeuchi, Noriaki Sugiyama and Chie Nakamura appearing - starting 25 minutes after last entry. The original-work official site (naruto-official.com) NYCC roundup states, immediately after its "NARUTO Card Game info also revealed!" section, that at the Jump Festa 2027 NARUTO Jump Super Stage "we plan to deliver follow-up news on the information announced this time," and the card game is one of the items announced this time. But the only project named for that stage is the new manga NARUTO SHADOW RISING ("follow-up news will be announced at the Jump Super Stage!!"); the card game and the mobile game Naruto Mobile are pinned only to "Jump Festa" as an event. [Updated November 3, 2026] Whether the card game features in the stage slot is now confirmed: the official "Jump Festa 2027 exhibition information" published November 2, 2026 states that "within the NARUTO programme of the Jump Super Stage, the latest NARUTO Card Game information will also be revealed!" (though the Jump Festa 2027 official site's stage page still does not mention the card game — only the card game's own site says so). The Jump Festa 2027 official site has since published its maker-booth listing (30 companies in the exhibition zone, 15 in the Jump Festa Market), with "BANDAI / BANDAI SPIRITS" in hall 4 of the exhibition zone under the tags exhibition, merchandise and hands-on. There is still no standalone "NARUTO CARD GAME" entry in that listing, so the booth number and its position within the hall remain unconfirmed. The NARUTO Card Game exhibition contents (the booth demo deck tutorial, the two CP-001 routes, merchandise and the stage slot) were published on November 2, 2026. What remains unannounced is the tutorial's times and capacity, the number of CP-001 cards, the substance of the "latest information" to be revealed on stage, and the admission lottery odds and ticket count.

Period: Approximately 17:00 Italian time on each event day, October 28 (Wed) – November 1 (Sun), 2026 (about 1:00 the next morning JST) / cancellations and no-shows only / all five windows read Closed on appearance (finished) / €42.90 (VAT incl.)

Go to application page

[Checked 08:14 JST / 00:14 CET, October 31, 2026] The October 30 re-release was also created as a "23rd reservation window" ("17:00" / "30 October 2026" / "Collection: 30 Oct 17:00" / status `Closed`). Re-release windows following the reservation-date-equals-collection-date pattern have now been confirmed three days running, on October 28, 29 and 30. All three were `Closed` by the time we checked the next morning, however, so neither the quantity nor whether even one sold can be read from the page. What remains are the roughly 17:00 slots today (October 31) and on the final day (November 1). With all 20 advance booking windows (lucca-2026-playmat-reservation) sold out as of October 26, 2026, this re-release is the only remaining route to buy the "NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027-" on site at Lucca Comics & Games 2026. It is spelled out on the page run by Play-system in Italy, the target of the English official site's "Playmat Ticket Page" button: "Any remaining playmats resulting from cancellations or no-shows will be made available for reservation on the same booking page, starting at approximately 17:00 each event day, subject to availability." Every day of the event (October 28 – November 1) is on winter time (CET), so 17:00 CET is about 1:00 the next morning in Japan (our calculation; the page gives no Japan time). The first occurrence is the opening day, October 28, 2026 — today. Three cautions apply. (1) The source attaches "subject to availability", so it does not say stock will appear; coming from a complete sell-out of all 20 windows, the only source of stock is cancellations and no-shows. (2) It says "approximately", with no exact time. (3) No quantity is given (as with the advance windows, only "A limited number ... will be available each day"). Purchase conditions match the advance booking: purchase and collection on site only with no shipping, electronic payment only, a maximum of one playmat per person for the whole event, and a separate Lucca Comics & Games admission ticket for that day. Attending a tutorial session is not listed as a condition of purchase (tutorial registration is lucca-2026-tutorial-session). The price still stands three ways: €42.90 (VAT incl.) on Play-system's page, MSRP $35 (+tax) on the official site's Lucca page, and USD $40.00 on the BCG Fest merchandise list. [Checked at 08:17 JST on October 28, 2026, which is 00:17 CET in Italy] Today's re-release has not appeared at this point. The page footer reads "There are no available windows at the moment.", and the window labels are four "Closed" (collection today) and sixteen "Sold out". We will check this page every day of the event and update this entry. [Checked at 08:14 JST on October 29, 2026, which is 00:14 CET in Italy] We confirmed that October 28's re-release was actually created as a 21st reservation window. It prints `17:00` as its heading, `28 October 2026` as its date and `Collection: 28 Oct 17:00` for collection — breaking the "collection exactly one week after the reservation day" rule the other 20 windows follow, with reservation day, collection day and hour all identical (consistent with the re-release drawing on that day's cancellations and no-shows, though the source text does not say so). But because the state is `Closed`, the page does not show whether any playmat was actually released through it, how many, or whether even one sold. The source text also never says whether `subject to availability` applies to creating the window or to the stock inside it. At yesterday's check (00:17 CET on October 28) there were 20 windows, so the addition can be bounded to after 17:00 CET on October 28 and before 00:14 CET on October 29. Today's (October 29) re-release window has not appeared at this point (the footer still reads "There are no available windows at the moment."). The window labels are nine `Closed` (five for collection on October 28 — the original four plus the re-release — and four for October 29) and twelve `Sold out` (collection October 30 – November 1). [Checked 08:17 JST on October 30, 2026 = 00:17 CET Italian time] **We have now confirmed on two consecutive days that a re-release window is created on each event day.** October 29's re-release exists as a 22nd reservation window, printing `17:00` as its heading, `29 October 2026` as its date and `Collection: 29 Oct 17:00` for collection — exactly the rule of the 21st (October 28's). Its state is `Closed` like the 21st, however, so the page does not show how many were released or whether a single one sold. Today's (October 30) re-release window had not appeared at this point (the footer still reads "There are no available windows at the moment."; 17:00 CET is about 1:00 on October 31 JST). The page now lists 22 windows in total: by HTML class, class="closed" ×14 (the 12 windows for October 21-23, whose collection dates have passed, plus the two re-release windows) and class="soldout" ×8 (collection on October 31 and November 1). Three re-release occasions remain: October 30, October 31 and November 1. The waiting-list checker (play-system.eu/naruto-waiting-list) is unchanged too, still reading "The list is updated on Tuesday and Friday mornings; the final update will be on 30/10/2026." — and as October 30 is a Friday, this morning's update (Italian time) is the final one. [Updated November 1, 2026 — final day of the event] **The re-release window for October 31 appeared, completing a set of four for October 28, 29, 30 and 31** (shown as "17:00" / "31 October 2026" / "Collection: 31 Oct 17:00" / "Closed" — all four following the same reservation-date-equals-collection-date-and-time pattern). The total is 24 reservation windows, with class="closed" appearing 24 times and class="soldout" zero times (checked at 08:13 JST). **Today’s (November 1, 17:00) re-release window had not appeared at the time of this check** (the bottom of the page still reads "There are no available windows at the moment."; 17:00 CET is around 01:00 JST on November 2). **Today’s roughly 17:00 re-release is the last chance to buy during the entire event.** The scheduled windows finished being released on October 25 per the page’s "Reservations will open progressively from October 21 to October 25, 2026", so no more will be added. All four re-release windows show "Closed", so the page does not reveal how many playmats each released or whether any sold at all, and the original "subject to availability" caveat still applies. The waiting-list page is unchanged, and because its announced final update date (Friday, October 30) has passed, positions will not move on the final day. [Updated November 2, 2026 — event closed] **The re-release window for November 1 at 17:00 appeared, completing a run of five consecutive re-release windows on October 28, 29, 30, 31 and November 1** (shown as "17:00" / "01 November 2026" / "Collection: 01 Nov 17:00" / "Closed", all five following the same rule of identical reservation date, collection date and hour). The page now holds 25 reservation windows in total, with `class="closed"` at 25 and `class="soldout"` at 0 (checked 08:17 JST on November 2, 2026; HTTP header `date: Sun, 01 Nov 2026 23:17:27 GMT`, i.e. 00:17 CET on November 2 in Italy). **Lucca Comics & Games 2026 closed on November 1, so this status is now set to finished.** All five re-release windows read "Closed" from the moment they appeared, so the page gives no indication of how many playmats each release held or whether any sold. Quantities per window, per day and for the event as a whole remain unpublished by both the official site and the organiser after the close. The page body (€42.90 VAT included, one per person for the whole event, electronic payments only, valid same-day admission ticket required) and the closing line "There are no available windows at the moment." are unchanged from October 28.

[Updated October 31, 2026] The four windows opened on October 24 (collection October 31) also changed from "Sold out" to "Closed," so 16 of the 20 scheduled windows are `Closed` and the only `Sold out` ones left are the four opened on October 25 (collection on the final day, November 1). Checked 08:14 JST / 00:14 CET on October 31, 2026; counting the three re-release windows, the HTML carries 19 `class="closed"` and 4 `class="soldout"`. The reading that a window turns `Closed` once its collection date arrives now holds for all 16 scheduled windows (the October 21–24 batches), four days running, without exception. Per the page body ("Reservations will open progressively from October 21 to October 25, 2026"), the scheduled one-week-ahead releases ended on October 25 — no further scheduled purchase windows will appear. [Updated October 28, 2026] On the day Lucca Comics & Games 2026 opened, we checked the same booking page and found that the four windows opened on October 21 (all for collection today, October 28) had changed from "Sold out" to "Closed" (checked at 08:17 JST, which is 00:17 CET in Italy; the HTML also carries four instances of class="closed"). The remaining 16 windows (collection October 29 – November 1) still read "Sold out", so two states now sit on the same page. In our October 24 update we recorded that the CSS defines a closed state yet used it on none of the windows, so this is our first sighting of the closed label (that October 24 statement is now out of date). We checked at 00:17 Italian time, before any of today's collections had happened (the first slot is 10:00). The trigger reads as sitting on the "has the collection date arrived" side rather than "has collection finished", but with no explanation in the source text we do not assert it. Note that Closed overwrites Sold out, so from today the page no longer shows that all 20 windows sold out; the course of the sell-out survives in our daily record (the article of October 22). [Updated October 25, 2026] The four windows that opened on October 24 (for collection on October 31) also read "Sold out", so 16 of the 20 windows are gone (checked on the morning of October 25, 2026, Japan time). Only the four for October 25 remain, all showing "Coming soon", for collection on November 1 — the final day of Lucca Comics & Games 2026. In Japan time they open on October 25 at 18:00, 20:00, 22:00 and 00:00 the next day (EU summer time ends at 03:00 on October 25 and Europe/Rome switches to CET, so they run an hour later than through October 24 — our calculation). Selling out on the day a window opens has now held four days running. The number available each day remains unannounced. [Updated October 24, 2026] The four windows that opened on October 22 and the four on October 23 also read "Sold out", so 12 of the 20 windows are gone (checked on the morning of October 24, 2026, Japan time). Only the four for October 24 and the four for October 25 remain, both showing "Coming soon", with the page footer still reading "There are no available windows at the moment." Selling out on the day a window opens has now held for three days running. The page's CSS defines five state labels (notyet / coming / closed / soldout / available), yet "Closed", which marks expiry, is used on none of the 12 — all 12 carry "Sold out". The number available each day remains unannounced. [Updated October 22, 2026] All four windows that opened on October 21 (each for collection at the same time on October 28) now read "Sold out". All 20 read "Coming soon" when we checked on the morning of October 21 (Japan time), so the first day's allocation sold out on the day its first window opened. This is the first "Sold out" label we have confirmed on a NARUTO Card Game product sales slot through an official route (what sold out at Gen Con 2026 was tutorial tickets). The remaining 16 windows run October 22–25: in Japan time, 17:00, 19:00, 21:00 and 23:00 on October 22–24, and 18:00, 20:00, 22:00 and 00:00 the next day on October 25 (EU summer time ends at 03:00 on October 25 and Europe/Rome switches to CET — our calculation). Every collection day (October 28 to November 1) is in CET, so "the same time one week later" holds in Italy while a 10:00 window maps to an 18:00 collection slot in Japan time. The number available each day remains unannounced. Details are in our article of October 22, 2026. [Updated October 21, 2026] We confirmed that the page carries the line "The playmat costs €42.90, VAT included." It was not there when we read the same page in full on October 15, and we cannot establish when it was added (the page has no Wayback Machine snapshot at all). This product now has published prices in three currencies (¥3,850 tax incl. / US$35 excl. tax / €42.90 VAT incl.). Our statement as of October 15 that "the euro price is unannounced" is wrong as of today and has been corrected. The number available each day is still unannounced. Details are in our article of October 21, 2026. A reservation to buy the "NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027-" (US$35 +tax) on site at Lucca Comics & Games 2026. The target of the official page's "Playmat Ticket Page" button — a page run by Play-system in Italy — lists all 20 booking windows with dates and times (all showing "Coming soon" as of October 15, 2026). Windows open each day from October 21 to 25 at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00 Italian time (Europe/Rome, as stated on the page), and each window corresponds to the same time slot on the event day exactly one week later (e.g. the October 21 10:00 window maps to collection on October 28 at 10:00). Purchase and collection are on site only with no shipping, payment is by electronic methods only, and a Lucca Comics & Games admission ticket for that day is required. A maximum of one playmat per person applies for the whole event, with checks stated to prevent the same person buying or collecting more than one. Anything left over from cancellations and no-shows returns to the same booking page from approximately 17:00 on each event day. The daily allocation ("A limited number ... will be available each day") and a euro price are unannounced. Attending a tutorial session is not listed as a condition of purchase (tutorial registration is lucca-2026-tutorial-session). [Updated October 26, 2026] The final four windows that opened on October 25 (for collection on November 1) also read "Sold out", so all 20 windows are now sold out. The foot of the page reads "There are no available windows at the moment.". A five-day run of four windows selling out on the day they opened has ended, and we have moved the status to finished. The only route left is the re-release spelled out in the original — "Any remaining playmats resulting from cancellations or no-shows will be made available for reservation on the same booking page, starting at approximately 17:00 each event day, subject to availability." — i.e. around 17:00 on each event day (about 1:00 the next morning JST), with the "subject to availability" caveat attached. The daily allocation remains unannounced even after the sell-out. [Updated November 1, 2026 — final day of the event] **The four remaining windows (collection today, November 1) also changed from `Sold out` to `Closed`, so all 20 scheduled windows now read `Closed`.** Across the whole reservation page the total is 24 windows (20 scheduled + 4 re-release), with class="closed" appearing 24 times and class="soldout" zero times (checked at 08:13 JST; the server’s HTTP header read date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 23:13:43 GMT, i.e. 00:13 CET on November 1 in Italy). The behaviour that a window turns `Closed` once its collection date arrives now holds across all 20 scheduled windows without exception. **However, because `Closed` overwrites `Sold out`, from today the page gives no indication that all 20 windows sold out** — there is no way to tell a sell-out from a window that expired with nobody booking it. The number of playmats per window, per day and across the whole event remains unannounced even on the final day.
