Pokemon TCG product release dates for English-language collectors run from October 2 to December 4, 2026 across nine official entries, and only one of them, Delta Reign on November 6, is a full expansion.
The dates in this calendar come from pokemon.com: the 30th Celebration product showcase (June 30, 2026), the individual product-gallery pages, the Delta Reign expansion announcement, and the Delta Reign prerelease page dated September 28, 2026. Each row below says whether its date is official, reported by a news outlet, or not stated anywhere.
We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures for our listings convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
Delta Reign is dated November 6, 2026 on pokemon.com, with a Build & Battle Box sold from October 24 at select Play! Pokémon Stores. Seven more dated 30th Celebration English items fall between October 2 and December 4. No official English price appears on any of these pages, and no English set for 2027 is listed on pokemon.com as of September 29, 2026. For Japanese sealed product, the M6 Storm Emeralda Booster Box (Sealed option) is currently listed at ¥11,165 (~$72).
- The Delta Reign prerelease page (dated September 28, 2026) confirms the Build & Battle Box: sold from October 24, 2026 at select Play! Pokémon Stores.
- The October and November monthly product-list pages on pokemon.com are not published as of September 29, 2026.
Q4 2026 English Dates at a Glance
Every row in this table carries an official date. The source column names the type of pokemon.com page that prints it. As of September 29, 2026, none of these pages states a price.
| Date (2026) | English product | Official contents | Source / status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 2 | 30th Celebration Booster Bundle | 6 booster packs | Official: product showcase, June 30, 2026 |
| Oct 2 | 30th Celebration Mini Tins | 2 booster packs, a sticker sheet and an art card; ten artworks form two images (day and night) | Official: product showcase, June 30, 2026 |
| Oct 24 | Delta Reign Build & Battle Box | 4 booster packs, a 40-card ready-to-play deck, 1 of 4 foil promos | Official: prerelease page dated Sept 28, 2026; select Play! Pokémon Stores |
| Oct 30 | 30th Celebration Battle Deck—Espeon ex & Umbreon ex | All-foil 60-card deck, deck box, coin, playmat | Official: product showcase, June 30, 2026 |
| Nov 6 | Mega Evolution—Delta Reign (expansion) | Over 135 cards | Official: expansion page and announcement |
| Nov 6 | 30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection | 1 Ditto promo, 1 acrylic card display, 8 booster packs, TCG Live code card | Official: product-gallery page |
| Nov 6 | 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collections—Day & Night | 29 booster packs plus 1 Classic Collection pack, promos, playmat, sleeves, deck box, metal coin | Official: product-gallery page |
| Nov 6 | 30th Celebration Figure Collection—Mew & Mewtwo | Foil and oversize promo, sculpted figure, 5 booster packs | Official: product showcase, June 30, 2026 |
| Dec 4 | 30th Celebration Binder Collection | 9-pocket binder, 5 booster packs | Official: product-gallery page and showcase |
Three labels are used in this calendar. Official means the date or fact is printed on a pokemon-card.com, pokemon.com or tcg.pokemon.com page. Reported means a news outlet published it, named with its date, and the official page does not confirm it. Not stated means neither source gives it. The Build & Battle Box line deserves one extra note: the official page says it is sold from October 24 at select Play! Pokémon Stores, which is a store-event date, not a nationwide retail date.
Mega Evolution—Delta Reign: What the Official Pages State
Delta Reign is the only full English expansion with a date inside Q4. The expansion page on pokemon.com prints the facts in the table below, and little else: it lists no prices and no product-gallery entries beyond the prerelease Build & Battle Box.
| Detail | What pokemon.com states | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | November 06, 2026 | Official |
| Set size | Over 135 cards | Official |
| Trainer cards | More than 20 | Official |
| Special illustrations | More than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards | Official |
| Standard legal | Yes | Official |
| Featured cards | Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex, Mega Golisopod ex | Official |
| Prerelease product | Build & Battle Box, sold from October 24, 2026 at select Play! Pokémon Stores | Official, page dated Sept 28, 2026 |
| Prices | None printed | Not stated |
| Other products (Booster Box, Elite Trainer Box and so on) | No product-gallery entries as of Sept 29, 2026 | Not stated |
The Build & Battle Box in one paragraph
The Build & Battle Box is the one Delta Reign product with an official listing. It contains 4 Delta Reign booster packs, a 40-card ready-to-play deck and 1 of 4 foil promos: Masquerain, Magmortar, Enamorus or Kommo-o. Its wide-retail date and price are not printed on the pages as of September 29, 2026.
30th Celebration English Products: Dated and Already Released
The English 30th Celebration expansion launched on September 16, 2026. Per pokemon.com, each booster pack holds five foil cards, including one of 30 unique illustrations of Pikachu, and one foil Basic Energy card. The packs are sold only inside products, so the Q4 dates below are product dates.
No pokemon.com page prints a price for these products, so no MSRP is stated officially. The Binder Collection date is December 4, 2026 on both the official showcase and the official product page.
What the three November 6 collections contain
The Ultra-Premium Collections—Day & Night page describes two SKUs, each with a foil Pikachu ex promo (day or night theme, illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN), a foil Espeon ex or Umbreon ex promo, a playmat, 65 sleeves, a deck box, a metal coin (Espeon or Umbreon), 6 damage-counter dice, 29 booster packs, 1 Classic Collection booster pack of 3 Classic Collection cards, and a TCG Live code card. The Ditto Premium Collection holds 1 Ditto promo, 1 acrylic card display, 8 booster packs and a TCG Live code card. The Figure Collection—Mew & Mewtwo holds a foil promo and an oversize card of Mew or Mewtwo, a sculpted figure (Mew by Taro Murai, Mewtwo by Daichi F Sugimoto, both produced by Kaiyodo) and 5 booster packs.
Released September 16, 2026
Six English items carry the September 16 date on pokemon.com’s September list. They are already released, so they sit outside the Q4 dates above.
| Product | Official contents |
|---|---|
| Knock Out Collection | A foil Eevee card, a plastic coin and two 30th Celebration booster packs |
| Tech Sticker Collection | 1 foil promo (Alolan Exeggutor or Lucario), 1 tech sticker sheet, 3 booster packs |
| Poster Collection | 3 booster packs, 3 foil promos (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres), 1 double-sided poster |
| Pokémon ex Box—Sylveon ex & Greninja ex | Sylveon ex or Greninja ex as a foil promo in ready-to-play and oversize versions, 4 booster packs |
| Elite Trainer Box | 9 booster packs, 1 full-art promo Nidorina, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, 65 sleeves, dice, coin, collector’s box |
| Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box | 11 booster packs, 2 full-art foil Nidorina promos (one with a Pokémon Center logo), otherwise as the standard box |

English Expansion Dates Since September 2025
These eight English expansions, from Mega Evolution in September 2025 to Delta Reign, are listed with the official card count and the number of days after the previous one. The day counts are arithmetic on the printed dates. They are not a forecast.
| English expansion | Release | Official card count | Days after previous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Evolution | Sept 26, 2025 | Over 180 | — |
| Phantasmal Flames | Nov 14, 2025 | Over 120 | 49 |
| Ascended Heroes | Jan 30, 2026 | Over 290 | 77 |
| Perfect Order | Mar 27, 2026 (the set page prints no date) | Over 120 | 56 |
| Chaos Rising | May 22, 2026 | Over 120 | 56 |
| Pitch Black | July 17, 2026 | Over 115 | 56 |
| 30th Celebration | Sept 16, 2026 | Over 150 | 61 |
| Delta Reign | Nov 6, 2026 | Over 135 | 51 |
Between Pitch Black on July 17 and Delta Reign on November 6 there are 112 days, and the 30th Celebration expansion on September 16 falls inside that window. The Perfect Order date is the one entry in this table that does not come from an official set page, so the 56-day gaps on either side of it inherit that caveat. For the Japanese release rhythm behind these English sets, see our Japanese Pokemon card sets in order list.
Japan in Q4: What Is Officially Announced
English collectors who watch the Japanese calendar find a shorter list. As of September 29, 2026, the official news list on pokemon-card.com contains no announced Japanese expansion or high-class pack name, code, date or price for November 2026 through 2027.
| Date | Japanese item | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 16, 2026 | 30th CELEBRATION Card Set x9: ¥1,200 (tax included) each; every set holds foil promos of a regional starter trio, 2 packs of 30th CELEBRATION and a paper card stand | Official: 30th.pokemon-card.com |
| Nov 1, 2026 | MEGA promo card pack lineup update (the lineup updates every three months, at the start of the month) | Official: pokemon-card.com news |
| Announced Aug 31, 2026 | New series logo “ex★”, with Mega Lucario Z ex (メガルカリオZex) as the featured card; the page gives no release date, set name or price | Official: pokemon-card.com news |

The nine Card Set versions cover Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle; Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile; Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip; Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup; Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott; Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie; Rowlet, Litten and Popplio; Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble; and Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly. The official page does not list which cards the packs contain.
Our full Japanese card lists are on the 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) card list and the MEGA series card list.
Reported, Not Official
Several dates circulate in Q4 coverage that no official page prints. Each row names the outlet and date, then says what the official page does or does not show.
| Report | Outlet and date | What the official page shows |
|---|---|---|
| A Japanese set headlined by Mega Lucario Z ex, released Friday November 27, 2026, under the working name “Aura Seeker” (ハドウシーカー) | PokeBeach, May 2026; SNKRDUNK Magazine, updated August 18, 2026, calls it a rumor based on SNS speculation | pokemon-card.com lists no such set, date or price. The August 31 page names the ex★ logo and Mega Lucario Z ex only. |
| An English release of that set in January 2027 | Wargamer, updated May 26, 2026 (a prediction; the article says the set is not yet announced) | pokemon.com lists no English set for 2027. |
| Delta Reign product lineup: Booster Box, Elite Trainer Box, Pokémon Center ETB, blisters, Build & Battle Box, Booster Bundle | PokeBeach, August 20, 2026, based on article images | pokemon.com lists the Build & Battle Box only. |
| Delta Reign prereleases running October 24 to November 1 | PokeBeach, August 20, 2026 | The official end date is not stated on the pages. |
| Delta Reign “should include” the 110+ cards of Japan’s Storm Emeralda set | PokeBeach, August 20, 2026 | pokemon.com does not name a Japanese set. |
| USD prices for the 30th Celebration English products | PokeBeach, June 2026 | No price on pokemon.com product pages. |
None of these rows is used anywhere else in this calendar as a fact.
English Items and Their Japanese Counterparts
No official source states that an English set equals a Japanese set. The table records what the official text does say.
| English item | Japanese product | What official sources say |
|---|---|---|
| 30th Celebration (Sept 16, 2026; over 150 cards) | MEGA expansion pack 30th CELEBRATION (M6a), Sept 16, 2026, ¥360 per pack | Same name and same anniversary. pokemon-card.com says the 30th products release worldwide simultaneously; the English pages do not name M6a. Read it as the same name, not as a statement that the sets are identical. |
| Delta Reign (Nov 6, 2026; over 135 cards) | Expansion pack Storm Emeralda (ストームエメラルダ), M6, July 31, 2026 | Not stated officially. PokeBeach (Aug 20, 2026) reports a link. |
What can be stated card by card is which Pokémon named on the Delta Reign page also appear in Storm Emeralda. The numbers below are from the official Japanese card database. They show the same Pokémon, not the same cards.
| Featured on the Delta Reign page | Same Pokémon in Storm Emeralda (M6) |
|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza ex | 058/076 RR, 095/076 SR, 110/076 SAR (PSA 10 back order ¥91,453 (~$594)), 113/076 MUR (PSA 10 back order ¥226,216 (~$1,469)) |
| Mega Golurk ex | 033/076 RR, 093/076 SR, 109/076 SAR |
| Mega Malamar ex | 048/076 RR, 094/076 SR |
| Mega Golisopod ex | 009/076 RR, 089/076 SR, 107/076 SAR |

How to Check a Date Before You Plan Around It
- Find the page type. A pokemon.com product-gallery page prints “Launch: <date>”. A news post prints the date in its headline or body. A search snippet or a retailer listing is neither.
- Separate store-event dates from wide dates. The Build & Battle Box line says it is sold from October 24 at select Play! Pokémon Stores. That is not a wide-release date, and no wide date is printed.
- Look for a price on the page. No pokemon.com page prints an English price as of September 29, 2026, so any dollar figure you see comes from a media outlet or a retailer.
- Note the retailer wording. The product pages name the Pokémon Center and “where Pokémon TCG products are sold”, without listing stores.
- When two sources disagree, use the official one. A date on a pokemon.com product page or showcase outranks a media list or a retailer listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Pokemon TCG Delta Reign English release date?
pokemon.com dates Mega Evolution—Delta Reign at November 06, 2026. The prerelease Build & Battle Box is sold from October 24, 2026 at select Play! Pokémon Stores, according to the prerelease page dated September 28, 2026. Neither page prints a price.
Which English Pokemon TCG products release between October and December 2026?
Nine official entries are dated: 30th Celebration Booster Bundle and Mini Tins (October 2), the Delta Reign Build & Battle Box (October 24), the Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Deck (October 30), Delta Reign, the Ditto Premium Collection, the Ultra-Premium Collections and the Figure Collection (all November 6), and the Binder Collection (December 4).
How many cards are in Mega Evolution—Delta Reign?
pokemon.com states “Over 135 cards”, including more than 20 Trainer cards and more than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations. The page prints no exact total, so “over 135” is the only official count as of September 29, 2026.
How much do the Q4 English Pokemon TCG products cost?
No pokemon.com page prints a price for the Q4 English products as of September 29, 2026, and an official MSRP is not stated for Delta Reign. Any dollar figure seen for the 30th Celebration items comes from media or retailer reports, not from The Pokémon Company, so check the product page at the time of purchase.
Has an English Pokemon TCG set for 2027 been announced?
No English 2027 set is listed on pokemon.com as of September 29, 2026. Wargamer, updated May 26, 2026, predicts January 2027 for an English version of a rumored Japanese set, and says that set has not been announced by The Pokémon Company. It is a prediction, not an official date.
Is Delta Reign the English version of Storm Emeralda?
No official source says so. pokemon.com does not name a Japanese set for Delta Reign. PokeBeach reported on August 20, 2026 that Delta Reign “should include” the cards of Japan’s Storm Emeralda. The official Japanese database lists the same Pokémon, such as Mega Rayquaza ex, in Storm Emeralda.
When does the 30th Celebration Binder Collection release?
The official showcase and the official product page both give December 4, 2026. The Binder Collection holds a 9-pocket binder and 5 booster packs, per its product page. Neither page prints a price, so an official MSRP is not stated as of September 29, 2026.
Which Japanese Pokemon products can I buy while the English dates are pending?
These Japanese products are currently listed: the M6 Storm Emeralda Booster Box, the M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box, and the FUTURISTIC BOX (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). Each product page shows the current terms. For other Japanese items, sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
