An Arena Championship is a digital Magic: The Gathering tournament played on MTG Arena, as part of the greater Premier Play system. Arena Championships were introduced in the 2022–23 Pro Tour Season, replacing the Set Championships.[1][2]

Description

MTG Arena Premier Play pyramid

Arena Championships mark the pinnacle of competition within MTG Arena. They happen three times per year, just like the new Pro Tour that was introduced in the same year.

Each Championship features 32 top players, determined by four months' worth of competitive ladder and event play on MTG Arena. They compete for a $200,000 prize pool. Each of the three winners and three runners-up of Arena Championships will also earn a seat at the World Championship.

Qualifying

There will be four monthly Qualifier Weekends feeding each Arena Championship. The Qualifier Weekend itself consists of two days of Best-of-Three matches in a shared format. As the number of direct qualifiers are often not sufficient, some at-large invitations are given out. Additionally, some players who were unable to pair with an opponent by the end of the event but had a high win record may be granted invitations.

Awards

There is a $200,000 prize pool which will be awarded to competitors based on their final standing in the tournament.

Place Prize
1st $30,000 and World Championship invite
2nd $20,000 and World Championship invite
3rd-4th $15,000
5th-8th $10,000
9th-12th $7,000
13th-16th $5,000
