The Magic: the Gathering 2022 World Championship, or Magic World Championship XXVIII, is the 28th Magic World Championship and will be held at the end of the 2021–22 Players Tour Season. It will feature a prize pool of $250,000.[1] It will be a 32-player event, up from 16 players in previous years.
Qualification
- The 2021 Magic: The Gathering World Champion
- Finishing in the Top 6 of any 2021-22 Championship event—the Innistrad Championship, Neon Dynasty Championship, or New Capenna Championship.
- Becoming one of five (5) MPL or Rivals players with the most World Championship Qualifying Points during the 2021-22 Season.
- Becoming one of eight (8) non-MPL and non-Rivals players with the most World Championship Qualifying Points during the 2021-22 Season.
- Receiving an at-large invitation, eligible to all players within and outside of the leagues, through earning the most World Championship Qualifying Points during the 2021-22 Season to ensure a total of thirty-two (32) competitors for Magic World Championship XXVIII.[2][3]
Players that earn invitation through a Top 6 finish in a Championship do not create pass-down invitations by finishing in the Top 6 in multiple events, and do not factor into at-large invitations based on WQCPs. Any player with multiple qualifications for the World Championship creates an at-large invitation—and if no player secures multiple qualifications, then there will be no at-large invitations.
