Magic Limited Championship

The upcoming Magic Limited Championship is a special tournament that puts the focus on Limited, supported by events across the world that will let the best Limited players qualify for this high-level Limited extravaganza. The Magic Limited Championship will take place in 2027, with qualifying events held in 2026. This is a new initiative, but for now it is considered to be just this event and its qualifying path. It's not a new series.

Description

The Magic Limited Championship will take place in 2027, with the exact date and location to be announced. It will be an Limited-filled three-day tournament with structures similar to the Pro Tour.

Qualifying

There will be multiple events in 2026 where players can qualify for this event. These events will be called Magic Limited Championship Qualifiers — or LTQs — and will be held in a variety of locations, both physical and digital. These events will feature different formats and invitation structures depending on their location.

Limited Championship Qualifiers may, in some regions, replace existing "open" events that award Regional Championship invitations and prize money. In these cases, the Regional Championship invitations and prize money will remain in place on top of the Limited Championship invitations awarded.

The following players will also receive invitations to the Magic Limited Championship:

• The Top 16 players after calculating the Booster Draft match results from each Pro Tour and Magic World Championship in the 2025–26 Premier Play Season 2025-2026 Premier Play season

(Six rounds per Pro Tour or World Championship)

• The winner of Magic World Championship 32
• Additionally, in the 2026–27 Premier Play Season, Magic Pro Tour Hall of Fame members will be allowed to use their yearly invite to enter one Pro Tour of their choice or the 2027 Magic Limited Championship.

There are four kinds of LTQs in 2026: events held at Regional Championships, events held at Spotlight Series events, events held at MagicCons, and events held on MTG Arena.
