Upcoming MTG Sets: Kamigawa, Ikoria, Zhaflir and Nauctis in 2027

Looking forward to upcoming MTG sets? You’ve come to the right place, as below you’ll find everything that’s coming out in 2026. But what’s perhaps even more exciting is that we’re getting additional details about the 2027 sets soon.

UPDATE: (July 17th) The three sets will be revealed momentarily, and you’ll be able to find them below. Currently, we’re getting new Reality Fracture spoilers.

Upcoming MTG Sets 2026

2026 is the first year that includes seven Standard-legal sets:

• Lorwyn Eclipsed (MTG lore, already released)
• Unknown “Nickelodeon” Set (Universes Beyond, already released)
• Secrets of Strixhaven (MTG lore, already released)
• Marvel Super Heroes (Universes Beyond, already released)
• The Hobbit (Universes Beyond)
• Reality Fracture (MTG lore)
• Star Trek (Universes Beyond)

For each, there’s a short description of what to expect below. If you want to know more, check the attached links for further details.

The Hobbit

• Release Date: August 14, 2026
• The Hobbit Spoilers
• The Hobbit Box Toppers
• The Hobbit Products
• Set Symbol:

A few years back, one of the most popular Universes Beyond sets was released with Lord of the Rings. It sold like hot cakes, and it was a perfect fit for MTG aesthetics. Thus, it’s not a big surprise that we’re going there and back again with The Hobbit.

So prepare to go to Middle-Earth once more, this time with Bilbo Baggins and thirteen Dwarves to find the long-lost treasure guarded by Smaug.

It’s very likely that this set will be a massive success, especially since we’re also getting The Hobbit Box Toppers, with some amazing cards, such as The One Ring.

Reality Fracture

• Release Date: October 2, 2026
• Reality Fracture Spoilers
• Reality Fracture Commander Precon
• Set Symbol:

Reality Fracture is the great finale of the overarching story that started with Wilds of Eldraine back in 2023. This set will be similar to War of the Spark or March of the Machine lore-wise. It’s going to be the epic culmination of the story, that was present in Magic for three years.

The tagline for the set is: “The Multiverse meets its match.” Based on what we’ve seen so far, that’s not exaggeration. The set seems to be full of mirrored characters from all over Magic’s past.

So, prepare to find blue Chandra, white Liliana and other planeswalkers in colors you’d least expect them in. Lately, all Magic-themed sets were extremely popular, and this one will likely be as well. It does look like a love letter to enfranchised players with a ton of callbacks.

Star Trek

• Release Date: November 20, 2026
• Star Trek Spoilers
• Star Trek Commander Precons
• Set Symbol:

Last set of the year is another collaboration, this time with the iconic series that is Star Trek. There’s a fairly large overlap between fans of that iconic show and Magic, so this might be another banger of a set.

You can expect Spock, James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Data, and many others. Which ones will you use as commanders? Let us know in the comments below.

Upcoming MTG Sets 2027

As you probably imagine, seven Standard sets is a lot. Thankfully, in 2027 we’re getting six sets total. Three are Universes Beyond sets, and for those we’ll need to wait a little longer.

However, the other three sets are proper Magic sets, happening on new and returning planes. We’ll know which ones momentarily (on July 17th, 2026).

Current predictions include:

• brand-new underwater plane
• return to Alara or Ikoria
• return to Amonkhet or Zhalfir

A few sets were just confirmed, including:

• brand-new underwater plane Nauctis
• return to Kamigawa and Ikoria
• Zhalfir

Nauctis

• Release Date: February 5, 2027

Underwater world, with a bunch of Merfolk and other sea-based fantasy creatures. The Humans here are the outsiders.

Kamigawa Titanbreach

• Release Date: June 4, 2027

Ikoria clashes with Kamigawa in a classic mechs versus monsters fashion.

Zhalfir

• Release Date: October 1st, 2027

A world of eternal darkness, that’s heavily inspired by Afro-fantasy.

Universes Beyond Sets

There will be three Universes Beyond sets, and while we don’t know their names, we know their release dates:

• April 9
• August 6
• November 19

Mystery Booster Commander Edition

Finally, there’s a supplemental product coming later in 2026 called Mystery Booster Commander edition, featuring cards such as:
