Nauctis: The Sunken Realm: 5 February 2027

A brand-new plane: an endless ocean with cities beneath the waves, gods that swim with their followers, and merfolk, seals, homarids and a few humans caught between two warring kingdoms. It's also the first set with Wizards' new Booster Packs (the renamed Play Boosters) and God Packs, where 1 in 1,000 packs is all rares and mythics.

Kamigawa: Titanbreach: 4 June 2027

An Omenpath opens over Kamigawa's city of Towashi and a chunk of Ikoria crashes through. Wizards pitches it as Ikoria's monsters against Kamigawa's mechs, and you can play either side.

Zhalfir: 1 October 2027

Zhalfir returns as a plane in its own right, with Teferi coming home. Wizards describes it as Magic's take on afrofantasy, and as a set that honours the era of Magic that Zhalfir comes from.

Universes Beyond: 9 April, 6 August and 19 November 2027

Wizards' 2027 roadmap lists three unannounced Universes Beyond sets on these dates. We'll add the names as they're revealed. Recent Universes Beyond sets are in our Universes Beyond range.

Standard rotationWizards' rule is that once a year, after the first premier set prerelease of the year, the six oldest sets leave Standard. In 2027 that's the Nauctis prerelease, so Nauctis is also when Standard rotates.

How UK Magic release dates work

1Prerelease weekLocal game stores run prerelease events in the week before release, usually Friday to the following Thursday. You build a deck from prerelease packs and play on the day.
2MTG ArenaThe digital version usually lands a few days before the tabletop release (Star Trek: 10 November).
3Release dayMain sets release worldwide on the same date, including the UK.
4Secret LairMost Secret Lair drops are sold online from MagicSecretLair.com rather than in shops.

Our take

November is the big one: Star Trek on the 13th, with MagicCon: Atlanta the same weekend and more Nauctis news likely soon after. If you want a prerelease seat, book it with your store in October.

Early 2027 is where things change. Nauctis brings Standard rotation, the new Booster Pack name and God Packs all at once, so expect plenty of questions at the counter in February.
