The official Riftbound 2026 roadmap: set releases, Regional Qualifiers, conventions and events through the end of the year, all gathered in a single calendar.

📅 Published: June 1, 2026🔄 Last updated: June 1, 2026

Riftbound keeps growing and, with the French-language expansion, this is the right moment for a fresh roadmap running through the end of the year. The next State of the Game is expected in August and will bring another update, but the French events already deserved a place in the overall picture. For the details on the new sanctioned tournaments and the French circuit, read our deep dive on the Riftbound Showdown Series and Le Rift Tour.

Below you'll find the set release dates, the official Regional Qualifiers, the conventions and everything we can share about the coming months. You won't yet find venues and dates for the Regional Championships: those are coming soon.
