Every Pokémon TCG set releasing in 2026, English and Japanese, with UK release dates. Dates are the official release dates as announced; The Pokémon Company moves them occasionally, and when it does we update this page and any pre-orders affected.
Where a set is open for pre-order or in stock, the status links straight to it. Pre-orders are charged when you order and dispatched as soon as stock reaches us – normally on or just after release day. Everything we sell is verified sealed before it goes out.

How the year usually runs
Pokémon releases four main English expansions a year, roughly one a quarter, with a special set (no booster boxes – Elite Trainer Boxes, bundles and tins only) usually landing in the gap. Japanese sets run a few months ahead of their English equivalents, which is why Japanese boxes are often the first look at new artwork – and why a Japanese release date is a good guide to when the English set will follow.
If you want a set the day it comes out, pre-order: allocations for popular sets are decided before release, and the first run is usually what sells out. Our delivery and FAQ pages cover how pre-orders and dispatch work.
