BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest Is Coming to Orlando in January 2027

BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest is officially returning to Orlando, bringing four days of tournaments, exclusive products, giveaways, and activities to Central Florida. The event will take place from January 7–10, 2027, at the Orange County Convention Center, located at 9800 International Drive in Orlando.

The Orlando stop is part of the worldwide BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26–27 tour, which will visit 11 locations. Bandai has confirmed that the event will feature several of its major trading card games, including the Gundam Card Game, One Piece Card Game, Digimon Card Game, Union Arena, Dragon Ball Super Card Game, and Naruto Card Game.

For Gundam fans, Bandai has already revealed a special EXBP-034 EX Base 〈Gundam〉 BCGFest 26–27 Ver. promotional card as one of the event’s planned commemorative giveaways. The card will be available only while supplies last, and Bandai has not yet explained exactly how attendees will receive it.

Will Tickets Be Required?

Yes. Bandai says that anyone planning to attend the Orlando event must apply in advance through a BANDAI TCG+ account. Same-day visitors will not be able to participate, so fans should not plan on simply arriving at the convention center without registering first.

However, registration is not open yet. As of August 26, 2026, Bandai lists admission as “Coming Soon” and has not announced whether general entry will be free or paid, when applications will open, or when they will close.

Tournament entries may also have separate requirements, and certain championship events could be restricted to players who previously earned an invitation.

Before registration opens, fans should create or update their BANDAI TCG+ account and ensure the name on the account matches their government-issued ID. Bandai warns that identification may be checked at the event and that participation rights cannot be transferred to another person.

With four days of card-game action planned, this could become one of Orlando’s biggest gatherings for Bandai trading-card fans in 2027. Gundam Space Engineers will plan to be there, bringing coverage of the Gundam Card Game, event merchandise, announcements, and the overall fan experience.

Bandai is expected to release more information closer to the event. Until then, fans should watch the official Orlando event page⁠ for the registration schedule, admission price, tournament details, and full event program.
