Magic Spotlight: Secrets

Join us for Magic Spotlight: Secrets in London, UK, from May 8–10, 2026!

The Magic Spotlight Series is a multi-day Magic: The Gathering celebration that brings major events to cities around the world. Each event shines a spotlight on a specific theme, which influences all the weekend’s activities.

In London, we’ll celebrate Secrets of Strixhaven, the brand-new Magic: The Gathering set released on April 24, 2026. Magic Spotlight: Secrets will feature a flagship main tournament—a two-day Standard Constructed open event with a $50,000 prize pool, a promo card for all participants, and invitations to the upcoming Pro Tour Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel Super Heroes (at MagicCon: Amsterdam) for the Top 8 finishers.

Along with the main event, visitors can join various side events (including Modern, Commander, Eternal, and Sealed), participate in meet & greets with artists, and shop with our featured vendors.

Side Event Highlights:

• Commander Creator Colosseum: play with friends, foes, and a dozen content creators, including Kyle Simmons (from the band Bastille) and Jack Saunders (BBC radio DJ and presenter)
• Limited Championship Qualifier: your chance to qualify for the 2027 Magic Limited Championship. 
• Competitive Qualifiers: multiple Regional Championship and Destination Qualifiers for upcoming European Magic events.

Entry to the hall is free!
