How often are Magic: The Gathering tournaments held?

Most stores run a weekly Magic: The Gathering event plus occasional one-off events such as prereleases and championships. Dates are published a few days ahead, one week at a time.

How do I sign up for a tournament?

Open the event. When the sign-up page is known, the event shows a Register button that opens it. Otherwise, open its official listing if there is one, or ask the store. Registration happens on the organizer's platform (RK9 Labs, UVS, Bandai TCG+, EventLink, Melee, Omnidex, Google Forms or the store's own page). TCG Calendar never holds your spot.

• Keep your Player IDs in the app and copy yours in one tap when you register.
• Tap I'm going and see which friends are going too.
