Disney Lorcana D23 2026: Exclusive Promos and CCQ Guide

Disney Lorcana D23 2026 brought together exclusive promos, the first Championship Qualifier of the 2026-27 season, and a panel full of future product announcements. D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event ran August 14-16 at the Anaheim Convention Center, with Disney Lorcana activities starting August 11. The panel also highlighted the first public card from the set after Attack of the Vine: Hyperia City, which prereleases October 16.

What Happened

D23 2026, Disney's flagship fan convention, ran August 14 through 16. Disney Lorcana's own programming started earlier: an August 11 game night at the Packing District kicked things off with demos and photo ops, followed by an August 12 Collection Quest at Angels Stadium that rewarded a Violet Parr - Learning New Powers promo card for completion.

The competitive centerpiece was the first Championship Qualifier of the 2026-27 season, held August 15-16. It was a 128-player Core Constructed event with a $75 entry fee, a full-day D23 badge required for both days, seven rounds of Swiss on Saturday, and a Sunday Top 8 single-elimination bracket. Alessio N, listed as Prince, won the event and earned an invite to the next North America Championship; Lorcana Player's season tracker records the result.

On the collector side, three promo cards were confirmed: Woody - Leader of the Toys (a Ravensburger booth gift with purchase), Sulley - The New Boss (a Collection Quest completion reward), and Violet Parr - Learning New Powers from the Angels Stadium event. Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor and Tigger - In the Crow's Nest were pins, with Tigger tied to purchases over $100. There was also the D23 2026 Collection, a six-card set of expanded, borderless foil cards in special packaging, which went on sale August 14 at select Disney stores and online storefronts as well as Downtown Disney.

The biggest reveal from the event was that the Collection's standout card is the first public card from the set after Attack of the Vine, now named Hyperia City. Ravensburger lists Hyperia City's prerelease as October 16, 2026, with full retail release October 23. The D23 card is Hector Rivera - Gone to Pieces, numbered 13/D23, a Ruby card with the Singer keyword from Coco. Our Hyperia City set preview covers the confirmed cards and the new ink drops mechanic. The Friday, August 14 panel at the Backlot Stage also previewed Into the Inkdark for Q1 2027, a villain-focused set including Hades, and Cosmic Quest for later in 2027.

The same panel also confirmed that a digital version of Disney Lorcana is in development for desktop and mobile. Ravensburger gave no release date or public testing window, only a signup page at disneylorcana.com/digital for developer updates.

Why It Matters

For competitive players, the D23 CCQ is a useful early result from the 2026-27 season. Its 128-player field and seven Swiss rounds made it a meaningful benchmark before the next wave of qualifiers. If you're building for a future event, our rotation guide covers which sets are legal in Core Constructed, but always confirm the event's current rules before registering.

For collectors, the supply story is different for each item. The D23 2026 Collection was distributed through select Disney stores and online storefronts as well as the event, while the booth promos and pins were tied to specific D23 activities and supplies. Secondary-market prices can move quickly, so check current listings and recent sales before buying.

The Hyperia City reveal matters for anyone planning around the October release. Hector Rivera - Gone to Pieces was available in the D23 Collection before the main set, while the official product page now lists October 16 for prerelease and October 23 for the broader release. The D23 panel also established the set's ink drops mechanic and introduced several locations and characters beyond the early collection card.
