Illumineers, mark your calendars again. The Disney Lorcana D23 Challenge Championship Qualifier tournament entry tickets now go on sale July 14, 2026 at 12 p.m. PST, a change from the initial June date, and Ravensburger has released the full format, prize structure, and prep steps players need to complete before that moment hits.
D23 is already shaping up to be the biggest Disney fan event in years — track every announcement at the FLN D23 2026 Complete Guide. This CCQ carries real stakes: a spot in the field, prizes, and a direct path to the championship level of competitive Lorcana.
A CCQ, or Challenge Championship Qualifier, is a Premier Play tournament within the Disney Lorcana Challenge program. It’s Core Constructed format, with 128 players competing across seven rounds of Swiss play on Saturday before the Top 8 returns Sunday for single-elimination.
Tournament Dates and Schedule
The CCQ still spans two days at the Anaheim Convention Center. Day 1 is Saturday, August 15, covering the seven rounds of Swiss play. Day 2 is Sunday, August 16, for the Top 8 bracket. The field remains capped at 128 players, and you must hold a valid full-day D23 badge for both days to participate.
Tickets, Pricing, and How to Get In
The big change: tickets go on sale July 14, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. PST, not June 29 as originally announced. Tickets are $75 per player, one ticket per registered guest, sold exclusively through Eventbrite at D23CCQ2026.eventbrite.com. The CCQ ticket is separate from your D23 badge and not included with general admission.
Ravensburger is administering registration directly and recommends two setup steps before the sale:
- Create or verify your Eventbrite account ahead of time and confirm you can log in, so there’s no password reset scramble at noon on July 14.
- Create a Ravensburger Play Hub (RPH) account at tcg.ravensburgerplay.com. Every CCQ player needs one; it’s how Ravensburger tracks tournament participation and results, and you’ll need your RPH username at event check-in.
With only 128 spots against thousands of badge holders, Ravensburger is telling players plainly that waiting until the link goes live is likely too late.
The tournament winner earns an invitation to the Disney Lorcana Challenge North American Championship for next season. Additional prizes go to the Top 8, and every player in the field receives a participation prize.
More Lorcana at D23 2026: The CCQ isn’t the only Lorcana activation Ravensburger is bringing to Anaheim. A Disney Lorcana Collection Quest runs Friday, August 14 through Sunday, August 16 at the Ravensburger Gaming Area, letting guests trade with each other to complete quests for a collectible promo card. Ravensburger is also hosting its first-ever Speed Puzzling team events on August 14, with three one-hour sessions racing to complete new Disney Lorcana 300-piece puzzles; tickets for those also go on sale July 14 through Ravensburger.
FLN recently covered the limited Rapunzel High Climber Playmat drop via EQL fair-access sale, and bringing this much programming to D23 itself is another level entirely.
Our Take: The date push from June 29 to July 14 is the story here, and it’s worth flagging because if you were operating off the original announcement, you’d be watching the wrong day. The upside is Ravensburger gave players real lead time and a concrete checklist this time around: Eventbrite account, Ravensburger Play Hub account, both squared away before noon PST on July 14. If you play Lorcana and you’re headed to D23, treat this like any other high-demand drop. Set the reminder, log in ahead of time, and don’t rely on convention Wi-Fi if you’re trying to buy on site.
