There's plenty of time to qualify for a Pro Tour in 2024, with Regional Championship Qualifiers for the second Pro Tour going on right now, and Regional Championships for the first Pro Tour in mid-swing.

However, whether you're all set for the first Pro Tour, or working your way towards the second, there's never a bad time to qualify, and the qualifying pathways for the third Pro Tour of 2024 will be opening up at the start of next year.

Upcoming Regional Championship Qualifiers

The third round of the 2023-24 season's qualifiers will begin on January 6, 2024, and will run until March 24, 2024. WPN stores and larger organizers that participate will be running Regional Championship Qualifiers (RCQs) that qualify players for the Regional Championship covering their respective region. Those Regional Championships will take place in Q2 of 2024 and will qualify for the third Pro Tour of 2024 in late June.

RCQs run at the WPN level for this round will either be Limited or Standard Constructed. Please note that larger events that are designated as "destination" qualifiers—events run in larger venues such as hotel ballrooms or convention centers—may be run as other Constructed formats as well. Please check with your local organizer for all specific info on qualifiers near you.

This round refreshes the Secret Lair promo card line-up for participants and top finishes, embracing a few two-mana sorcery spells that have been competitive mainstays in tournament Magic history.

January 6–March 24, 2024 Regional Championship Qualifier promo cards*:

• Feast your eyes—each and every one of them—on a far-out take of Explore, with art by BLUMOO! Play in an RCQ at a WPN retailer to get one in non-foil. Traditional foil versions may be available for larger events, but exact distribution will be determined by your region's program organizer.
• Go ahead. Express yourself! This new promotional version of Expressive Iteration—one of the most influential card-advantage spells for blue-red mages in nonrotating formats printed in recent history—has beautiful new artwork by Dominik Mayer and will be the featured prize for qualifiers starting in January. Non-foil copies will be available to top finishers at qualifying events, while those who earn their invitation to the Regional Championship will score a foil copy.

*Promotional cards received where available and while supplies last. Prize promo availability may differ by region and may change at Wizards of the Coast's discretion. Check with your regional tournament organizer and hosting game store for more information.
