The Dallas Card Show brings its TCG-focused edition to the Allen Event Center complex on Saturday and Sunday, June 13–14, 2026, giving Dallas–Fort Worth's trading-card-game community a dedicated weekend just for the games they love. The Dallas Card Show is the largest card show series in the nation, and this TCG edition leans hard into the booming world of Pokémon, Magic, and beyond — making it a must-attend for collectors and players across the Metroplex who want a deep, focused floor without the wait for a flagship weekend.
This edition is built around trading card games. Expect aisle after aisle of Pokémon singles and sealed product across the current Scarlet & Violet era, plus vintage WOTC-era chase cards and graded slabs. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z are all well represented, with vendors carrying everything from bulk commons and budget binders to high-end alternate arts, first editions, and sealed booster boxes. You will also find graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs in locked cases, accessories and deck supplies, and even some crossover sports inventory for collectors who play in more than one lane.
Show hours run Saturday and Sunday, typically 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday — confirm exact hours on dallascardshow.com before you go. General admission is budget-friendly at around $15 per day, with VIP and all-access options available for early entry; children are welcome with a parent or guardian, making this an easy family outing. Tickets can be purchased in advance online or at the door.
The Allen Event Center sits about 30 minutes north of downtown Dallas in Allen, TX, with abundant free parking, a large climate-controlled hall, and an attached Marriott for out-of-town collectors who want to stay on site (a group booking link is posted on the show's website). Allen's central location in the northern suburbs pulls collectors from Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Dallas, and Fort Worth alike.
Who should attend? This show is built for TCG players and collectors first — Pokémon hunters chasing the latest pulls, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh! players topping off decks, One Piece and Lorcana collectors riding the newest waves, and grading-minded buyers comparing slabs in person. Families and first-timers will find plenty of affordable singles to dig through, while serious buyers can connect directly with dealers carrying premium chase cards and sealed cases.
To get the most out of the weekend, arrive near the Saturday open or grab a VIP early-entry pass — the freshest sealed product and the sharpest singles deals tend to move in the first hour. Bring cash for the fastest transactions, with Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a sorted want list with target prices plus penny sleeves and a top loader or two for your pickups. Bring a trade binder if you like to deal player-to-player.
