The Mile High TCG Tournament and Card Show takes over the Red Lion Hotel Denver Southeast in Aurora for a full weekend on Saturday and Sunday, August 22 and 23, 2026, combining a sanctioned trading card game tournament series with a robust vendor floor for an unforgettable two-day TCG experience. This hybrid event format gives competitive players the chance to test their skills in tournament play while collectors and casual fans enjoy the vendor floor packed with Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and more.
The vendor floor features dedicated TCG dealers specializing in Pokemon and other popular trading card games. Pokemon vendors bring raw singles spanning every generation from base set to the latest Scarlet and Violet expansions, sealed product including elite trainer boxes and Japanese imports, and graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and CGC. Magic: The Gathering vendors stock Commander staples, sealed draft boxes, and singles across all major formats including Modern, Pioneer, Standard, Legacy, and Pauper. Yu-Gi-Oh! tables feature singles and sealed product from current and classic sets, while One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, and Flesh and Blood vendors round out the TCG offerings. The dedicated tournament hall hosts Pokemon TCG side events, Magic Commander tournaments, Yu-Gi-Oh! locals, and One Piece organized play throughout both days, with prize support and entry fees that vary by event.
The Mile High TCG Tournament and Card Show runs Saturday, August 22 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday, August 23 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Vendor floor general admission is $10 per day or $16 for a weekend pass. Children under 12 are admitted free with a paying adult. Tournament entry fees are separate and vary by event format — full schedules and registration are available at milehightcgtournament.com.
