The NTX Sports Card Show returns to NTX Arena in Lewisville on Saturday and Sunday, October 3–4, 2026, delivering a sports-cards-only weekend right in the thick of football season and the run-up to basketball tip-off. The NTX series is the premier recurring card show in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and this sports edition leans all the way into balls and slabs — making it a must-visit for anyone who lives for the chase of a rookie card, a vintage star, or a freshly graded gem.
This edition is built around sports. Expect aisle after aisle of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, soccer, and golf cards spanning every era — modern Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome prospects, Panini Prizm, Select, Mosaic, Donruss Optic, and National Treasures, plus deep vintage runs of Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Upper Deck. With football in full swing and basketball season opening, expect fresh rookie inventory and lively hot-player trading on the floor. Graded slabs are everywhere — PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC cases line the higher-end tables — alongside sealed wax for box breakers, game-used and autographed memorabilia, team and player lots, and plenty of dollar boxes and quarter bins for set builders and bargain hunters. Supply vendors round out the room with top loaders, magnetics, sleeves, and storage.
Show hours typically run 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday — confirm the exact schedule on txcardshows.com before you go. Admission is affordable, with single-day and weekend passes plus early-bird options for first crack at fresh inventory; children are welcome with a parent, so it works well as a family weekend. Tickets are available online in advance and at the door.
NTX Arena sits at 2401 South Stemmons Freeway in Lewisville, right off Interstate 35E in the center of the DFW corridor — about 25 minutes from both Dallas and Fort Worth. There is ample free on-site parking, a large air-conditioned hall, and easy highway access that draws collectors from Denton, Plano, Carrollton, and across the Metroplex. Concessions are on site, and the Stemmons corridor offers plenty of dining for a mid-show break.
Who should attend? This is a sports collector's show first and foremost — ideal for set builders, vintage hunters, modern rookie chasers, grading-minded buyers comparing slabs in person, and dealers looking to restock or move inventory during the busy fall season. Casual fans and families will find plenty of affordable boxes and bins to dig through, while serious buyers can connect directly with vendors carrying high-end singles and memorabilia.
To make the most of it, arrive at the Saturday open or grab an early-bird pass — the best vintage and the sharpest-priced rookies move fast in the first hour. Bring cash for the quickest deals, with Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a sorted want list with target prices plus a loupe for inspecting corners and edges. Pack a slab case and extra top loaders for your pickups. For confirmed dates, hours, table availability, and tickets, visit txcardshows.com and follow NTX Card Show on Instagram and Facebook.
