The West Coast Card Show heads to the Ontario Convention Center May 28 through 31, 2026, for a special TCG and non-sports edition — a four-day deep dive into trading card games and everything beyond the sports-card world. While its sister Anaheim shows lean sports, this Ontario installment is built for the trading card game crowd, filling the convention center at 2000 East Convention Center Way with TCG dealers, sealed wax sellers, graders, and play space. It's about a 45-minute to one-hour drive from Long Beach out the 91 and 60 into the Inland Empire — a worthwhile trip for collectors chasing singles and sealed product they won't find at smaller local shows.
The floor is a TCG paradise. Pokémon anchors it — singles and sealed product across every era, from vintage WOTC Base, Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Gym, and Neo sets through modern Scarlet & Violet releases, Japanese-language product, promos, and graded slabs in PSA, BGS, CGC, and Ace flips. Magic: The Gathering runs deep with Modern, Legacy, Commander, Standard, and Vintage staples, Reserved List rarities, foils, and the latest Universes Beyond crossover sets. Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, Flesh and Blood, Digimon, Weiss Schwarz, and a long tail of indie TCGs all get real table space. The non-sports angle brings in vintage non-sport card sets, Garbage Pail Kids, movie and TV cards, Funko Pops, anime merch, retro video games, and pop-culture collectibles.
Across four days the show layers in sealed-product blowouts, live and group breaks, on-site grading submissions, in-store and tournament play, vendor specials, and giveaways. The extended window and TCG focus make it the kind of event where players and collectors plan multiple visits — hit a weekday for a relaxed dig and the weekend for the biggest crowds and best energy.
Hours typically run from late morning into the evening on the main days, Pacific time, with VIP early access available — confirm the exact daily schedule, ticket tiers, and any tournament registration at westcoastcardshow.com as the date approaches. Single-day and multi-day passes are sold online in advance; buying ahead is the move. Check the current children's admission policy when purchasing.
The Ontario Convention Center is at 2000 East Convention Center Way, Ontario, CA 91764, just off the I-10 near Ontario International Airport, with ample on-site and nearby parking and plenty of hotels and restaurants in the immediate area — convenient if you want to stay over for the full run. The venue is climate-controlled, spacious, and easy to navigate.
This show fits Pokémon and TCG collectors, competitive players, sealed-product investors, and non-sports and pop-culture collectors first, though anyone who loves digging through deep, varied inventory will enjoy it. For the best experience, arrive early for sealed drops, bring cash plus Venmo and PayPal, and carry a detailed want list with target singles and price ceilings. Pack deck boxes, penny sleeves, top loaders, a trade binder, and a slab case. Follow @westcoast_cardshow on Instagram for vendor lists, the finalized schedule, and drop announcements.
