NARUTO CARD GAME at BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in Manila: October 24 to 25, 2026

BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 is Bandai's own festival for its card game titles, announced on July 29, 2026 for eleven locations worldwide. Manila is the second stop and the second one where the NARUTO CARD GAME has its own page, posted on August 21, 2026, two weeks after the Jakarta page went up.

Where and when

One Ayala sits at the top of Ayala Avenue in Makati, above the transport terminal, which makes it an unusually easy venue to reach for a card game festival. Bandai does not say which level or which hall the games occupy, and publishes no booth numbering for any title.

What Bandai's NARUTO page says

The Manila page follows the same template as Jakarta's, with one line added: after saying that BANDAI CARD GAMES titles are gathered in Manila and that there will be events and products for sale for each title at the venue, it adds "We hope people will come join us and have fun." Under Information on Event it lists Pre-Registered Side Event and Teaching Session, then Event Commemorative Items, each behind a Learn More link rather than a description. The notice at the foot asks readers to read the BANDAI CARD GAMES Official Events Disclaimer before joining, and the page repeats the standard warning that its contents may change or be cancelled without notice.

The Asia English pages say "Teaching Session". Bandai's English pages for Orlando and London say "Tutorial Session" for what looks like the same kind of table. Bandai has not explained the difference, so we use each page's own word.

Registration has closed

The Learn More link on Bandai's NARUTO page leads to the Fest site's NARUTO CARD GAME page for Manila, dated Aug. 21, 2026. It names one activity, the Teaching Session, and gives the registration period as August 21 to September 3, 2026, the winner announcement as September 17, 2026 onward, and the prize as CP-001 Chakra Card. The Fest's Pre-Registration page says the event "is open only to participants who have been selected through the lottery" and that same day registration or entry will not be available.

One oddity: the Fest's page files the Teaching Session under Pre-Registered Event at the top and heads the detail block On-Site Registration Side Event. Bandai does not explain the second label, and the page publishes no on site registration process.

What the page does not say

• No hours. Neither October 24 nor October 25 has a start or finish time on the Naruto page, and as of October 5, 2026 the Fest's Manila page does not print hours either.
• No registration steps on the NARUTO page. The window, August 21 to September 3, 2026, is on the Fest site and has closed.
• No commemorative item detail on the NARUTO page. Event Commemorative Items is a heading. The Fest's NARUTO page names CP-001 as the Teaching Session prize without saying on what condition it is given.
• No booth, no capacity, no age limits, no per person session limit.

The Fest programme around it

The Fest's own Manila page supplies the weekend's shape. It lists the NARUTO CARD GAME alongside the DIGIMON CARD GAME, the ONE PIECE CARD GAME, UNION ARENA, the DRAGON BALL SUPER CARD GAME Fusion World and the GUNDAM CARD GAME. It says the event will require application in advance, that registration runs through the BANDAI TCG+ app, and that face photo verification is mandatory and may take a week or longer, which is why it tells people to register early rather than on the day. It describes tournaments pitched at everyone from beginners to experienced players, commemorative merchandise on sale, and a commemorative item given out to attendees as they enter the venue. It closes with the same disclaimer about change or cancellation.

Read those two pages side by side and the honest summary is that the Fest has a clear process and the NARUTO CARD GAME has a heading inside it. A game with no released product cannot run the kind of tournament the other six titles will run, which is presumably why the Naruto line reads Teaching Session.

Where Manila sits in the run

The Fest calendar runs Jakarta on October 10 to 11, Manila on October 24 to 25, Bangkok on November 21 to 22, Hong Kong S.A.R. on November 28 to 29, Singapore on December 5 to 6, Kuala Lumpur on December 12 to 13, Taipei on December 19 to 20, Shanghai in December with dates still to be announced, Orlando on January 7 to 10, 2027, London on January 15 to 17, 2027 and Tokyo on February 20 to 21 and March 6 to 7, 2027. Bandai's NARUTO site has a dedicated page for nine of the eleven. Shanghai and Tokyo do not have one yet. Kuala Lumpur and Taipei gained theirs on September 04, 2026, which our news report covers.

The product picture changed on October 13, 2026: three Starter Decks and Booster Pack 01 are announced for June 2027, with no set code, card list or price yet, and a $20 Chakra Set vol.00 and $40 Naruto vs. Sasuke playmat go on sale at Premier Demo Events from January 2027. The convention playmat stays at $35 plus tax and the only promo code in public is CP-001. Release is June 2027, worldwide and simultaneous.
