Road Map
In a nutshell, each region’s final Champion Cup or Regional Qualifier will determine the top two players advancing to the CookieRun: Braverse TCG World Championship 2026. The road map is seen as below:
United States and Canada (US/CA – ENG ver.)
North America has three major events planned from July 2025 through February 2026.
- Brave League S1 starts in July and ends in August 2025.
- Brave League S2 follows from October 2025 to January 2025.
- Champion Cup (Winter) will be held in December 2025 onwards and serves as the region's main qualifier.
Brave League Season
The Brave League Season is the official competitive circuit for CookieRun: Braverse TCG, awarding players Brave Points through local events. Each participating card shop can host up to four Brave League tournaments monthly, where players earn points tracked on the PLAY site’s “Seasons” tab. The top 32 players at the end of each season will earn exclusive rewards, including promo cards, booster boxes, playmats, and sleeves, while the top 16 also receive a coveted seed invitation to the 2025 North America Champion Cup. Brave League Season 1 runs from July 11 to September 30, followed by Season 2 from October 10 to January 8, subject to change with product release schedules. Even after playing four Brave League events a month, players can still join more events to collect Cookie Coin Points for merchandise.
The Champion Cup
The Champion Cup is the premier North American tournament for CookieRun: Braverse TCG, held twice yearly in summer and winter to crown the regional champion. Scheduled tentatively for November or December 2025, the Champion Cup invites the best players from the Brave League seasons. Exclusive prizes, such as winner’s promo cards and playmats for the top 16 finishers, will be awarded, with full details and additional placement rewards to be announced closer to the event. The Champion Cup represents the pinnacle of competitive play in the region and is a crucial stepping stone for players aiming for international recognition.
Cookierun Braverse Release Schedule
To support a unified competitive experience for the CookieRun: Braverse TCG World Championship 2026, the product release schedule across all regions has been carefully structured. The expansion sets from BS1 to BS8 will form the core tournament-legal format leading up to the World Championship in April 2026.
South Korea (KR ver.)
South Korea has a steady monthly release pattern to support its highly competitive scene.
- BS6 releases in March 2025, followed by BS7 in June 2025.
- Combined sets ST6–7 arrive in August 2025, designed to complement BS7.
- BS8 launches in October 2025, followed by BS9 in January 2026.
By March 2026, players in Korea will have access to BS1 through BS9, aligning them fully for the Championship.
Taiwan (TC ver.)
Taiwan follows a synchronized path with Korea but begins slightly earlier.
- BS5 hits the market in March 2025, and BS6 follows in May.
- BS7 arrives in August, then ST6–7 releases in October.
- BS8 and BS9 are scheduled for December 2025 and February 2026, respectively.
Somehow the developers will want Taiwan region to sync with Southeast Asia in terms of its release schedule.
Southeast Asia (ENG ver.)
Southeast Asia adopts a combined release strategy for faster onboarding and competitive parity.
- BS3+4 launches in March 2025, followed by BS5+6 in June.
- The ST6–7 release arrives in October 2025, alongside BS7 in August.
- BS8 and BS9 roll out in December 2025 and February 2026, respectively.
This rapid consolidation ensures players in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam remain tournament-ready.
North America (US/CA – ENG ver.)
North America uses a unique approach by combining two booster packs into one set for streamlined competitive readiness.
- ST1–5 and BS1+2 launch simultaneously in July 2025.
- BS3+4 comes in October 2025, followed by BS5+6 in January 2026.
- ST6–7 and BS7+8 release in March 2026, just in time for the Championship.
This catch-up strategy allows North American players to participate competitively with identical card pools as Asia.
Closing
The World Championship 2026 will feature an exciting competitive format, incorporating all booster sets from BS1 through BS8. By March 2026, all regions will gain access to these expansions, creating a globally synchronized tournament meta. Each region’s final Champion Cup or Qualifier, held between January and March 2026, will utilize this shared format.
This alignment guarantees fairness and consistency, no matter where you play. Players can prepare their decks knowing they’ll face competitors using the exact same pool of cards.
