2024 World Championship Details

The World Championship is the highest caliber of competition in Yu-Gi-Oh!, inviting the best Duelists from around the world into one single event to determine the new King of Games!

Master Duel in World Championship

The physical card game and Duel Links are separate divisions in the event, each having their own tournament.

2024 will mark the second time Master Duel will be one of the games participating in the World Championship, following last year's debut!

NOTE: Duelists can participate in Qualifiers for all three categories, but players can only choose one to compete in if they qualify for multiple categories.

World Championship Qualification

Unique to Master Duel, the WCS Finals will be played through a Team Battle format, with Duelists competing in teams of three Region Representatives--one selected from the winners of the WCS Qualifiers or Duelist Cups, and two hand-picked players chosen by the top player of the Qualifiers.

The games will be played in another Round Robin of 3v3, and the first team to 5 wins will advance. There is a maximum of 9 Duels possible if the Duels are closely contested.

The Final Tournament will be on September 10, 2024, JST Time (GMT+9). The winner of the Final Tournament will be crowned Master Duel World Champions!
