Hong Kong Trading Card Show 2026 Returns To AsiaWorld-Expo

Hong Kong’s biggest trading-card weekend returns to AsiaWorld-Expo, and tickets are already moving fast. The Hong Kong Trading Card Show takes over AsiaWorld-Summit (Hall 2) on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, 2026, packing the floor with rare Pokémon, NBA and football rookies, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh! stacks that kids actually recognise from the playground.

First-time families can treat it as a treasure hunt. There are live box breaks, lucky draws, and on-site grading, so collectors can hand in a prize card in person instead of mailing it away. Dealers, collectors, and enthusiasts come in from across Hong Kong and the rest of Asia, which means plenty of tables to browse and plenty of people happy to talk shop. Grab tickets and check the full exhibitor list on the official show site before you go.

The Scoop: What to Expect

The hall is a dealer grid, not a theme park. Kids who already trade at school will light up at the raw packs, graded slabs, and One Piece art. Live breaks and draws pull a crowd and a queue, so stand off to the side if your child is shy. On-site grading is the grown-up headline: drop off a card and skip the international mail wait.

A few practical notes. Bathrooms and food courts sit just off the halls, and the venue is step-free from the MTR. Strollers roll fine in the concourse but stall between tables. Bring a small zip pouch, set a budget before you walk in (cash plus PayMe or Alipay is common), and agree on one rule in advance: unopened packs stay sealed until everyone sits down. Parking is available at AsiaWorld-Expo if you drive, though the Airport Express plus MTR route is easier when you are carrying bags.
