At MagicCon Atlanta today, Wizards of the Coast lifted the lid on its plans for the next year of Magic: The Gathering, and after the whirlwind success of Final Fantasy earlier this year, the Universes Beyond sets are not going away any time soon: if anything, they’re going further and further beyond, where no one has gone before.
Well, except Edge of Eternities, which definitely felt like Wizards of the Coast setting itself up for one sci-fi crossover in particular that is now officially confirmed: a Star Trek set is coming in 2026.
Star Trek was just one of seven new sets revealed for Magic‘s 2026 roadmap, including a mix of Universes Beyond collaborations and traditional Magic sets—although, no doubt to the chagrin of some Magic players, tilted in the balance of crossover sets by 4 to 3.

January 2026: Lorwyn Eclipsed
For the first time since 2008, Magic is returning to the Celtic-inspired wilds and creepy critters of the plane of Lorwyn for a new set that sees students from the magical academies of Strixhaven venturing into the wilds in search of adventure and magic.
March 2026: Secret Universe Beyond Set
Eclipsed will be followed by an as-yet-unrevealed crossover set, but Magic players won’t have to wait long to learn what it is: details are coming at this year’s New York Comic Con, taking place in a few weeks from October 9 through 12.
April 2026: Secrets of Strixhaven
Tying into the theme of Eclipsed, it’s back to school in April for the second Strixhaven set. Secrets will pick up on characters and plot threats introduced in Lorwyn Eclipsed, as the students that went gallivanting off in that set return to the plane of Arcavios, where class is back in session. But after getting a taste for adventure, we’ll also be exploring more of Arcavios itself outside the collegiate halls of Strixhaven Academy.
