Scheduled to take place from May 20 to 22, the MTG New Capenna Championship will feature gameplay in the formats of Constructed Standard and Historic. Six direct invites to the Magic World Championship are up for grabs, along with five invites for Magic Pro League players and eight invites for MTG Challenger players. Both the MPL and Challenger invites are based on total points earned throughout the season. 

Upon the completion of the New Capenna Championship, all 32 seats for the Magic World Championship will get decided, with a total of 13 seats before the tournament takes place already locked in.
