Start with UNION ARENA while the NARUTO Card Game waits for 2027
Bandai announced the NARUTO Card Game on 2026-06-18 for a worldwide 2027 release, so a Naruto starter bought today is a UNION ARENA set.
Key points
- Bandai announced the NARUTO Card Game on 2026-06-18.
- The worldwide release is 2027, so nothing standalone is on sale yet.
- Match the number and language before choosing deck or booster.
Starter
Lock the card number and the language first. Once you know which printing you are buying, decide between a starter deck, which gets you playing straight away, and a booster, which is a buy for opening.
For the game itself, see the NARUTO Card Game page (Cantonese). For Japan addresses, see the verified shop list (Japanese). To compare online platforms on one scale, read the platform comparison.
FAQ
Can I buy a NARUTO Card Game starter deck now?
Not the standalone one. It is a 2027 release, so a Naruto starter bought today comes from UNION ARENA instead.
Starter deck or booster?
Decide after you have matched the number and language. A starter deck gets you playing, while a booster is for opening rather than learning.
When was the game announced?
On 2026-06-18, with a worldwide release planned for 2027.
