The Showdown Series is a new Bushiroad-sanctioned series of tournaments that replaced the Championship program after the fourth season.

The Showdown and Circuit tournaments from the Championship program have been combined into Showdown Challenges, which each official store may host once per series. In addition to promo cards and other prizes, the champion of each Showdown Challenge will also receive a one-round bye at the Grand Showdown of that series.

Grand Showdowns are highly competitive tournaments where players can win exclusive prizes, including an unsponsored invite to the next Bushiroad Championship Series World Finals. Starting from Showdown Series 4, Grand Showdowns will be held once every quarter across all regions simultaneously. More details will be revealed soon!

All events will be open to players from around the world.

The current schedule is as follows:

 

• Showdown Series 3
  • Showdown Challenges: January to February 2025
  • Grand Showdown Someren 2025: March 22, 2025
  • Location: Het Keelven (Kuilvenweg 4, 5712 GX Someren, Netherlands)
