After the overwhelming success of the May edition, the show is expanding across three full days, giving attendees even more time to trade, explore, and connect. From Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! to football cards, UFC, Disney, and beyond, the weekend offers something for collectors of every age and interest.

One of the headline guests this August is celebrated anime voice actor Lisa Ortiz, best known for her roles in Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Sonic X. Fans can enjoy signings, panels, and hear behind-the-scenes stories from her career in TV, film, and video games.

Popular creators PokiChloe and PokeDean will also return, following a standout appearance last show that featured in a viral YouTube video alongside Ace Grading and PokeRand. Known for their high-energy box breaks and huge following in the Pokémon community, their return promises even more memorable moments.

The Main Stage will be packed with new programming and returning favourites. Highlights include the Pokémon Trainer Challenge with Shelby and Professor Dan, a fun LCS twist on the game show format Risk It or Keep It, and a live-streamed box break on Whatnot and Fanatics Live.

Families and young collectors can look forward to the return of the Kids Zone, including Box Breaks with PokiChloe and PokeDean, the Kids Exclusive Trade Zone, and the opportunity to design their own Topps Match Attax card. There’ll also be appearances from mascot Hector the Collector, the Pokémon Pack Battle with Vault X, and the debut of Brotherhood Games’ Pokémon School, where children can learn, play, and grow their collections in a welcoming space.

Major names in the industry will be present with exciting activations. Whatnot returns for the fourth year with its largest presence yet, hosting live box breaks, auctions, and giveaways. Topps will feature a huge interactive installation, while Vault X will showcase its latest innovations including the SV10.5 Binder series. Orders for the new range close 21st July.

eBay will be introducing eBay Live, their brand-new live shopping experience. Visitors can check out their mobile eBay Live studio on Saturday and Sunday—the first time it’s been brought to an in-person event.

Founder Harry Reynolds says the upcoming event marks a new high point for the show: “We continue to be blown away by the passion and support of the trading card community. The atmosphere and energy are what make every event a milestone for us. August will take everything people love about the show and build on it, with more time to trade, even bigger experiences, and some amazing surprises still to come. The passion from the card community is what drives us, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for what’s set to be our best event yet.”

With a unique blend of trading, entertainment, community, and exclusive opportunities, The London Card Show continues to set the standard for collectors and fans alike. Tickets are expected to sell fast, so early booking is strongly recommended.
