Worlds Showdown 2026

➡️ Buy Tickets Here!

➡️ Check my timezone Player meeting at 8:00 PDT, 11:00 EDT, 15:00 UTC. Round 1 starts 30 minutes later.

Showdowns are fairly casual events and I make a special effort for them to be approachable and inviting for newer players. If you've never played in an online (or any) tournament before, this is a great place to start. There is even a bonus prize if this is your first online Showdown! The online Showdowns are an awesome way to make connections with Netrunner players all around the globe! 😃 This will be another epic Netrunner tournament bringing together new and old players of all skill levels for a wonderful day of connecting with friends and hacking servers 🥳

Games will be played on showdown.playnetrunner.net. I will be coordinating the event through the Null Signal online events hub Discord server. You can join the server here.

How long will the tournament be? This is going to be a large event. On day one, I expect 10 rounds of single sided swiss plus two short breaks which should take 9-10 hours. On day two, we will play a top 16 finals; this will be a standard double elim cut with the same start time as day one. You're definitely not required to play the whole event to get prizes. I'm sure some people will end up dropping part way through.

The Showdowns are made possible thanks to volunteers! If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out this google from.


What happens if I buy a ticket and can't make it? You have two choices. First, I can refund your ticket. The earlier you can register the better it is for me and I don't want that to cost you if your plans change. The second option is to keep your ticket and I will ship you any prizes you selected as part of the ticket. You can even buy a ticket with no intention of playing just to support the event and pick up some cool cards!


Affordability My main goal for running the Showdown tournaments is to increase access to competitive Netrunner and help connect our global community. I make an effort to keep the base ticket price affordable, but I want to make sure finances aren't a barrier for anyone who would like to play and receive prizes. If you are hesitant to play because of the cost, you have a few options.

First of all, anyone can play completely free without a ticket (tickets are only required to receive physical prizes). If you would like to play without receiving prizes, all you need to do is register on Cobra and show up in the Discord events hub at the start of the event. Without a ticket, you can still win any non-physical prizes and Beans.

If you want to play and receive prizes but paying for a ticket would prevent you, use the discount code NETRUNNER4EVERYONE for 100% off the base ticket price. This discount code does not have unlimited uses. Please use one if it would help, but only if you plan to participate in the event. If the free tickets happen to run out, you can check again later as quite a few players donate to fund additional free tickets. ❤️

Alternatively, if can pay something but the full ticket price would be a burden, you're welcome to take $6 off with the code 18$TICKET. I really want to avoid the ticket price being a financial barrier, and I'm hoping to make sure anyone who wants to play can participate. ❤️

These discounts are available thanks in large part to my Patrons on Patreon! If you’re interested in supporting my events, check out my Patreon. (There are extra goodies for being a member!)

Add-On Worlds Showdown 2026 Souvenir Prize

Laser-cut iridescent acrylic Zahya Dragon ID! Illustration by Aleksandra Simonović. This iridescent variant is exclusive to the 2026 Worlds Showdown. Fancy, shiny things are fun and it’s nice to have something extra special to remember the event!

Placement Prizes

Early Registration (first 48 hours only) - Ob by Brindelmold

2 wins (6+ points) or played all rounds of Swiss
1x Showdown Exclusive variant of Hannah “Wheels” Pilintra by V4lvi_
This 2-wins prize will be repeated at all Showdowns in 2026. Because of the way I ship the prizes I can only afford to include a single card in the new 2 wins slot. I spent a long time trying to figure out a good option and Hannah is both useful if you have only a single copy, and still fun to collect a full playset. A slightly less epic version of this card will also eventually be available on my site, but this version will be exclusive to Showdowns in 2026.

3 wins (9+ points) or played all rounds of Swiss
