Wednesdays are about to become much more exciting, with a brand-new weekly Pokémon opening series joining the collection adventures. Pack Rip Wednesdays will bring regular pack openings, collection hunts, viewer predictions and, hopefully, some incredible pulls along the way.
The first episode will arrive on Wednesday, 18 November 2026 at 7:00 pm, with a new opening planned for the same time each Wednesday.
What is Pack Rip Wednesdays?
Pack Rip Wednesdays will be a weekly Pokémon TCG pack-opening series built around the different collection adventures.
Some weeks might focus on finding cards for the Eevee and Eeveelution collection. Other episodes could help fill gaps in the Pokedex collection, compare different sets in a pack battle or let viewers choose which packs should be opened.
Most standard episodes are expected to feature around six booster packs. Special episodes, milestones and holiday openings may be a little larger, while occasional budget challenges may use fewer packs.
The aim is to make every opening part of a bigger collecting story rather than simply opening packs and moving on.
The weekly schedule
Each week will follow a simple three-post schedule.
Monday: Weekly teaser
The week will begin with a short teaser revealing the theme, showing some of the packs or giving viewers a choice to make.
Monday teasers may include questions such as:
Which card do you think will be the best pull?
Which Eeveelution might appear?
How many new Pokedex entries will we find?
Which packs should be opened?
Which side will win the pack battle?
These teasers will be shared on Facebook, with short-form video versions also appearing on YouTube where appropriate.
Wednesday at 7:00 pm: The main pack opening
Wednesday is the main event.
Each episode will introduce the week’s goal, open the selected packs and check whether any of the cards can be added to one of the collections.
The regular release time will be:
Every Wednesday at 7:00 pm
Keeping the same day and time each week should make it easier for everyone to know when the next opening is coming.
Thursday: The best-pull reveal
The following day, the standout pull, favourite artwork or most useful collection addition will be shared.
Even when the packs do not produce a major hit, there may still be an interesting card, a new Pokedex entry or something worth celebrating.
The opening six-week season
The first six weeks will introduce several different Pack Rip Wednesday formats.
Week 1: Series Launch
Wednesday, 18 November 2026
The first episode will introduce Pack Rip Wednesdays, explain how the series will work and begin the weekly opening tradition.
Week 2: Eeveelution Hunt
Wednesday, 25 November 2026
The packs will be opened with one goal in mind: finding something useful for the Eevee and Eeveelution collection.
Week 3: Pokedex Challenge
Wednesday, 2 December 2026
Before the packs are opened, viewers will be invited to predict how many new Pokedex collection entries will be found.
Week 4: Viewer’s Choice
Wednesday, 9 December 2026
Two possible pack selections will be presented, and the community will decide which option gets opened.
Week 5: Budget Pack Battle
Wednesday, 16 December 2026
Two similarly priced pack selections will compete to see which one delivers the better pulls, artwork and overall opening experience.
Week 6: Christmas Special
Wednesday, 23 December 2026
The opening six-week run will finish with a larger festive episode, featuring a special pack selection and a look back at some of the best pulls from the series so far.
How to get involved
Pack Rip Wednesdays will be more fun when everyone gets involved.
Before each episode, you will be able to leave predictions, vote between different packs and suggest future opening themes. After the opening, you can help choose the best pull and share which cards you would have added to your own collection.
Suggestions for future pack battles, collection hunts and special episodes will always be welcome.
The countdown begins
The first Pack Rip Wednesday arrives on Wednesday, 18 November 2026 at 7:00 pm.
Before then, look out for more information about the first opening, the packs involved and what we will be hoping to find.
Six packs. One weekly goal. Plenty of opportunities to discover something special.
Pack Rip Wednesdays are almost here!
