Singapore's Pokemon TCG tradeshow scene has grown significantly — in 2026 there are over 20 major events across 8 months, run by a handful of distinct organisers. Knowing who runs what helps you decide which shows are worth your time and money as a vendor or collector.
Organiser Overview
Singapore Card Show
Next up: June 27–28, 2026 @ Singapore Expo Hall 5B
Consistently well-regarded. Community repeatedly calls it one of the best-organised large shows — good vendor density, approachable pricing, and solid marketing.
Hobbycon Asia
Next up: March 7–8, 2026 @ Suntec City Convention Hall 405
Covers TCG alongside board games and other hobbies. Solid for collectors who want a broader hobby experience. Suntec location is very accessible.
KYO Cards
Next up: KYO Cards Con — February 28 – March 1, 2026 @ Singapore Expo Hall 6B
Community frequently recommends KYO Cards alongside Singapore Card Show as the two shows worth attending. Debut KYO Cards Con (Feb–Mar 2026) at Singapore Expo was well-received.
The Trade Ting
Next up: 9–10 May · 6–7 June · 11–12 July 2026 @ Kallang Leisure Park
Community-run fair powered by @mysterytcg8 and @binderbandits. Known for being beginner-friendly, good marketing, and a welcoming atmosphere. Not back-to-back weekends — respects vendor and buyer bandwidth.
CAPS Show
Next up: May 1–3, 2026 @ Kallang Leisure Park
Runs multi-day formats (3 days) giving vendors and buyers more time. Community feedback is positive — affordable booth rates and well-organised for its size.
The Singapore TCG Tradefair
Next up: Tradefair 5 — April 4–5, 2026 @ Kallang Leisure Park
Grassroots community fair run via Telegram group. Free entry, peer-to-peer pricing — great for collectors hunting below-market deals. 2,800+ followers on Instagram.
SCCS
Next up: Multiple dates April–May 2026 across Singapore Expo, Kallang, and Suntec
Hosts the most events of any organiser in Singapore. Community criticism centres on back-to-back scheduling, booth prices described as high relative to venue quality, and last-minute organisation. Vendor ROI is reportedly lower here than at SGCardShow or KYO Cards shows.
Cardex
Community feedback is mixed-to-negative: back-to-back scheduling, overpriced booths, and underwhelming foot traffic at many venues. Some regular attendees advise newcomers to skip in favour of larger quarterly shows.
