The Uma Musume: Pretty Derby franchise is in the midst of its first international world tour, which opened in Tokyo in June 2026, and is expanding its collectible card lineup with the 2026 Twin Wafer Special R edition releasing August 24, 2026.
The Uma Musume: Pretty Derby franchise is advancing on two fronts: a new collectible card wave and its first international live tour. Bandai's Uma Musume Pretty Derby Twin Wafer Special R 2026 arrives at mass retailers nationwide on August 24, 2026. The set introduces three card types: Dress Costume, Starting Future Costume, and Space Running Girls . The lineup totals 30 types, including the cards Still In Love and Stay Gold. Dress Costume cards may carry foil-stamped reproduced cast signatures. Each pack is priced at 198 yen including tax.
The live side of the franchise moved global in 2026. Cygames held the opening show of the first Umamusume world tour at Ariake Arena on June 20-21. The two-day event featured cast performances, references to real horse racing, and a surprise appearance by the voice actor for the newly announced character Titleholder. The show included songs from recent game scenarios and acknowledged the franchise's growth since its English version launched in 2025.
Together, the stories show a franchise that is both widening its physical merchandise footprint and extending its live events beyond Japan, with the Tokyo dates serving as the launch of the international tour.
