Over the course of 2026, hundreds of playmats have hit retail. Playmats, alongside sleeves and card boxes, are some of the bestselling TCG accessories. ICv2, being the top games trade website, has received dozens of images of new playmats throughout the year. This year, ICv2 has created a Playmat Pick Hits list, featuring some of the best playmats available.
What makes a great playmat generally comes down to aesthetics these days. Gamegenic, heo Group, Ultra PRO, and other playmat makers have churning out well-made playmats down to a science at this point, so quality of the mats, across the board, are generally universally good. It is the concept and design that truly makes a playmat worth buying in 2026. Here are ICv2’s Playmat Pick Hits (see gallery below).
