Each booster pack contains 12 cards, each booster box contains 24 packs, and the set contains 108 card types across Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Ultimate Rare, Secret Rare and Special Card rarities.

What Is Digimon Card Game BT-26: Timeless Bonds?
BT-26: Timeless Bonds is the twenty-sixth numbered booster expansion for the Digimon Card Game. The set puts Digimon Story Time Stranger at the centre of its lineup while also adding cards connected to DIGIMON BEATBREAK, Digimon Data Squad and Appmon.
Bandai specifically highlights more characters from Digimon Story Time Stranger, new Olympos XII cards, the game's climactic final battle, additional BEATBREAK and DATA SQUAD support, and multiple decks that can be built or upgraded using BT-26 cards.
Timeless Bonds follows the earlier Time Stranger and related Digimon Card Game releases by expanding several established strategies instead of functioning as a completely isolated set. That makes BT-26 relevant both to collectors opening for premium cards and to players upgrading existing archetypes.

A sealed Timeless Bonds booster box contains 24 randomized booster packs.
One BT-26 booster pack
Each booster pack contains 12 randomized Digimon Card Game cards from the BT-26 product.
Box purchase bonus
Bandai advertises a special Box Purchase Bonus Pack with Timeless Bonds booster boxes, with one of six card types represented in the promotion.
Randomized collation
A sealed box does not guarantee a complete BT-26 set or a specific Secret Rare, Ultimate Rare, alternate art or Special Card.
A booster box is for opening, not completing the entire set
Timeless Bonds contains base cards, premium rarities and alternate-art treatments. If you are chasing one exact card, buying the single is usually more efficient than continuing to open randomized boxes.
BT-26 Card List and Rarity Breakdown
Bandai lists 108 card types for Timeless Bonds. Alternate artwork and alternate designs create additional collectible versions beyond the base checklist.
| Rarity | Card types | Collector notes |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 40 | Core set-building cards and archetype pieces. |
| Uncommon | 26 | Support cards across Timeless Bonds strategies. |
| Rare | 21 | Higher-rarity Digimon, Tamers and Options. |
| Super Rare | 12 | Major Digimon and important deck centrepieces. |
| Ultimate Rare | 3 | Premium high-rarity cards including major Time Stranger characters. |
| Secret Rare | 2 | The highest regular rarity tier in the main BT-26 card pool. |
| Special Card | 4 | Special premium cards included within the advertised 108 card types. |
These counts describe how many different card types exist at each rarity. They are not guaranteed pull rates per booster box.
What Is Timeless Bonds About?
BT-26 connects several major Digimon properties and archetypes in one booster. The biggest theme is Digimon Story Time Stranger, but the expansion also reaches into Olympos XII, Titans, DATA SQUAD, BEATBREAK and Appmon strategies.
Digimon Story Time Stranger
Jupitermon, Chronomon, Plutomon and other characters from the game receive major new cards and premium treatments.
TSOlympos XIITitansOlympos XII DUAL cards
Timeless Bonds adds Olympos XII characters in DUAL form, combining Digimon and Option functionality in a single card design.
DUALIliadDIGIMON BEATBREAK
BT-26 adds more support for BEATBREAK characters and traits, giving existing decks additional evolution lines and alternate-art collectibles.
BEATBREAKGlowing DawnDigimon Data Squad
DATA SQUAD cards return with new Digimon and Tamers, expanding decks built around cards such as Rosemon and familiar Data Squad characters.
DATA SQUADNew BT-26 Mechanics: Succession, Detach and DUAL Cards
Succession
BT-26 introduces Succession on cards such as Jupitermon: Wrath Mode. Succession lets a Digimon make use of effects tied to cards in its digivolution stack, creating new sequencing and deck-building possibilities around key evolution lines.
Detach
The Seven Code Appmon package introduces Detach, an effect that can allow an Appmon to remain in the battle area by trashing an appropriate linked card when it would otherwise leave because of an effect.
DUAL cards
Timeless Bonds continues the Digimon Card Game's hybrid card-design space with DUAL cards that can function across Digimon and Option roles. Several Olympos XII cards use this structure, giving decks more flexibility when choosing how to deploy them.
Best Decks and Archetypes Supported by Timeless Bonds
Bandai's official BT-26 product showcase highlights multiple strategies built around the new set. These are not guaranteed tournament tier rankings, but they show the primary archetypes Timeless Bonds was designed to support.
Jupitermon
Jupitermon decks gain new Olympos XII and TS tools, including Jupitermon // Wide Plasment, Aegiochusmon: Holy and the Secret Rare Jupitermon: Wrath Mode.
Chronomon
Chronomon: Holy Mode and Chronomon: Destroy Mode form the centre of a technical strategy built around returning cards to decks, disrupting digivolution stacks and using Succession.
Plutomon / Titans
Plutomon gives Titan decks a new high-rarity centrepiece, while ZombiePlutomon, Dark Field and other Titan support help pressure the opponent's board and hand.
Seven Code Appmon
Dantemon and Seven Code PAD support a Link-heavy Appmon strategy using Seven Code cards, Detach and Assembly-style payoffs.

Game 3's BT-26 collection includes individual listings across commons, uncommons, rares, foil cards, Super Rares, Ultimate Rares, Secret Rares and alternate arts.
You can browse the full BT-26 Timeless Bonds product collection or see the broader Digimon singles catalog.
Shop Timeless Bonds Singles in Canada

Should You Buy a Timeless Bonds Booster Box or Singles?
Buy a booster box if:
- You want the full BT-26 opening experience.
- You want cards across several Timeless Bonds archetypes.
- You enjoy chasing alternate arts and high-rarity pulls.
- You want the box purchase bonus promotion.
Buy singles if:
- You need exact cards for Jupitermon, Chronomon, Plutomon, Seven Code or another specific deck.
- You collect one Digimon, Tamer or alternate-art treatment.
- You want to choose the exact printing and condition.
- You would rather avoid duplicate commons and uncommons.
A practical approach is often one box plus singles
Opening one booster box gives you the release experience and a broad pool of cards. After that, buying the exact singles you are missing is usually more efficient than opening additional boxes hoping for one specific card.
