Summary
Blizzard announcement: Early Name Reservation runs October 27 to November 3, 2026. Start times: North America Oct 27 1:00 p.m. PDT, Europe Oct 27 18:00 CET, Korea and Taiwan Oct 28 07:00 local. Players can reserve names for up to three characters in total across all rulesets, first-come first-served, names not guaranteed. Eligibility comes from a pre-purchase (the body lists the Skyborne Heroic Pack, Skyborne Epic Pack or Warcraft Forever Collection; a footnote says a Digital Upgrade or Collector's Edition is required, and the page does not reconcile the two). Date estimated from related coverage; the page shows no date.
