Uma Musume Pretty Derby Banners: Upcoming and past
In Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, banners (also known as “scouts”) are how new Trainee characters and Support Cards enter the game. It’s important to track both upcoming and past banners so players can plan when to save or pull. Below is a guide with banner types, schedules, and history.
How Uma Musume banners work
There are two main kinds of banners in the Uma Musume gacha system:
- Character (Trainee) banners
- Support Card banners
They often run in parallel, sometimes overlapping, and each banner includes a “rate-up” featured unit or support. The game uses a pity or exchange‑system in which repeated pulls or banner-specific exchange points help guarantee a featured unit over many pulls.
Because the global release uses an accelerated schedule to catch up to Japan, banners rotate faster or more aggressively. A typical banner period lasts 7 to 14 days depending on the rotation pattern.
Upcoming Banners (Global / English)
Below is a sample table of upcoming or imminent banners (as of mid–2025) based on announcements and schedules. Dates and units may shift depending on the region (global vs JP).
| Banner Period | Banner Type | Featured Unit(s) / Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 2 – July 10, 2025 | Character | Mihono Bourbon | First of July batch in Global. |
| July 10 – July 22, 2025 | Character & Support | Biwa Hayahide (Trainee) / SSR Mejiro Palmer (Support) | New banner combining Trainee + Support release. |
| July 16 – Aug 1, 2025 | Character | Mejiro McQueen (alt) & Tokai Teio (alt) | Alt costumes debut in this cycle. |

| Aug 3 – Aug 13, 2025 | Character & Support | Narita Taishin / SSR Yaeno Muteki | New entries for August. |
You can use official announcements or in‑game banner tabs to verify exact times in your region.
Past / Banner History Highlights
Knowing past banners helps you see patterns (e.g. repeats, reruns, meta shifts). Below are a few notable past banners, especially from 2025, and what was featured:
| Period | Banner Type | Featured / New Units | Highlights |

If you expand your view to previous years (2023, 2024, etc.), you’ll see many reruns and alternate costumes for favorites like Kitasan Black, El Condor Pasa, Mejiro McQueen, and others
Tips for Using Banner Info
- Plan your pulls: Use the upcoming schedule to save your premium currency (Carats) for banners you care about.
- Watch for reruns: Some units rotate back; if you miss one, it might return later.
- Note overlap periods: Sometimes a new banner starts before the previous one fully ends, double‑banner days may appear.
- Update constantly: Because banner dates shift by region and version, always check the in‑game banner tab and official social media to confirm.
