A '''Match''' (マッチ ''Matchi'') is a best-of-three set of [[Duel]]s.

The first Duelist to win two Duels is declared the [[Victory condition|winner]] of the Match. If a Duelist loses two Duels, they are considered to have lost the Match. If both Duelists have one loss in a Match and both receive a simultaneous [[Game Loss]] penalty, the Match is considered a Double Loss.{{fact}}

While they are almost always considered "best-of-three" sets, it is possible to play more than three Duels in a Match, if at least one Duel ends in a [[DRAW]] before the end of the round. For example, if both Duelists have won 1 Duel and the third Duel ends in a Draw, a fourth Duel must be played to determine who gets the second win.

In official tournaments, if Duelists have not completed their Matches when the round time ends, [[End of Match Procedure]] rules are used.

A series of cards, known as [[Match winner]]s, all have an effect that allows a player to win an entire Match instead of just a Duel if they reduce the opponent's [[Life Points]] to 0 with a [[direct attack]] (sometimes with additional conditions). All of them have [[Limitation Text]] stating that they are [[Illegal]] for use in tournaments, except for "[[Victory Dragon]]" (which is [[Forbidden]]).
