Play! Pokémon 2026 Los Angeles Regionals

The 2026 Pokémon Los Angeles Regional Championships are coming to Los Angeles the weekend of May 8. Players from across the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), and Pokémon GO will compete at the Los Angeles Convention Center for scholarships and cash prizes, including the coveted title of Pokémon Regional Champion and valuable Championship Points that count toward a potential invite to the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco. The family-friendly competition will provide great visuals of the packed convention hall, highlighted by intense head-to-head battles and an energetic crowd of family, fans, and supporters cheering competitors on.

All attendees who have an official event badge, regardless of whether the attendee is competing in the Regional Championships or are a spectator of the event, can battle for a variety of awesome prizes in smaller competitions throughout the weekend—it’s a great opportunity to compete against players from around the world!

Fans who aren’t able to attend in person can catch all the action online on Twitch and YouTube to make sure they don’t miss a second of the competition from the comfort of their own homes.
