Event Details

Before Pokémon Go, there was just Pokémon. Players from more than 35 countries will converge in San Francisco for the 2016 Pokémon World Championships from August 19–21.

The Pokémon World Championships will feature players who qualified throughout the 2016 Championship Series season, all competing to be crowned the next Pokémon TCG, Video Game, or Pokkén Tournament World Champion…and for a piece of the combined prize pool of more than $500,000.

While this tournament isn’t open to the general public, you can watch it all live on Pokemon.com/Live with four streaming channels going, so you can catch as much of your favorite events as you’d like.

Remember that on Sunday, all Pokémon TCG and video game matches will be shown on the general streaming channel.
