Pokemon World Championship heading to Singapore in August 2027
The tournament is set to take place from Aug 13 to 15 at the Singapore Expo.
In a groundbreaking announcement, The Pokemon Company has revealed that the prestigious Pokemon World Championship will be held in Singapore from August 13 to 15, 2027. The three-day event, set to be a sold-out affair, will take place at the Singapore Expo, marking a significant milestone as it returns to Asia for the first time since 2023 in Yokohama, Japan. This will also be only the fourth time the championship has been hosted outside of the United States.
Tsunekazu Ishihara, the president and CEO of The Pokemon Company, revealed the new venue during the closing ceremony of the 2026 championship in San Francisco on August 30. The World Championship is the grand finale and biggest event of the Pokemon competitive season, where elite trainers from around the globe gather to celebrate the franchise and compete in various games to claim the title of World Champion.
While the ticketing details for the Singapore event remain undisclosed, fans are advised to stay vigilant as securing a spot at these highly anticipated championships has traditionally involved a lottery system.
