Get a First Look at Plans for the 2023 Pokémon Championship Series

The 2023 Play! Pokémon season features the return of Pokémon TCG, Pokémon GO, VGC, Pokémon UNITE, and much more!

After an invigorating return to competitive Pokémon during the 2022 Pokémon Championship Series, we have more details regarding the future of the series. The 2023 Pokémon Championship Series, leading to the 2023 Pokémon World Championships, will include four different Pokémon games: the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon video games, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE. Regional Championships and International Championships will continue to be hosted across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, and Travel Awards will be available for these events.

The age divisions for players in the 2023 season will increase by one year from the 2022 season:

  • Junior Division: Born in 2011 or later
  • Senior Division: Born in 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010
  • Masters Division: Born in 2006 or earlier

2023 Pokémon TCG Championship Series

The Pokémon TCG Championship Series largely remains unchanged going into the 2023 season and will continue to suspend all local Championship Point (CP) tournaments (e.g., League Challenges and League Cups) until further notice.

2023 Pokémon Video Game Championship (VGC) Series

With Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet releasing later this year, we will reevaluate the structure of the 2023 VGC circuit. After the 2022 World Championships, there will be no Video Game Championship Series events until January 2023, when all competitive events will be played in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. More information will be released later in 2022.

2023 Pokémon GO Championship Series

Following the success of the inaugural 2022 season, Pokémon GO will return to the 2023 Pokémon Championship Series. Pokémon GO will feature at many more events alongside both the Pokémon TCG and VGC events. All players will compete in a single age division in the 2023 Pokémon GO Championship Series.

2023 Pokémon UNITE Championship Series

Pokémon UNITE will return to the Pokémon Championship Series in 2023. Stay tuned for more details.

Event Schedule and Travel Awards

Regional Championships will continue to take place in the 2023 season, with numerous events making their way to North America, Europe, and Latin America. Special Events will also return to Europe for the 2023 season. There are currently no announced Regional Championships for Oceania; however, details of those events will be announced at a later date. Most Regionals will feature both Pokémon TCG and Pokémon GO during this season’s Championship Series, and Regionals taking place after January 2023 will also feature VGC events using Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. The main competitions for Regional Championships in North America will take place on Saturdays and Sundays, but competitors are encouraged to show up early to check in and compete in side events on Fridays. More Regionals will be announced at a later date. Dates, locations, and formats are subject to change.

International Championships will also return for the 2023 Pokémon Championship Series, with events in Latin America, Oceania, Europe, and North America. Pokémon TCG Travel Awards will function the same for this event as they did previously—CP earned from the day after the Europe International Championships through and including the North America International Championships will determine Travel Awards for the Latin America International Championships. Because VGC events do not resume until January, VGC Championship Points earned during this period will determine Travel Awards for the Oceania International Championships.
