Pokémon Regional Championships Las Vegas brings competitive Pokémon play to the Las Vegas Convention Center from December 4th through December 6th, 2026. Part of the 2027 Pokémon Championship Series season, the three-day event brings together players competing in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon video games, and Pokémon GO.
The competition takes place inside North Hall N3 and N4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Players compete for Championship Points and prizes while working toward qualification opportunities within the larger Play! Pokémon Championship Series.
Three Major Pokémon Competitions
The Las Vegas Regional includes competition in Pokémon TCG, Pokémon Video Game Championships and Pokémon GO. Each game follows its own tournament structure and current Championship Series rules.
Regional Championships are a major level of organized Play! Pokémon competition, drawing experienced players along with competitors working their way through the Championship Series. Players are divided into eligible age divisions where applicable.
Compete for Championship Points
Regional Championships award Championship Points based on tournament performance. These points contribute toward a player’s standing during the competitive season and can play a role in qualifying for higher-level Pokémon Championship Series events.
Prizing varies by competition and placement. Players planning to compete should review the official tournament information for their game before registering, including current rules, deck or team requirements and equipment they need to bring.
Pokémon TCG, Video Games and Pokémon GO
Pokémon Trading Card Game competitors must arrive with a tournament-legal deck that meets the current format and deck-list requirements. Video Game Championship players compete using the current approved Pokémon video game ruleset, while Pokémon GO players compete using eligible teams from their Pokémon GO accounts.
The event can also include additional side tournaments and casual play opportunities beyond the main Regional Championships. The complete side-event schedule is typically released separately as the weekend approaches.
