Pokémon Championship Series 2023 gets locations, dates, and more

Pokémon Championship Series 2022 is soon drawing to a close and The Pokémon Company has given fans details on what they can look forward to for next year’s events.

There is a lot of the same information for next year as there was for this year, but fans now know the locations of many of the tournaments that will be held for the various games. No details have been revealed yet about where the World Championships will be held, but the smaller regional events have some dates and locations to look forward to for next year.

For 2023, the competitive Trading Card Game landscape for the year remains relatively the same as 2022. All local Championship Point tournaments are still suspended until further notice, but there are some new things coming to keep players who love to compete entertained through 2023.

The Video Game Championship will continue in January next year after players have had some time to play through the new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which release in November. More information about VGC will be released later in 2022. Pokémon Go and Pokémon UNITE Championship Series are both returning in 2023.

Regional Championships schedule

Players will continue to compete in regional events throughout North America, Latin America, and Europe. Regional Championships for Oceania will be revealed at a later date.

There will be no VGC tournaments after World Championships 2022 due to the release of Pokémon SV, but events prior to January 2023 will still have TCG and Pokémon Go tournaments. After January, VGC events will return for those regional events.
