Games such as Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon Go, Pokémon UNITE, Pokénn Tournament DX, and the Pokémon TCG will see competitors fight for the title of world championship during the event. The event will be held at ExCeL London, and everyone in attendance will need to make sure they purchase or receive a badge to gain admittance.

Pokémon Go has no official timing on its schedule, and players looking to compete should keep up to date with the competition’s page. The competition will take place on Aug. 19 and the grand final match will take place the next day. The same is true for Pokémon UNITE, which begins on Aug. 19 and concludes the following day.

Here is the official Pokémon Worlds schedule, including side events.
