The Pokémon Players Cup has already started Invitational play, but now there is a streaming schedule to match each event that will take place over the next two months.

Despite the events being held now, there is an initial delay on all of the Invitational and Qualifier streams for TCG, VGC, and Pokkén Tournament DX.

The TCG Invitational began on May 30, but the first stream of the event will not be live until June 13 at 1pm CT. From there, each game will have its own set week where the stream will be broadcast over two days for each Invitational, and multiple weeks for the qualifier tournaments in July.

  • Pokkén Tournament Invitational Day 1: June 27 at 1pm CT

  • Pokémon TCG Finals Preshow: Aug. 28 at 1pm CT
  • Pokémon TCG Finals Day 1: Aug. 29 at 1pm CT
  • Pokémon TCG Finals Day 2: Aug. 30 at 1pm CT

Based on this schedule, only some of the events will have a somewhat delayed stream throughout each region, while the finals will be streamed live in August. This also confirms that The Pokémon Company is holding its original August plans and will host the finals for each game over the second half of the month, rather than all at once over one weekend. 

More details about the actual broadcasts, including talent, pool schedules, and how the delay will affect the product would be revealed closer to the first stream on June 13.
