The Pokemon World Championships is heading to Singapore. The 2027 edition will run from August 13 to 15 at Singapore Expo, with Championship Sunday taking place at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Indoor_Stadium">Singapore Indoor Stadium</a>. The announcement came at <a href="https://www.pokemon.com/uk/news/pokemonxp-and-the-2026-pokemon-world-championships-closing-ceremonies-recap">the closing ceremony of this year's championships</a> in San Francisco on August 30. Tsunekazu Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokemon Company, made the reveal in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 50,000 fans. For Singapore, this is a first. It is also only the fourth time in the event's history that the championships have been held outside the United States, and the first return to Asia since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Pok%C3%A9mon_World_Championships">Yokohama hosted in 2023</a>. In the 2027 event, Competitors will battle across three formats: &nbsp;<ul><li>The Pokemon Video Game Championships</li><li>The Pokemon Trading Card Game</li><li>Pokemon GO</li></ul><a href="https://unite.pokemon.com/en-us/">Pokemon Unite</a>, which appeared in the 2026 lineup, has been moved out as its own standalone event going forward.&nbsp; &nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:86.33%;"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/pokemon_world_champ_singapore_2bd72bf7fa.jpg" alt="pokemon world champ singapore.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_pokemon_world_champ_singapore_2bd72bf7fa.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_pokemon_world_champ_singapore_2bd72bf7fa.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw"></figure> The next mainline Pokemon games, <a href="https://windswaves.pokemon.com/en-us/">Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves</a>, are also due in 2027. Early trailers show a tropical, multi-island setting with clear Southeast Asian influences. Bringing the World Championships to Singapore feels like a deliberate piece of that wider rollout. Community reaction has been enthusiastic, if a little anxious about the practicalities. Local players noted that Singapore's competitive Pokemon scene has been relatively quiet for years, making this feel like a surprise decision. The bigger question for fans right now is tickets. No details have been announced yet, but the 2023 Yokohama championships used a lottery system. Some Singapore-based fans are cautiously optimistic, pointing to the Pokemon Center Singapore already running lotteries during peak periods. Others are more skeptical, with concerns that major event tickets in Singapore tend to find their way onto resale platforms fast. Ticketing details and further information are expected to be announced closer to August 2027. &nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/63XspNCZtcg?si=cJK1XYVi8wOdgTDu" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
