Entire Pokemon World Championships 2024 Schedule

The 2024 Pokemon World Championships takes place over the course of three days in Honolulu, Hawai’i. The featured games are Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Pokemon VGC), Pokemon GO, Pokemon UNITE, and the Pokemon TCG. The following tables go over each day’s schedule, with the Twitch.tv locations for each competition’s stream, and different North American time zones.

Friday, August 16

The following table lists the first day of competition for the four Pokemon games featured at the 2024 World Championships. Because the competition takes place in Hawai’i, many of the streams will start late into the day and continue into the early morning of the next day.

Pokemon World Championships 2024 Day 2 Schedule

Sunday, August 18

Sunday includes the grand finales for Pokemon GO, the TCG, and VGC. They will occur one after the other on the main Pokemon Twitch channel in that order. The start and end times may not be entirely accurate, as games may run long, and extra time may be needed to prepare between games. If there’s a certain competition you want to catch, keep an eye on the main streaming channel during the listed time frames, as it is much more likely to run late than to finish early.

Pokemon World Championships 2024 Day 3 Schedule

The closing ceremony will take place after the Pokemon VGC finals. During the closing ceremony, there are likely to be announcements about any number of Pokemon properties, including the TCG and video games. If the competition runs long, you can boot up your own copy of Scarlet or Violet to take on some celebratory Gimmighoul raids while you wait for the closing ceremony and any news it may bring.
