Pokémon fans will have a reason to head to Singapore next summer, with the Pokémon World Championships set to take place in the city from 13 to 15 August 2027.
The tournament will be held at Singapore EXPO, while the final day of competition will move to the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The announcement was made at the closing ceremony of the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco on 30 August.
The annual event brings together players competing in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon video games and Pokémon GO.
Singapore will be the first Southeast Asian host of the World Championships. The tournament has previously been held in Japan, the UK, Canada and the US.
The 2027 edition will also mark the event’s return to Asia after Yokohama hosted the championships in 2023.
More details on tickets and the event schedule are expected to be released closer to the tournament.
