Pokémon Regional Championships Stuttgart 2026 (2027 Series)
Play! Pokémon Regional Championships at Messe Stuttgart on 28-29 November 2026: TCG, VGC and Pokémon GO, Championship Points for the 2027 Worlds. Registration opens soon.
The last European stop of 2026 in the Play! Pokémon 2027 Championship Series is Stuttgart: the Regional Championships take place on 28 and 29 November 2026 in Hall 1 of Messe Stuttgart, next to Stuttgart Airport. The event is run by twentytwentytwo, the official tournament organiser for Europe.
As at every Regional, three competitions run side by side: the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Video Game Championships (VGC, double battles played in Pokémon Champions - players under 12 use the Junior version on Nintendo Switch) and Pokémon GO. Each has Junior/Senior and Masters divisions, and results count as Championship Points towards qualification for the 2027 World Championships.
Registration had not yet opened at the time of listing - the organiser says sign-ups go live "soon" via RK9 Labs and that capacity is limited, with sell-outs expected within the first couple of hours. Entry fees and the price of the spectator pass have not been published yet; create your Pokémon Player ID and RK9 profile in advance if you plan to compete.
For players from Croatia, Slovenia and Austria, Stuttgart is the most accessible Regional of the autumn - roughly a six-hour drive from Zagreb or Ljubljana, and the fairground has its own S-Bahn and motorway connections. It is also the follow-up to the Gdańsk Regional at the start of November.
