The Pokémon TCG community is gearing up for an electrifying showdown as the Pokémon World Championships 2026 heads to London, UK, from August 14-16, 2026! This global event will spotlight the Mega Evolution Series, with players battling it out using the high-octane Mega Pokémon ex from sets like Mega Evolution Base, Phantasmal Flames, and the upcoming Mega Dream ex. Expect decks built around powerhouses like Mega Gardevoir ex, Mega Charizard X ex, and Mega Dragonite ex to dominate the meta, as the 3-Prize mechanic reshapes competitive strategies.
The Championships will feature Standard and Expanded formats, with the Mega Evolution Series introducing new deck-building dynamics thanks to ultra-rare full-art Trainers and Special Energies. Top players are already testing builds with Mega Dream ex’s Mega Rayquaza ex, whose Tempest Wing attack is tipped to counter stall decks. Side events will include prerelease tournaments for the yet-to-be-revealed Mega Legacy set, hinting at Mega Mewtwo ex, and exclusive promos like a holo Pikachu with a Worlds 2026 stamp are sure to be collector gold.
London’s ExCeL Centre will host thousands of trainers, with livestreamed matches showcasing the best decks and strategies. Spectators can join workshops, trade rare cards, and grab limited-edition merch, while Pokémon TCG Live will run parallel online events with bonus rewards. Qualifiers are ongoing worldwide, with Regionals in spring 2026 offering Championship Points to secure a Worlds invite.
