This weekend, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Trainers will be arriving from all around the world to take part in Pokémon battles, aiming to become the next North America International Champions!
Trainers will be competing not just in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), but also in the Pokémon Video Game Championships (VGC), Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE; successful Trainers will qualify for the 2025 Pokémon World Championships, due to take place in Anaheim, California, in August 2025.
Of course, not all fans will be able to attend the New Orleans North America International Championships in person, so instead, they can tune in to the livestream of the competition on Twitch or YouTube.
Excitingly, fans attending digitally in this way, either via the official broadcast on Twitch or on the channels of featured co-streamers, can celebrate from home with digital giveaways in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, Pokémon Trading Card Game Live, Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE. Complete details and information on how to redeem these digital giveaways can be found here.
All the action kicks off at 2 p.m. British Summer Time on Twitch and YouTube, while a full overview can be found here, and a complete schedule is below:
