2023 Season Roadmap | Pokémon UNITE Championship Series

The 2023 Pokémon UNITE Championship series is underway, and there’s a lot of competition up ahead, culminating in the Pokémon UNITE World Championships in Yokohama, Japan!

Over the next several months, teams can compete in events to earn Championship Points and rise to the top of their region’s leaderboard, with top-earning teams at the end of the year qualifying for the World Championships. The stakes will be raised at the Aeos Cup and Regional Championships, with cash prizing and increased Championship Points on the line. Plus, teams in the Regional Finals have the chance to qualify directly to the World Championships!

Check out the 2023 season’s roadmap, so you can follow along or compete for yourself from start to finish!

2023 POKÉMON UNITE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Pokémon UNITE players around the world can compete to earn an invitation to the 2023 World Championships in Yokohama, Japan!

The Pokémon UNITE Championship Series features qualifying events every month beginning in February in each Regional Zone and will include over $1,000,000 USD in prizes, including $500,000 at the World Championships.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPETITION FORMAT

Players will form teams and compete 5-on-5 using Pokémon UNITE’s custom tournament lobby. Open qualifying events will be held each month with no entry cost from February through June. Additionally, some invite-only events will run both online and in person. Players will be able to participate using the Nintendo Switch, iOS, or Android version of Pokémon UNITE.

QUALIFYING FOR THE 2023 POKÉMON UNITE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Pokémon UNITE events will be open only to players over 16 years of age (players from some regions/countries must be 18).

There are two ways to qualify for the World Championships:

1. The teams with the most CP within their Regional Zone at the end of the qualification season will earn an invite to Worlds.

2. Additionally, the team that wins the Regional Finals in each region will earn an invite to Worlds.

A series of qualifying tournaments in each Regional Zone will be held each month, and players will earn Championship Points (CP) based on their team’s finishing place in that month’s tournament. CP will be retained by individual players to allow for team changes as the season progresses. The teams with the most CP at the end of the season will qualify for the Pokémon World Championships.

Each month’s tournament will feature an Open Qualifier round, such as the February Cup, in which teams will compete in a double-elimination format. The Top 8 teams will advance to the Monthly Finals event played the week after the Open Qualifier. Monthly Finals will be broadcast in some regions. In March, players will also be able to compete in the Aeos Cup, a special tournament that awards prizes and more CP than the monthly tournaments.

REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

In June, teams can earn a spot in the Regional Championships via the Open Qualifier. The Regional Championships will then determine which teams qualify for the 2023 Pokémon UNITE World Championships via placement and CP. The Regional Championships will begin with a round-robin format with teams split into four groups, then use a double-elimination format in the finals to determine the winner from the top performing teams.

See the full Pokémon UNITE Championship Series rules for the complete Championship Point reward tables.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING TEAMS

Teams (as shown below) will earn an invitation to the 2023 World Championships in Yokohama, Japan. Some teams may be eligible to earn a travel award. See Official Rules for more information. Teams that qualify for the World Championships from the Regional Championships must maintain the same five-player roster as was used to earn their invitation.
