The 2027 Championship Series currently includes 5 Regional-level events in North America, 9 Regional-level events in Europe, 9 Regional-level events in Latin America, and 4 Regional-level events in Oceania. Further events are likely to be announced in the future.Additionally, beginning with the 2027 Championship Series, competitors under the age of 12 will not be able to compete at events held in Germany, and competitors under the age of 14 will not be able to compete at events held in Brazil, due to Pokémon Champions receiving higher age classifications in these countries. Play! Pokémon have announced that they are "actively exploring potential solutions to support younger competitors in these regions."
