Pokémon Go Fest is returning in 2026 with events in three different cities this summer, followed by a worldwide event later in the year.

Niantic has revealed some initial information about upcoming events, including when and where they’ll be held, so you can begin making travel arrangements.

Here’s the latest information about Pokémon Go Fest 2026, based on the official Pokémon Go website.

Pokémon Go Fest 2026 Dates

Pokémon Go Fest 2026 will be held from May 29th to June 14th, 2026. Throughout the event, it will move between three different cities each week, offering special, ticketed gameplay experiences unique to each location.

This is about the same time the event takes place every year.

Pokémon Go Fest 2026 Cities

Pokémon Go Fest 2026 will take place across three different cities:

  • Tokyo – Bay Area (Friday, May 29 – Monday, June 1, 2026, ticketed citywide gameplay from Monday, May 25, 2026)

In addition to everything else, Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global will be back! More information about all four events will be revealed in March and spring.

Pokémon Go Fest 2026 What To Expect

Pokémon Go Fest 2026 will feature new research quests and special Pokémon appearing in each host city, just like in past events. Plus, Pokémon that are normally found in specific regions will be available worldwide, giving players a better chance to catch rare Pokémon.

So, during the event, they’re adding special raids – not the usual ones! Plus, keep an eye out for shiny Pokémon, because they’ll be showing up more often. I’m definitely going to try and catch ’em all!

Finally, you can expect some new content updates and announcement for the game.

As mentioned, we will know more in 2026 in the Spring and will keep this article updated over time.
