Get ready for the ultimate Pokémon showdown! Registration is officially open for the 2026 Europe International Championships (EUIC), and trust us, you won’t want to miss this. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just any tournament—it’s one of the most anticipated events of the 2026 Championship Series season, and the first wave of registration is live right now. Whether you’re a spectator or a competitor, this is your chance to be part of three days packed with thrilling battles, exclusive activities, and unforgettable moments. But here’s where it gets controversial: with limited spots available, will you secure your place in time, or risk missing out on the action?**
Spectators can sign up through the official 2026 EUIC event portal (https://registration.pokemon.com/flow/pokemon/2026euic/landing), while competitors need to head over to the dedicated competitor registration portal (https://rk9.gg/event/pokemon-euic-2026). Don’t wait—the second wave of registration opens on December 17, 2025, at 1:00 a.m. PST, but why risk it when you can lock in your spot today?
From February 13–15, 2026, Excel London will transform into a battleground for the world’s best Trainers. Spectators will witness intense competitions across Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE. And this is the part most people miss: the stakes are higher than ever. Competitors will battle for a treasure trove of prizes, including Championship Points that could earn them an invitation to the 2026 Pokémon World Championships. Finish high enough at EUIC, and you might even secure a direct ticket to Worlds. Talk about pressure!
But here’s the kicker: registered competitors will receive an exclusive welcome kit stuffed with event-only Pokémon goodies, like a cap, playmat, card sleeves, deck box, pin, and a promo card stamped with the International Championships logo. These kits are available while supplies last, so procrastination could cost you more than just a spot in the tournament.
As the competitive season heats up, all eyes are on Europe, where Mega Charizard X is set to lead the charge. Will this be the year a new champion rises? Or will seasoned veterans dominate the stage? One thing’s for sure: the hype is real, and the battles will be legendary.
