As 2025 Pokemon worlds comes to an end, the closing ceremony has shared news about 2026 Pokemon worlds San Francisco. It appears TPCi is adding a new, separate events called Pokemon XP that is more focused on the fan experience. This is set to take place in the heart of San Francisco in 2026 and could be exciting.

It appears passes will go on sale on Sept. 17 next month. It’s hard to guess what activities they will add but I do agree that worlds is currently a bit lacking as a spectator and non-competitor. Some extra participation events would enhance the experience quite a bit. What are your thoughts on this? I’m personally excited, cautiously optimistic, and curious at the same time.

Also related are the other announcements during the closing ceremony:

I was just taking a look at this. So if we pay for this XP weekend pass with the arena thing, is that the same as having a weekend spectator pass for previous Worlds?

Also if we miss out on buying on in September, do you think we will still be able to get a weekend spectator pass from a player come closer to Worlds?

Can you share the link to signup? We are actually in the process of moving back to the Bay Area and I want to at least try to go! I know it will be a challenge to get tickets though
