The Pokémon Company has opened pre-registrations for Pokémon Champions, its latest mobile entry in the Pokémon franchise.
The title is currently available to pre-register on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store; however, the app is not yet playable.
Store listings for the game show an estimated release date of June 17, 2026, a detail first widely reported in the fan outlet Serebii.net on June 3, 2026.
Background and platform details
Pokémon Champions joins a portfolio of mobile Pokémon titles released over the last decade, including Pokémon GO (developed by Niantic), Pokémon Masters EX (developed by DeNA), and Pokémon UNITE (developed in partnership with TiMi Studio Group).
Those earlier releases established The Pokémon Company’s ongoing strategy to bring franchise experiences to Android and iOS users.
For Pokémon Champions, the current rollout is focused on mobile storefronts: Google Play for Android devices and the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users.
No Nintendo Switch or other console release has been announced by The Pokémon Company.
