What Time Does Pokémon Champions Season 2 Start?
Pokémon Champions’ inaugural ranked season concludes on May 13, 2026, at 01:59 UTC (May 12, 21:59 EDT / 19:00 PDT), leaving competitive players approximately one day to climb the ranked ladder and secure final seasonal rewards in both Singles and Doubles formats.
Following Season M-1’s conclusion, Pokémon Champions will undergo a three-hour maintenance window before Season M-2 launches. The new season features a complete reset of the ranked ladder paired with a brand new battle pass, allowing all players to begin from equal competitive standing. Season M-2 is scheduled to run until June 17, 2026, lasting just over one month.
This seasonal structure reflects the game’s live-service model, with regular competitive cycles designed to maintain engagement and refresh the competitive meta. The battle pass update provides new cosmetic and gameplay rewards alongside the ladder reset. Players with limited time in Season M-1 are encouraged to optimize their rankings to unlock better final seasonal rewards before the competitive reset.
