A total of 32 teams—comprising 31 regional qualifier winners alongside the Pokémon UNITE World Championships 2026 (WCS2026) champion—will be invited to the Finals, taking place in Tokyo across two days on Saturday, March 20, and Sunday, March 21, 2027.

The winning team of the Finals will be awarded a physical crown, the “Aeos Crown,” symbolizing their status as ultimate champions.
