Date, Start Time, & Where To Watch

A new Pokémon Presents is happening this month, and it’s expected to be a big one. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, and it’s been strongly suggested we’ll see reveals for the upcoming Gen 10 games as well. That’s not even mentioning collabs, TCG reveals, and updates to various current games.

It might just be the biggest broadcast to date, so fans are hyped to see what all will be announced. Whether you’re looking for the presentations’ start time or just interested in what to expect, we’ve got you covered here.

Pokémon Presents February 2026 Date & Start Time

This year’s Pokémon Presents will take place on Friday, February 27, 2026. This is the actual anniversary date of the franchise, so it’s typically when the yearly presentation airs anyway. As in previous years, the Pokémon Presents will begin at 6:00 am PT/ 9 am ET. If you’re in a different time zone, we’ve got some of those covered here:

6:00 am PT
8:00 am CT
9:00 am ET
2:00 pm GMT
3:00 pm CET
11:00 pm JST

This year’s broadcast should run for around 25 minutes, which is longer than many of the streams in the past, but not overly so. For reference, the Pokémon Presents that revealed the Gen 9 starters and games lasted around the same amount of time.

Where To Watch This Year’s Pokémon Presents Stream

In addition to the various channels and fans who will be streaming the Pokémon Presents themselves this year, you can also watch through the official channels. You can find those links here:

In our experience, Twitch is usually a bit ahead of YouTube, generally by about 15–30 seconds. If you’re unable to watch the broadcast live, we’ll be updating with reveals here at ScreenRant.

What To Expect At Pokémon Presents February 2026

Considering it’s the 30th Anniversary of the franchise, this year’s Pokémon Presents will likely lean into that quite a bit. A special Pokémon TCG collection leaked months ago and should be officially shown off, and the long-rumored FireRed and LeafGreen re-releases have already launched on the eShop.

Collabs with McDonald’s and Stern have been announced previously, and one for Adidas leaked late last year. All of these could be shown off during the Pokémon Presents in some way. Additionally, updates on various mobile titles like Pokémon GO, Pokémon Unite, and more should all be a part of this year’s broadcast.

Although not officially confirmed, reveals for the Gen 10 games will most assuredly happen. It’s right around the normal time that Pokémon will reveal its new mainline entries, and because it’s the 30th Anniversary, the company will want to show off something big. Beyond that, rumors of new remakes, Legends spin-offs, and more have been circulating online for quite some time.

A lot of what to expect at this year’s Pokémon Presents comes down to educated guesswork and alleged leaks. However, given the runtime of the broadcast, and that the franchise is celebrating turning 30, we expect to see some really exciting reveals at this year’s stream on Friday.
