Pokémon Europe International Championships 2026 - London

Overview:

The Pokémon Europe International Championships 2026 took place at ExCeL London on February 13-15, 2026, bringing together players and fans across the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE. ARAM delivered the technical production for an event where live gameplay, broadcast requirements, and the audience experience had to work as one precisely synchronized environment.

Scope of delivery:

• stage design and build for multiple parallel competition arenas,
• LED systems, multimedia, and signal workflow for PGM screens and scenic elements,
• lighting design, audio, and special effects delivery,
• technical production coordination and on-site show support.

Technology and scale:

The main 62-metre-wide and 10-metre-deep stage environment was divided into four independent play zones. The setup included 1,308 M3 Magic LED modules as a scenic background, Unilumin Upad III P2.6 LED in desks and PGM screens, approximately 340 m² of YesTech M3 Magic 3.9 mm LED, and an additional 104 m² of Unilumin Upad III 2.6 mm screens. Nearly 400 lighting fixtures and 20 cold-spark effects supported the key show moments.

The production combined the pace of esports with a large-scale live-event visual language, creating a coherent environment for players, the venue audience, and online viewers.
