2026 Worlds costumed Pikachu Twitch Badge

2026 Worlds costumed Pikachu is a free global Twitch badge for the 2026 Pokémon World Championships. How do you get it? With watch time alone: 60 minutes on one of the official Pokémon channels does it, among them twitch.tv/pokemon, twitch.tv/pokemonxp and twitch.tv/pokemongo. No subscription, no form, no purchase.

Only two days on the clock. The badge is available strictly from August 29 to August 31, 2026, a very tight window of about 48 hours. After that it is gone, with no encore. Worlds is the biggest Pokémon tournament of the year, with competition across the Trading Card Game, the video game, Pokémon GO and more. Background and schedules live on worlds.pokemon.com, and the companion Twitch program runs on pokemonxp.com.

There is a second, more exclusive piece next to it: the PokémonXP costumed Pikachu, available only through twitch.tv/pokemonxp. Both windows run at once and both are short, so staying tuned across the same two days walks you away with two costumed Pikachus.

What's Coming Next: Twitch is running two exclusive World Championships chat badges. Earn the 2026 Worlds costumed Pikachu by watching 60 minutes on one of the official channels such as twitch.tv/pokemon, twitch.tv/pokemonTCG, twitch.tv/pokemonGO or twitch.tv/pokemonUNITE, and the PokémonXP costumed Pikachu by watching 60 minutes on /PokémonXP. Both are only available during the broadcasts. The full rundown is in the official Twitch blog.

Two days pass quickly, so plan your 60 minutes sooner rather than later. The games tag holds plenty more free badges, and the free archive collects every badge that never cost a thing. To stop missing tight windows, subscribe to Badge Alert.
