Season 24 of Pokémon GO (September to December 2026)

Get ready for Season 24 of Pokémon GO! As the current season wraps up, the Pokémon GO community is already looking ahead to the next big chapter. The name of the Season is Twilight Trails. While we await the full details, The Pokémon Company and Scopely Explore have officially dropped the timeline for the upcoming months. Whether you are a hardcore raider or a dedicated collector, Season 24 promises a jam-packed schedule of events.

The Season 24 of Pokémon GO announcement mentions three Community Days plus a handful of supporting events running from mid-September through late November 2026. Here’s everything you need to know.


Make sure to brush up on past seasons by checking out our list of Pokémon GO Seasons – From Then to Now.


The Season 24 of Pokémon GO Community Day Lineup

Community Day remains the centerpiece of each Season, and this next batch keeps the usual once-a-month rhythm:

  • Saturday, September 12, 2026: Community Day Classic
  • Saturday, October 10, 2026: Community Day
  • Saturday, November 21, 2026: Community Day

Notice that September kicks things off with a Community Day Classic rather than a standard Community Day. Classics typically bring back a previously featured Community Day Pokémon (sometimes from years past) rather than debuting a new one, so this is worth watching if you’ve been hoping for a second shot at an older exclusive move. Scopely Explore hasn’t revealed which Pokémon will headline any of the three dates yet, so those details are still to come.


Other Season 24 of Pokémon GO Events

Community Day isn’t the only thing on the calendar. The announcement also teased several other in-game events spaced throughout the Season, giving trainers a steady stream of things to do almost every weekend:

  • Saturday, September 19, 2026: Super Mega Raid Day
  • Saturday, September 26, 2026: Catch Mastery
  • Saturday, October 3, 2026: Max Battle Day
  • Saturday, October 17, 2026: Hatch Day
  • Saturday, October 24, 2026: Max Battle Day
  • Saturday, October 31, 2026: Super Mega Raid Day (fittingly, on Halloween)
  • Saturday, November 28, 2026: Super Mega Raid Day

That’s a packed run of ten total Saturday events across roughly eleven weeks. Raid-focused trainers get three separate Super Mega Raid Days to stock up on Mega Energy and chase down powerful raid bosses, while Max Battle Day makes two appearances for those grinding Gigantamax encounters. Hatch Day and Catch Mastery round things out for players who prefer to focus on eggs and catch-based challenges rather than battling.

Please note that these are not the only events during Season 24 of Pokémon GO. The monthly calendar will be available listing all the monthly-themed events during the Season.


What these Mean for Your Planning

A few takeaways stand out from this schedule:

Almost every Saturday is spoken for. From September 12 through November 28, there’s barely a weekend without some kind of official event. If you’re the type who likes to batch your Pokémon GO sessions around specific days, you’ll want to block out most Saturdays during Season 24 of Pokémon GO.

The September Community Day Classic is the first big question mark. Classics tend to generate a lot of buzz because they often bring back fan-favorite Pokémon with exclusive moves that haven’t been available in a long time. Expect more details on the featured Pokémon to drop closer to September.

No confirmed Pokémon yet for any date. Scopely Explore’s post is intentionally light on specifics beyond the calendar itself. No featured Pokémon, no shiny reveals, no bonus lists. That’s typical for a “save the date” style post; the deeper details usually arrive two to three weeks ahead of each event.


Tips to Prepare for Season 24 of Pokémon GO

  • Stock Up on Inventory: With three Super Mega Raid Days and two Max Battle Days lined up, make sure your bag has plenty of space for Raid Passes, Max Particles, and healing items.

  • Clear Your Saturdays: Since nearly every weekend in the upcoming schedule features an event, plan your personal commitments ahead of time so you don’t miss out on exclusive bonuses.

  • Save Your PokéCoins: Wait for official announcements regarding event boxes in the in-game shop before spending your coins on routine bundles.


It is important to note that these dates are subject to change. As always, keep notifications turned on and check DIGANCY.com for each date in case of shifts. I’ll publish new content as Scopely Explore reveals the featured Pokémon and bonuses for each event.
