The Pokémon Latin America International Championships (LAIC) will be held from November 20 to 22 at the Centro de Convenções - Distrito Anhembi in São Paulo, Brazil. It is the first International Championships event of the 2027 Championship Series season. With the broadcast schedule and viewer reward conditions posted on the official tournament page, here is a breakdown centered on the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) division.

The Korean times below reflect the official page's Brasília Time (BRT, UTC-3) converted by adding 12 hours to Korean Standard Time (KST).

For viewers in Korea, TCG broadcasts begin at night across all three days, with Days 1 and 2 running through the following morning.

The broadcast will be available on the official LAIC Broadcast Hub, Twitch, and the Play! Pokémon YouTube channel. However, the viewer reward conditions announced on the official page are tied specifically to Twitch viewing.

Viewer Rewards: Three Tiers of 30, 45, and 60 Minutes

Pokémon TCG Live rewards can be earned on the dedicated TCG channel, Twitch.tv/PokemonTCG. The official page states that viewers can qualify by watching official channel livestreams or rebroadcasts with Twitch Drops enabled in their Twitch settings. Viewing time is tracked on an 'aggregate' basis.

| Requirement | Reward (Pokémon TCG Live Code) | |---|---| | 30 minutes or more in total | 4 'Mega Evolution—Delta Reign' booster packs | | 45 minutes or more in total | 2 Special Illustration Rare + 2 Double Rare Raikou ex | | 60 minutes or more in total | Salamence deck cosmetics, Salamence avatar jacket | | 45 minutes or more on partner co-streamer channels | 1 Illustration Rare Inkay, 1 Illustration Rare Masquerain |

Received codes must be redeemed in Pokémon TCG Live. All codes expire on December 21 at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), which converts to December 22 at 2:00 AM KST.

The official page refers to the 45-minute reward of 4 Raikou ex cards as a 'playset' that can be immediately used in a player's next deck.

Rewards for other titles are hosted on different channels. Twitch.tv/Pokemon will distribute Sylveon for Pokémon Champions, while Twitch.tv/PokemonGO will offer Pokémon GO Timed Research for 30 minutes or more of viewing.

Over $500,000 in Total Prizes, First Cosplay Showcase

The official page announced that the prize pool includes over $500,000 in cash prizes, along with Pokémon TCG booster packs, commemorative merchandise such as promo cards and playmats, and direct invitations to the Pokémon World Championships. Younger participants may receive scholarships or prepaid VISA cards in lieu of cash awards.

All participating players will receive a welcome kit containing a cap, playmat, card sleeves, deck box, and a promo card stamped with the International Championships logo.

On-site programs have also expanded. This marks the first time a Cosplay Showcase will be held at LAIC. 'First Steps,' an introductory area where beginners can build decks, play against other beginners, and take their decks home, is also debuting at LAIC. Certain activities, including the Cosplay Showcase, require advance registration.

Notes for Korean Viewers

Viewer rewards are digital items for use within Pokémon TCG Live, not physical cards. The English official page contains no information regarding a Korean-language broadcast. Because the final day's Championship Sunday TCG broadcast begins at 11:00 PM KST on Sunday, viewers with plans on Monday can make use of rebroadcasts. The official page notes that rebroadcast viewership also counts toward the reward criteria.
