Overview
The Toronto Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the fourth Regional-level event of the 2026 season in the North American circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set F, and it is played using open team lists. This returning ruleset was last used inĀ a North American tournamentĀ in April 2024, and in a Canada tournament in March 2024!
A little bit of history
Canada has been part of the North America region of the official TPCi circuit since the introduction of continental regions. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, one old-era National Championships and the 2013 World Championships. Canada’s greatest VGC successes are the National Championship title won in 2012 by Tony Cheung, the first and only Nationals held locally; and the Worlds Top 8 results by Abdullah MohayyuddinĀ in 2023 andĀ Navjit JoshiĀ in 2024. Since the second place byĀ Team Canada in the 2022 World Cup, Canadian players have been particularly strong!
The most recent tournament held in Canada was theĀ 2025 Vancouver Regional, played with the VGC Regulation Set G in March 2025. TheĀ finals saw American player Behzad MuntazirĀ defeat Mexican playerĀ Alejandro TerrazasĀ to win his first Regional Championship title!
The last time there was an event in Ontario was theĀ 2025 Toronto Regional, played with the VGC Regulation Set H in December 2024. TheĀ finalsĀ saw 2016 World Champion Wolfe GlickĀ defeat 3-time International Champion Marco SilvaĀ to win his record-breaking 10th Regional Championship title!
It is a returning ruleset! The last Regulation Set F tournament held in Canada was the 2024 Vancouver Regional, played in March 2024. The finals saw 2018 Senior World Champion James EvansĀ defeat 2-time Regional Champion Brady SmithĀ to win his first Regional Championship title in the Masters division!
