Season M-2
Pokémon Champions Season M-2 / Season 2 Start Time
Pokémon Champions Season M-2 / Season 2 begins on May 13, 2026 and continues until June 17, 2026. For most players, the important detail is that the practical start happens after the season-change maintenance window, because the game may be unavailable while maintenance is running.
The previous ranked season, Season M-1, ends on May 13, 2026 at 01:59 UTC. The next season is tied to the same overall Regulation Set M-A period, so teams that are legal under M-A remain the focus unless a separate notice changes the eligible roster or battle parameters.
Season M-2 / Season 2 start time by UTC
The short answer is: Season M-2 starts after maintenance on May 13, 2026. The known ranked schedule places the season change at the May 13 reset, while the maintenance notice gives a planned maintenance window from 03:00 UTC to 06:00 UTC. If you are planning last-minute ladder games, treat the end of Season M-1 as the real deadline, not the maintenance end.
What resets when Season M-2 / Season 2 begins?
Season M-2 brings a new ranked season, a new Battle Pass cycle, and new Season Points progress. Ranked results are counted by season for final rank, placement, and rewards. Battle Pass progress is also seasonal, so any planning around rewards should use the season end time instead of the regulation end time.
Why Season M-2 / Season 2 can be listed before it is playable
Ranked seasons are scheduled by UTC timestamps, while maintenance controls when players can actually access the game. That is why this page separates the listed season period from the practical start time after maintenance. If official notices change the maintenance window, use the updated maintenance notice as the practical play-time source.
