Time to get out your calendar. On November 9, Niantic revealed the dates of the Community Days for the next Pokémon GO season, from December 2026 to February 2027. The announcement also sets seven other themed days, from Max Battles to Super Mega Raids. The featured Pokémon are not yet known, but you can already block off your Saturdays.
Four Community Days, Including a Double Weekend in December
The season starts strong: the December Community Day spans two days, as year-end tradition dictates. In January, a “Classic” edition brings back a Pokémon that has already been featured in the past, with its exclusive move. Here is the full schedule:
- Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2026: December Community Day
- Saturday, January 2, 2027: Classic Community Day
- Saturday, January 16, 2027: Community Day
- Saturday, February 6, 2027: Community Day
Until then, the current season isn’t done yet: 
Pawniard will be the star of the November 21 Community Day.
Raids, Max Battles, Hatching: The Other Events
Community Days are not the only thing on the schedule. Niantic has also set seven Saturdays devoted to a specific activity. These events generally last a few hours, with bonuses concentrated in that window:
- Saturday, December 5, 2026: Max Battle Day
- Saturday, December 19, 2026: Raid Day
- Saturday, December 26, 2026: Hatch Day
- Saturday, January 9, 2027: Super Mega Raid Day
- Saturday, January 23, 2027: Max Battle Day
- Saturday, January 30, 2027: Super Mega Raid Day
- Saturday, February 13, 2027: Raid Day
In total, that makes eleven events, or one every Saturday from December 5 to February 13, without exception. The two Super Mega Raid Days in January come at just the right time to push your Megas toward Super Max Level. The Hatch Day the day after Christmas will be the chance to use up the Incubators received over the holidays.
Key Takeaways
You now know all the dates through mid-February. What remains is to discover the featured Pokémon, which Niantic will reveal over the coming weeks.
