Twilight Trails begins September 8
Pokémon GO has revealed Twilight Trails as its next in-game Season. The new Season begins September 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time and runs until December 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The August 24 reveal arrived through Pokémon GO's official social account with a short nighttime-themed teaser. The announcement introduces the name and visual direction for the Season without laying out the complete event calendar.
Forever Forward ends as Twilight Trails begins
Twilight Trails takes over immediately after Forever Forward. Pokémon GO's official Forever Forward page lists that Season as ending September 8 at 10:00 a.m. local time, creating a direct transition into Twilight Trails at the same local time.
Forever Forward began June 2 and included Pokémon GO Fest 2026, new Mega-Evolved Pokémon, Dynamax additions, Daily Discoveries, Community Days and its seasonal GO Pass. Those seasonal rotations conclude as the game moves into Twilight Trails.
The first reveal focuses on the new Season theme
The Twilight Trails teaser uses moonlit imagery and Pokémon silhouettes rather than presenting a full list of events, bonuses or raid schedules. The Season name and September 8 start are the central details established by the first reveal.
Additional announcements can provide the individual events and Pokémon rotations that will make up the September 8 to December 1 Season. The initial announcement itself remains a teaser rather than a complete seasonal breakdown.
