Wyndon Stadium (Japanese: シュートスタジアムShoot Stadium) is the official Stadium of Wyndon. The largest stadium in Galar, Wyndon Stadium serves as the venue for the Galar League's Champion Cup. It later becomes the site of the Galarian Star Tournament.
Each time the player wins a Champion Cup tournament or a Galarian Star Tournament during the post-game, the Ball Guy will give them one of the following rewards.
Rather than facing an Elite Four like in other regions, the Champion Cup is a single-elimination tournament that determines who is eligible to challenge the Champion for the title.
The Finals is a single-elimination tournament of the eight finalists: the player and all the Gym Leaders, minus Opal. All Trainers battled during the Finals will Gigantamax their last Pokémon at the first opportunity.
Bede
Before the Finals officially commence, Bede will suddenly enter the stadium and challenge the player.
Before the Champion Match between the player and Leon begins, Rose will suddenly interrupt the tournament via a broadcast, announcing that he has brought about the Darkest Day. The battle against Leon will recommence after the player has defeated Eternatus.
After completing the post-game story, the player can participate in Champion tournaments any time they want. In addition to various NPCs the player has met during the main game, several minor Gym Challengers also take part in these tournaments.
After completing both The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra stories, the player is allowed to compete in the Galarian Star Tournament at Wyndon Stadium, which consists of a Multi Battle elimination tournament with NPCs that the player has already met.
In the next episode, Ash and Goh tried to battle the Drednaw, but their attacks were ineffective against it. However, after Pikachu unexpectedly Gigantamaxed and Leon gave Ash advice, Drednaw was defeated and returned to its normal size. The next day, Leon invited Ash to a battle at the stadium, like he had requested earlier. The clash between Ash's Gigantamax Pikachu and Leon's Gigantamax Charizard ended in Leon's victory. Afterwards, Leon promised Ash that they'd have an official rematch one day.

In Battling Turned Up to Eleven!, Ash was designated to have a World Coronation Series match with Marnie at Wyndon Stadium. Although Team Yell initially fooled Ash into going to Spikemuth instead, Piers managed to take him to the stadium in time. While the battle between Ash's Gengar and Marnie's Grimmsnarl eventually ended in Ash's victory, Marnie's battle skills still impressed the audience and thus provided help in revitalizing her dilapidated hometown.
In Meeting Up with the Monarch!, Ash visited Wyndon Stadium to watch a World Coronation Series match between Leon and Flint. After Leon had won the battle, Ash met up with him, and he invited Ash to come training with him, which he happily accepted.
