How Long Will The Great League Last?

The Great League kicks off today (Monday, August 30) and will finish on Monday, September 13.

From September 13 onwards, the Great League will be replaced by the Ultra League and the Ultra League Remix.

That means players will have two weeks to assemble and battle with the best Great League team in the GO Battle League for Season 9.
