It is held in Lumiose City, but unlike most other League Conferences, the competition is not held there annually, and its location was only revealed shortly before the competition, with the stadium still being under construction at the time of the announcement.

The tournament began in A League of His Own! and concluded in Down to the Fiery Finish!, with the closing ceremony being interrupted by Team Flare, who attacked the city with Z2 and caused massive damage to it and the stadium.

In Taking Two For The Team!, the stadium served as the site of Ash and Drasna's World Coronation Series battle.
