Pokemon GO Ed Sheeran Collab Event: What to Expect

Pokemon GO trainers have the chance to enjoy an in-app concert headlined by none other than water-type trainer, Ed Sheeran.

Ed Sheeran will be performing in Pokemon GO later today, Monday, Nov. 22, at 2 p.m. ET. Trainers can tune in to hear the UK-based musician perform a collection of songs off his new album, "=," which released in late October. Fans of Sheeran's popular recent releases such as "Bad Habits," "Perfect," and "Thinking Out Loud," won't want to miss this event.

Below, we've broken down what players can expect once the concert goes live.

How to Watch the Pokemon GO Ed Sheeran Concert

According to Niantic Labs, all players need to do in order to listen to the concert is open the Pokemon GO app on their device. From the moment the event is set to start, an in-app News post will appear with the performance embedded and ready to be viewed.

It will be available until Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 4 p.m. ET.

Additionally, Sheeran's song "Overpass Graffiti" will play every night for as long as the post is live.
