The Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series, often abbreviated as YCS, is a series of large two-day tournaments that replaced the Shonen Jump Championship (SJC) Series in 2010. Unlike the SJCs, which exclusively took place in North America, YCSs are organized in all TCG regions, i.e. North America, Central America, South America (organized by Konami America) as well as Europe and Oceania (organized by Konami Europe). In the case of Europe and Oceania, YCSs replaced the Pharaoh/Fortune Tour, which was the main tournament series in those areas pre-2010.

Outside of the WCQ season in summer (consisting of Nationals, Continentals and the World Championship), YCSs are the main premier events that take place in the TCG countries throughout the year.

Each YCS consists of the main tournament, as well as public side events such as Win-A-Mat, ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! and different Time Wizard formats.

In terms of attendance numbers, YCSs can vary quite a lot. The largest YCS ever was YCS Long Beach 2012 (marketed as the 100th YCS), which attracted 4,364 players. On the other hand, the smallest YCS ever, YCS Lima 2012, only had 191 players in attendance. Interestingly, these two events took place just one week apart.
In recent years, European YCSs have consistenly been the largest ones, almost always exceeding 2,000 players. North American YCSs tend to be a bit smaller, usually falling somewhere in the 1,000-2,000 player range depending on the location. Oceanic YCSs, which almost always happen in Sydney, average about 700-900 players. The smallest YCSs are the ones in Latin America. In this region, Mexico is the only country where the tournaments consistenly exceed 600 players.

In early 2019, the TEAM YCS Atlanta was held, the first ever 3v3 YCS. These events have since become a fixture in the YCS circuit. In recent years, Konami has typically held three TEAM YCSs in a year: A North American and a Central American one at the start of the calendar year and then a South American one around September. The North American ones almost always takes place in Las Vegas, while the Latin American locations vary. So far, Konami Europe has not adopted the TEAM YCS format.

From mid 2021 to early 2022, Konami exclusively organized Remote Duel YCSs due to the onging Covid-19 pandemic. Premier Remote Duel tournaments had not existed prior to Covid. After the return to in-person events in April 2022, Konami Europe decided to stop organizing events like this. Konami America on the other hand has continued to host one North American and one Latin American Remote Duel YCS per year.

Currently, the record for most YCS wins of a single player is held by Chris LeBlanc and Jesse Kotton, who have both won six tournaments, followed by Cristian Urena with five wins. Jesse and Cristian are also the players who have topped the most YCSs, at 37 and 35 respectively.
Among players from outside North America, Joshua Schmidt, Andres Torres and Alejandro Vivaldo are the record holders with four wins each.
