I don't think that Ash will not compete in the league.

Do you think that there will be an Alolan Pokémon League Conference in the Sun & Moon anime series?

Speaking of the league, I want them to make another group phase like in Johto with 1vs1 battles (would like 2vs2 more but I think that wouldn't be that likely. If not in SM, then for the next generation.
But this time a group of four please with the two best making it to the K.O phase. Imagine Ash and a main rival like Paul being in one group and Ash loses the fight against said rival, but making it out of the group phase at second place and ultimately winning against him in the final. That also could put Ash under immens pressure if the first fight was a draw and the second against the rival was a loss. It would simply mean Ash could lose a fight without failing the league immidiatly.

I could see the first round being a Battle Royal battle, since it seems to be quite popular in Alola. 4 trainers battling each other with the winner advancing to the next round.

You do know that every league has it's own champions league right? It's just the league winner challlenging the E4 and the champion.

Honestly if he doesn't it is a huge middle finger to him since he is the only one entering with league experience. It would be like Jackie Chan entering a fighting tournament and losing to a jewish deli man who never fought in his life.
Though with the way SM is I would not be shocked if Ash over sleeps and forgets to register for the league...

Did you forget Ilima, not to mention there will probably be some characters of the days that will be participating that already had experience with a being in a league. Look I get that this will be the first Alolan league but that does not mean every trainer that is participating in the league will be a rookie or will be someone who has never been in a league before, chances are besides Ilima and Ash there are going to be other characters that have participate in leagues before.
the push back of sword and shield helps . before that i would have said no but i think they will. how else can they possibly fill the time now.
as for ash winning..dont count on it. that will probably be held to the end. i guess they could always have ash win then discover a new league and turn down his duties as champion to explore this new league however if they did that then what would be the point of having ash win. not a very good champion to shurk his duties to go explore elsewhere. and how would you justify a champion in one region being able to compete in another region getting badges.
no, being a champion doesnt fit ash . if ash was a champion he'd have to be upgraded to this unflawed and unbeatable trainer which wouldnt work with the series at all.
sorry for that rant. but, as i said, yes, i believe there will be a league. i wouldnt mind seeing all the kids compete. they could stick around for a round or 2.

Was it stayed he even knows about it or if he is even returning? We have had people in the anime say they would return but never do.

Sick of dealing with idiots.

Going by recent games release date hoenn remake was launched in 2014 nov, SM in nov 2016, USUM in 2017 nov and LGPE in 2018 nov so going by this trend SS should be launched in nov of 2019 so i think they have around 25-26 episodes left not counting today's one.

He was specifically invited by Kukui to participate in the Alolan League which he did accept, the writers wouldn't have gone out of their way to show Kukui inviting him to join the league and him accepting the invitation if Ilima wasn't going to return for the league.

Honestly I've skipped a lot of SM. Much more than previous series just due to how boring most of it seems so must have missed this but it is good to know.

Kanto is love. Kanto is life.
I'd say league will be Top 16 or Top 32. Not many people will enter the league( like traditional level league). Ash, Gladion, Ilima, Kiawe and Hau will likely be participants. I'd say only final battle would be 6 on 6. Winner would challenge Kukui.I'd say Ash will win( beat Gladion in finale) challenge Kukui but will lose. I know Kukui's Braviary was one shot by Mega Aggron, but that was due comical effects. He'd likely be really strong. I'd say Kukui would be stronger than Drake(OI) but weaker than E4.

Top 128 trainers participating maybe. After all is the 1st Alola league. The first round could be a Battle Royale battle, where 1 of the 4 advances to the next round, Top 32.
Top 32 Kiawe vs Viren, since he wants to be part of every important thing in Alola. Ash vs Mina, if she returns.
Top 16 Ash vs Acerola, although I want Acerola to be the dream crusher.
Top 8 Ash vs Kiawe, Gladion vs Ilima maybe, Kukui vs Kahili/Guzma.
Top 4 Ash vs Gladion, Kukui vs Kahili/Guzma.
Finals Ash vs Kukui.

No. They will break the 4th wall by Kukui telling Ash they're cancelling league conference because some Western fans don't find his team and/or the series worthy.

Welp, I guess this question has been answered. There's not going to be a real league in Alola...

We need more characters like:
No overused Pokémon, no psuedo-legendaries, no friends or expected rivals, just pure class battle. #MakeAlolaGreatAgain, although I'm preparing for disappointment.

I thought her battle with ash is probably most forgotten battle in whole anime, easily the best league opponent to date.
