PogChamps 6 was announced on {{Dts|2025|03|20}} during a Chess.com broadcast.{{cite web|title=State Of Chess: PogChamps, Chessable Courses, Fair Play Status, Product Updates, & More|website=Chess.com|date=March 21, 2025|access-date=March 21, 2025|url=https://www.chess.com/news/view/2025-state-of-chess}} The event was played from April 29 to May 2, and was won by English international footballer Eberechi Eze.https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/may/03/eze-does-it-england-footballer-wins-celebrity-chess-tournament

Chess.com claimed that viewership for the first tournament exceeded its "ambitious estimates." Trent Murray of The Esports Observer commented that the number of hours of chess watched on Twitch increased in June 2020, the month in which the first PogChamps took place.{{cite web |url=https://esportsobserver.com/chessdotcom-twitch-interview/ |title=How Chess.com is Taking Chess 'Off Its Pedestal' Through Twitch Streamer Engagement |website=The Esports Observer |date=23 July 2020 |access-date=1 September 2020 |first=Trent |last=Murray}} Viewership increased especially after video of Cr1TiKaL checkmating xQc within 6 moves went viral. David Llada, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for FIDE, said that the competition "demonstrates that chess can be fun from minute one."{{cite web |last1=Llada |first1=David |last2=Löffler |first2=Stefan |date=13 June 2020 |title=Is Pogchamps a good way to promote chess? |url=https://www.chesstech.org/2020/is-pogchamps-a-good-way-to-promote/ |access-date=1 September 2020 |website=ChessTech}}

The reaction to PogChamps from the Chess community has been mixed. While GMs Hikaru Nakamura, Daniel Naroditsky, and Robert Hess; IMs Anna Rudolf, Levy "GothamChess" Rozman, and Daniel Rensch; WGM Zhou; and WFMs Botez and Anna Cramling have all supported PogChamps by coaching players and providing commentary for the matches, a few others have been critical of its popularity and growth. In February 2021, GM Ian Nepomniachtchi tweeted saying PogChamps 3 is promoted "as a popcorn stuff" and "is replacing and displacing any real chess content".{{Cite tweet |author=Ian Nepomniachtchi |user=lachesiq |number=1363614821002969091 |title=With all respect towards @chesscom and amount of work they put into promoting chess, #PogChamps3 as a popcorn stuff is replacing and displacing any real chess content and this is just terrifying. #sad |date=21 February 2021}} GM Magnus Carlsen has called PogChamps a "good initiative" and tweeted that "[PogChamps 3] is doing a great job in [bringing] chess to more people."{{Cite tweet |author=Magnus Carlsen |user=MagnusCarlsen |number=1363849880477839365 |title=I do think the event is doing a great job in bringing chess to more people, I'd never stoop as low as to watch it myself though. If I did watch, I'd probably be rooting for Ludwig |date=22 February 2021}} GM Anish Giri responded tweeting that he is "in a complete agreement [with Magnus Carlsen] for once."{{Cite tweet |author=Anish Giri |user=anishgiri |number=1363850925174104066 |title=Tell me you mean @LudwigAhgren and not @gmjlh and we are in a complete agreement for once.

Nepomniachtchi later clarified saying that he is "obviously happy more and more people are getting involved into chess."{{Cite tweet |author=Ian Nepomniachtchi |user=lachesiq |number=1363816516035227650 |title=Thanks for the dialogue and the passion everyone :) To clarify a little: 1. I'm obviously happy more and more people are getting involved into chess. 2. Although I'm not the biggest fan of #PogChamps, the show is easy&fun to watch. And indeed it serves the aformentioned purpose. |date=22 February 2021}} He voiced his concern saying the "indisputable success of Chess.com Pogchamps might set a new standard of a chess show" and he "can’t be sure it won’t prevail over other formats."{{Cite tweet |author=Ian Nepomniachtchi |user=lachesiq |number=1363816517499035651 |title=3. What are my concerns? Indisputable success of @chesscom #Pogchamps might set a new standard of a chess show, and I can't be sure it won't prevail over other formats. 4. And yes, I actually contributed there a little by a coaching session with @itshafu Smiling face with open mouth Peace for everyone! |date=22 February 2021}} In the twitter post he also mentioned that he had previously contributed to PogChamps by coaching PogChamps 2 winner itsHafu. GM Nakamura has shared his perspective on multiple occasions, supporting the tournament saying that "anything that brings chess to a bigger audience, anything where people can get into the game (and) understand it, is always going to be helpful for growing the game without a doubt."{{YouTube|rJlVicrMbCE|"Chess Twitter Is Something Else"}}
