Original story:
Pokemon TCG Live has been officially revealed after we have spotted 'TCG Live' on Fusion Strike products. This app is a successor to the current Pokemon TCG Online that released in 2011.
PTCG Live will come to Android, iOS with smartphone and tablet compatibility. And it also becomes available as a web version. With this web version, you can also play PTCG Live on PCs and Macs.
It's a free-to-play game and it's the first time it's officially supported for Smartphones. The game will also be cross-platform between all supported platforms. It will support devices back to iPhone and iPad (2017) with iOS 15, devices with Android 8.0, Windows 7, and MacOS X 10.12. Live will be available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese language.
There is no specific release date mentioned yet, just 'coming soon' for a global launch and later this year a 'Canadian soft launch for iOS and Android, global open beta for PC and Mac'.
Our friend and PokeGuardian contributor Immewnity has made a summary of all the relevant question and answers made available by Pokemon Support.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Live Beta FAQ
"Starting Feb. 22, 2022, Pokémon fans in Canada will be able to preview Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Live during the limited beta for iOS and Android, as well as Windows PC and macOS devices, before the online game launches around the world. Limited-beta participants will have the opportunity to play the upcoming Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars in Pokémon TCG Live prior to the expansion’s global release.
Canadian players can access the limited beta on mobile devices via the Apple App Store and Google Play, and on Windows PC and macOS devices by downloading the app from Pokemon.ca/TCGL, when the testing period goes live on February 22, 2022. They will also be able to enjoy cross-platform play during the limited beta. Furthermore, Pokémon TCG Online players will have the option of playing Pokémon TCG Live during the testing period without losing access to the Pokémon TCG Online app."
Additionally, some of you may have recently received code cards with Pokémon TCG Live branding as part of some Pokémon TCG products. Though Pokémon TCG Live is not available at this time, please know these cards are still redeemable in Pokémon TCG Online.

I was hoping it can be played in every country. My country Indonesia is still unplayable.
