In the Spirit Realm, Grandmaster Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) fights against an adversary named Kai (J. K. Simmons), who has defeated other kung fu masters in the realm and taken their Qi, turning them into small jade charms. Oogway willingly gives in and also has his Qi stolen, but not before warning Kai that the Dragon Warrior, Po (Jack Black), will stop him. Kai takes this as a challenge to steal the Qi from the Dragon Warrior and returns to the mortal realm.
Meanwhile, Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) announces his retirement from teaching to begin his training to master Qi and passes the role of teacher to Po. Excited at first, Po discovers that teaching kung fu is not as easy as he expected, as the Furious Five members Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Monkey (Jackie Chan) are injured as a result. Po is demoralized as a teacher, which makes him question who he really is and whether he is the Dragon Warrior. In response, Shifu advises Po that instead of trying to be a teacher, he should try to be himself.
Po heads home to his adoptive father, Mr. Ping (James Hong), at his noodle shop, where a panda named Li Shan (Bryan Cranston) breaks Po's dumpling-eating record. They both soon learn that Li is Po's biological father and they bond with each other, much to Ping's jealousy. After introducing Li to Shifu and his friends, the valley is attacked by jade statue zombies or "jombies" controlled by Kai and resembling past Kung Fu masters, several of them long dead. The team then learns through research that Kai was Oogway's old friend who fought with him as brothers-in-arms long ago. When Oogway was injured, Kai carried him until they reached a secret village of pandas, who healed Oogway using their Qi. The pandas taught Oogway how to give Qi, but when the power-hungry Kai decided to drain it from them to increase his power, Oogway defeated him and banished him to the spirit realm. To defeat Kai, Po must learn to master Qi himself, which Li offers to teach him by going to a secret panda village. Po, Li and Mr. Ping travel to the village while Shifu and the Furious Five stay behind where Shifu sends Crane and Mantis to track the jade zombies and find Kai. Although Po is eager to learn Qi, he first learns the relaxed life of a panda in the village, which he feels grateful to be a part of.
Crane and Mantis meet up with Master Bear, Master Croc and Master Chicken, whose villages were also attacked by jade zombies and all their Qi stolen by Kai. After Shifu and the rest of the Furious Five learn that many Kung Fu masters are missing, Kai arrives at the Jade Palace with a zombified Crane and Mantis and destroys it, but not before taking the Qi of Monkey and Viper. Afterwards, he takes Shifu's Qi as well while Tigress escapes to warn Po. Afraid, Li and the pandas prepare to run away. When Po demands that Li teach him how to use Qi, he confesses that he does not know how, and that he lied so he wouldn't lose his son again. Hurt over his father's misdirection, Po isolates himself and trains vigorously to confront Kai. Mr. Ping admits to Li that he was initially worried Po would be taken away from him, but realized that Li being a part of Po's life simply added to his happiness. Tigress confronts Po and tells him that he cannot defeat Kai without continuing to discover the secret of Qi, during which Po confesses that the experience has him once more doubting his potential. Li and the villagers, having decided to stay, ask Po to train them so they can fight back. Realizing what had previously made him fail as a teacher, Po agrees and teaches them using their everyday activities as their assets.
Kai arrives and sends his jade zombie minions to capture Po, but they are held off by the pandas and Tigress, distracting Kai. The plan works in holding off the army, but when Po tries to use the Wuxi finger hold on Kai to send him back to the Spirit Realm, he reveals that it can only work on mortals, not a spirit warrior. Kai gains the upper hand in their fight, but Po uses the Wuxi finger hold again on himself while gripping Kai, transporting them both to the beyond. They fight again, with Kai regaining the advantage to subdue, and he begins petrifying Po. Using what they learned from Po and about who they are, Li, Tigress, Mr. Ping and the pandas are able to use their Qi to save him. Po then becomes a master of Qi after realizing who he really is and uses his Qi to create a giant dragon figure which he uses to overload Kai, causing him to explode, killing him and restoring all the fallen masters to normal and transporting them back to the mortal world.
In an ethereal golden pond, Grandmaster Oogway appears to Po, and informs him his journey has come full circle, revealing his role by selecting Po as Dragon Warrior because of his descent from the ancient pandas, and his embodiment of the yin-yang. He also reveals his role in alerting Li to Po's survival, and declares Po his true successor. By choice, Po wields a mystic green yin-yang staff bestowed by Oogway to return to the mortal world. He and his extended family all return to the Valley, where they continue practicing kung fu and their Qi under the guidance of Po and the Furious Five.
