We would like to announce the schedule for the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J1 League season.
Although we finished second in the Meiji Yasuda J1 Hyakunen Koso League, the average attendance for 10 home games was 27,975, surpassing the 2025 season (average of 27,401 per game), including matches held at the National Stadium (now MUFG Stadium), and setting a new club record. We sincerely thank you for your support.
In the summer of 2026, the J-League will enter a new turning point with the season transition. For the 2026/27 season, the top team is scheduled to begin activities on Tuesday, July 7th. We have also secured a spot in the AFC Champions League Elite 26/27, and the entire club will unite to aim for titles both domestically and in Asia.
We appreciate your passionate support for Antlers in the 2026/27 season!
