MEMORIAL GATE 2026 in Wakayama, Dragon Gate’s annual mid-late winter signature event in Wakayama, kicks off the promotion’s February schedule today. In terms of significance, it’s about on par with the monthly Tokyo events which border on mid-major, with a selection of solid matches and today there is a title match main event, as the Open The Triangle Gate Championship is on the line when Hyo, Ben-K & Mochizuki Junior defend against KAI, ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato.
Today’s event will be held at Wakayama Prefectural Gym in Wakayama and can be watched LIVE on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. It’s not yet known if there will be any commentary. There are 6 matches scheduled which is standard for a non-major Dragon Gate event and possibly an intermission along the way, so I’m guessing the running time will be around 2 1/2 hours. (Pre-show Update: There will be no commentary, although an alternate version with rotating wrestler commentary will also be available)
Today’s lineup:
JACKY KAMEI & Riiita vs. Homare & El Cielo
Jiro Shinbashi vs. Genki Horiguchi (comedy match)
Ultimo Dragon & Ho Ho Lun vs. Susumu Yokosuka & KAGETORA
Strong Machine J, Kzy & U-T vs. Madoka Kikiuta, BIGBOSS Shimizu & Kota Minoura
Yuki Yoshioka, Dragon Dia, Ryoya Tanaka & Marcus Mathers vs. YAMATO, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & Naruki Doi
Open The Triangle Gate Champions Hyo, Ben-K & Mochizuki Junior vs. KAI, ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato for the titles

Updates below will begin at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.
9:40 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in the next 15 minutes.
9:46 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Wakayama Prefectural Gym in Wakayama, Japan. There is no commentary. For the alternate feed, wrestler commentary will begin once the matches begin.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. While the venue has a listed capacity of at least 3000 the setup will be nowhere near that. The post-pandemic average for this event that I’ve seen has been in the 550-600 range so I’ll predict that starting out.
The matches should begin in 20-30 minutes.
