All-Japan continues the Champions Carnival 2026 today in Osaka. Today’s event will follow the same pattern as the first tournament events so far, with a non-tournament opening match, 3 tournament matches, another non-tournament multi-man tag match then 3 more tournament matches. Today’s main event will be a Block A match between Kento Miyahara & Yuma Anzai which, like several other matches, is a potential Triple Crown rematch preview depending on who wins the tournament.
Today’s event will be held at Umeda Sky Building Stellar Hall in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV in Japanese. The event is a legit advance sellout. This will also be taped for a GAORA SPORTS broadcast in Japan at a later date. Based on the TV schedule for when it does air it suggests the event’s running time including an intermission will be close to 3 hours.

Rei Saito, MUSASHI & Naruki Doi vs. Hokuto Omori, Takashi & Xyon

Updates below will begin at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.
UPDATE (Pre-show): There have been last-minute changes to the card because Jun Saito is now off the event. Right eye injury suffered yesterday. Madoka Kikuta will get a tournament win by forfeit and will now face Shota Kofuji in a non-tournament match. The Bodyguard is the replacement for Kofuji in Match 5.
9:50 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in just under 10 minutes.
9:58 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Umeda Sky Building Stellar Hall in Osaka, Japan. Commentary should begin shortly.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout and we can see most of the crowd form overhead hard camera. I think the venue’s max capacity for wrestling is in the 350-400 range so that’s where the number should be. A few empty seats but they are quickly being filled by late arrivals.
The matches should begin shortly.
The matches begin at 10:02 PM PT/1:02 AM ET. Unfortunately at that moment the website crashed and I have temporarily lost the feed. Apparently also launching some kind of re-designed website…
