November–January: off-season
The 2026 NPB season ends with the SMBC Nippon Series (Yokohama DeNA BayStars vs Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks). Game 7 — only if needed — is scheduled for Sun 1 Nov 2026, 18:00 at Yokohama Stadium. After Game 3 on 27 Oct, SoftBank led the series 3–0, so Game 7 is unlikely. There are no other NPB games in Tokyo or Osaka in our window.
Buying Nippon Series tickets
NPB's English site links to dedicated overseas sales pages on Lawson Ticket for each stadium. General sales opened 22 Oct 2026 at 12:00; domestic sellers were Lawson Ticket, e+ and Ticket PIA.
