One Piece Day ‘26 livestream times revealed as fans get ready for big news
One Piece Day ‘26 is an upcoming celebration of the long-running manga and anime franchise. Bandai Namco, Shueisha Inc., and Toei Animation Co. have announced the full details of the event, which centers on the iconic Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. The event is expected to feature announcements about upcoming projects in the One Piece franchise.
One Piece Day is an annual event commemorating the July 22, 1997 debut of the One Piece manga in Weekly Shonen Jump. The celebration was officially recognized as an anniversary by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2017. What began as a manga milestone has grown into a major industry event, with Bandai Namco hosting in-person celebrations in recent years.
This year’s festivities will take place at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba City, Japan. While the in-person event provides an exclusive experience for attendees, the organizers will livestream key programs for global fans unable to attend in person. This approach allows the One Piece community worldwide to participate in announcements and programming.
