Konami updated the "Live Broadcast Information" and "Food Court" sections on the official page for the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG tournament "Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES JAPAN TOKYO 2026" (hereafter YCSJ Tokyo 2026) on November 13. On the same day, Konami also released information pages for three campaigns—Countdown, Hashtag, and Deck Theme Prediction—to be held on the official X account (@YuGiOh_OCG_INFO).

Live-Streamed on YouTube Starting from the Final Tournament at Big Sight on the 22nd

The tournament will be held on Sunday, November 22, in South Exhibition Halls South 1–3 of Tokyo Big Sight. Capacity is set at 5,000 players. According to the official schedule, doors open at 8:00 AM, round 1 preliminary check-in closes at 9:30 AM, preliminaries start at 10:00 AM, the final tournament begins at 5:00 PM, and the event is scheduled to conclude at 9:00 PM. Participation was determined via an advance lottery system where winners purchase a "Duelist Pouch" priced at 4,000 yen (tax included) in advance; applications have already closed.

The broadcast schedule updated this time is as follows. The official page stated that start times are subject to change depending on event progress, and confirmed times will be announced via the chat on the YouTube "YCSJ" live stream page. It was also noted that new information will be announced during the broadcast.

3 X Campaigns Start Sequentially from the 15th

Following the official X account is required for all three campaigns, and winners will be contacted around December via X direct message (formerly DM).

| Campaign | Period | How to Participate | Prize | |---|---|---|---| | Deck Theme Prediction | Nov 15–21, 23:59 | Predict the 1st to 3rd most used deck themes at the tournament and post with the hashtag '#YCSJデッキテーマ予想' | 'YCSJ Special Token 2-Card Set' (Super Rare Parallel style), 10 winners drawn from correct predictors | | Countdown | Nov 20–22, 23:59 | Repost the campaign posts uploaded daily during the period | 'Servant Overcoming God - Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Duel Set', 1 winner per day, 3 total winners | | Hashtag | Nov 20–22, 23:59 | Post with '#YCSJ_TOKYO_2026' answering the designated topic (memories/impressions of YCSJ, what you want to do if participating, desired side events/projects) | Duelist Pouch, 3 winners |

The Duel Set offered as the Countdown prize is an event commemoration item priced at 6,000 yen (tax included) on the official page. It includes a special rubber Duel Field, 100 sleeves, and the bonus card "The Ultimate Creature of Destruction" (強靭！無敵！最強！) in Ultra Rare Parallel specification. Prizes for the Deck Theme Prediction and Hashtag campaigns are scheduled to ship in December. For all three campaigns, winning is limited to once per person, and accounts set to private cannot enter.

Points for Korean Readers

Participation in YCSJ itself is restricted to Japan residents. All three campaigns are also limited to "residents of Japan" with a shipping address within Japan, so participating on X from South Korea will not make one eligible to win. The live broadcast will take place on YouTube, and the official page makes no mention of overseas viewing restrictions. Since there is no time difference between Korea and Japan, the final match is scheduled for 8:30 PM on the 22nd in Korean time as well.
