Japan Fight Schedule October 2026: RIZIN, UFC, ONE and Boxing in Japan Time

Nine main combat-sports events are officially set for October 2026, from RIZIN in Nagasaki on the 3rd to Krush.193 in Tokyo on the 31st (as of 25 September).

October stacks Japanese promotions (RIZIN, ONE SAMURAI, RISE, Krush) on top of UFC shows that land in Japan's early morning or middle of the night, plus Tomoki Kameda's world title shot in Las Vegas. This page lists only the October events that promoters had officially announced as of 25 September 2026, with the Japan start time (JST), the venue and how to watch in Japan. Every time below is Japan Standard Time and was read from the promoter's own page. Cards change, so check the official page before the event.

October 2026 fight schedule (Japan time)

UFC in Japan streams on U-NEXT under the deal UFC announced in November 2025, which runs to 2031 and covers every numbered event and every Fight Night live. U-NEXT's UFC page lists the plan at 2,189 yen a month (tax incl.).

Sat 3 Oct: RIZIN LANDMARK 16 in NAGASAKI

RIZIN's event page gives the venue as Nagasaki Stadium City's HAPPINESS ARENA, with doors at 12:00 and the start at 14:00 (both planned). The first bout on RIZIN's official card is Yoshinori Horie vs Sho Patrick Usami (MMA, 71.0 kg). RIZIN has not named a main event.

Pay-per-view is sold on RIZIN 100 CLUB, RIZIN LIVE, ABEMA and SKY PerfecTV!. RIZIN's PPV page lists 5,500 yen (tax incl.) in advance until 23:59 on Friday 2 October, 6,000 yen on the day and 4,400 yen for the archive, which stays up until 23:59 on Thursday 8 October. The stream is scheduled to open at 12:30 on 3 October. RIZIN 100 CLUB members get 1,000 yen off, and SKY PerfecTV! pricing differs.

Sun 4 Oct: UFC 332, Silva vs Wang

UFC's Japanese event page puts the main card at 09:00 JST on Sunday 4 October, prelims at 07:00 and early prelims at 05:00. The venue is the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main event is a women's flyweight title fight between Natália Silva and China's Wang Cong, listed on UFC's page as No.1 and No.8. The co-main is Deiveson Figueiredo vs Payton Talbott at bantamweight. The full card is on our UFC 332 event page.

Sun 11 and Sun 18 Oct: UFC Fight Nights

Two Fight Nights sit between the numbered events. On Sunday 11 October (JST) the UFC APEX in Las Vegas hosts Brendan Allen vs Christian Leroy Duncan at middleweight. On Sunday 18 October Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada hosts Joaquin Buckley vs Mike Malott at welterweight. UFC's Japanese pages list both with prelims at 06:00 and the main card at 09:00.

On the morning of the 18th, the Edmonton main card and the Figueroa vs Kameda show in Las Vegas both start at 09:00 JST. They stream on different services (UFC on U-NEXT, Kameda on DAZN), so set both up in advance if you want to watch both.

Sat 17 Oct: ONE SAMURAI 4

This is the fourth show in ONE Championship's Japan series, ONE SAMURAI, at Ariake Arena. Ticket Pia lists doors at 14:30 and the start at 16:00 (ONE's own event page shows 15:30, which may measure a different start). ONE's press release says every ONE SAMURAI event is exclusive live on U-NEXT.

ONE's official card (as of 25 September) has two world title fights: Jonathan Haggerty (UK) vs Hiroki Akimoto for the bantamweight kickboxing title, and Nadaka Yoshinari vs Rifdean Masdor (Malaysia) for the atomweight Muay Thai title. Masaaki Noiri, Rukiya Anpo, Itsuki Hirata, Yuki Yoza and Shintaro Matsukura are also on the card. ONE says it will induct Takeru into its Hall of Fame on the night and that more bouts will be announced "over the coming weeks". A KIAI event page for ONE SAMURAI 4 is coming soon.

Sat 17 Oct: RISE 202

RISE's official page gives Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, doors at 17:00 and a planned start of 17:15. The page credits ABEMA and Star Gate for broadcast and production.

Two title fights lead the card. RISE QUEEN flyweight (-52 kg) champion Tessa De Kom (Netherlands) defends against Yaya Weerasakreck (ranked No.4), and Ryunosuke Omori (No.1) meets Akito Nakashima (No.2) for the vacant 7th RISE featherweight (-57.5 kg) title. Tickets run from 40,000 yen (VIP) to 6,000 yen (A seats), with 500 yen added on the day. A KIAI event page for RISE 202 is coming soon.

That puts two stand-up shows in Tokyo on the same Saturday evening, ONE at Ariake and RISE at Korakuen Hall.

Sun 18 Oct: Brandon Figueroa vs Tomoki Kameda

Promoter Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) lists the show at 8 pm ET on Saturday 17 October, which is 09:00 JST on Sunday 18 October, at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. It is WBA featherweight champion Figueroa's first defence, billed by PBC as the co-main event under WBC super welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora vs Ermal Hadribeaj. Kameda's gym, TMK Boxing Gym, says the fight streams live worldwide on DAZN.

Boxing Mobile's October world title list (checked 25 September) has two fights, this one and the Fundora vs Hadribeaj main event, and this is the only one involving a Japanese boxer. The same site lists regional title fights (OPBF and WBO Asia Pacific among them) at Korakuen Hall on 3 and 29 October, which this page does not cover. Kameda's record is on our Tomoki Kameda profile. A Figueroa vs Kameda event page and an October–December world title schedule are coming soon.

Sun 25 Oct: UFC 333, Volkanovski vs Evloev

UFC 333 is at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, so in Japan the main card starts at 03:00 on Sunday 25 October. Prelims begin at 01:00 and early prelims at 23:00 on Saturday the 24th.

UFC's page lists featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski against No.1 Movsar Evloev in the main event, and bantamweight champion Petr Yan against No.1 Merab Dvalishvili for the bantamweight title. The card has two title fights. A KIAI event page for UFC 333 is coming soon.

Sat 31 Oct: Krush.193

K-1's official event page gives Korakuen Hall, doors at 17:00, preliminary bouts at 17:15 and main bouts from 18:00. The card includes the Krush lightweight title fight between Tatsuya Oiwa and Kenshin Kodama, and the final of the tournament for the 10th Krush bantamweight title between Ryu Ohira and Kakeru Nagano. Tickets run from 20,000 yen (SRS) to 7,000 yen (A), tax included. As of 25 September, K-1 lists the broadcast schedule as "TBA".
