How to Watch RIZIN PPV in Japan (2026): Platforms, Prices and the Browser-vs-App Gap

The short answer

Inside Japan, RIZIN PPV is sold on four platforms — RIZIN 100 CLUB, RIZIN LIVE, ABEMA and SKY PerfecTV! — and the price is set per event. For the most recent card, Super RIZIN.5 on 10 September 2026, RIZIN's official table read ¥6,500 in advance, ¥6,900 on the day and ¥5,000 for the archive (tax included), with SKY PerfecTV! priced separately at ¥6,900.

No PPV platform or price has been announced for the next card — RIZIN LANDMARK 16 in NAGASAKI on 3 October 2026 — as of 18 September 2026.

The money is not lost choosing a platform, though. It is lost in how you buy: on ABEMA the same ticket costs ¥600-800 more through the app than through a browser. RIZIN's own ¥6,500 / ¥6,900 / ¥5,000 line up exactly with ABEMA's browser column.

Prices and sales windows were checked for Super RIZIN.5 on 26 August 2026; the next-event section was checked on 18 September 2026. Platforms and prices are set per event; every figure below comes from RIZIN's or ABEMA's own page and is linked so you can re-check it.

The four platforms

For Super RIZIN.5, PPV sales opened at 12:00 on Monday 17 August 2026 on RIZIN 100 CLUB, RIZIN LIVE and ABEMA, with SKY PerfecTV! starting on Thursday 27 August. The sales-open date is announced per event as well.

The browser-vs-app gap

For Super RIZIN.5, ABEMA's own published price table showed the purchase route changes the price (standard ticket, tax included — all windows now closed):

Same fights, same stream, ¥600-800 apart. You can buy in a browser and still watch in the app. This is the same in-app-purchase markup that separates U-NEXT's web and app-store prices for UFC in Japan — see how to watch UFC in Japan — and it is a general pattern among Japanese streaming services rather than a quirk of one event.

Separately, the fighter "comeback support" tickets for Mikuru Asakura, Shinya Aoki, Ren Hiramoto, Yutaka Saito and YA-MAN are a higher-priced tier with extras attached. ABEMA also advertises a ¥3,500 cash cashback for new ABEMA Premium sign-ups — note that it is conditional, in ABEMA's own wording.

Next show: RIZIN LANDMARK 16 in NAGASAKI (3 October)

The next RIZIN card is Saturday 3 October 2026 — abc presents RIZIN LANDMARK 16 in NAGASAKI at Nagasaki Stadium City HAPPINESS ARENA, with doors at 12:00 and the first bout at 14:00 JST (both scheduled, per RIZIN). Ten main-card bouts and four opening fights are announced; the card is laid out in RIZIN LANDMARK 16: full card and start time.

No PPV platform or price has been announced as of 18 September 2026 — RIZIN's event page carries no broadcast/PPV section. When it lands, the platform, the price and the sales-open date usually arrive together, so the two sections below (the four platforms, and the browser-vs-app gap) still apply; only the numbers change per event.

After that comes abc presents RIZIN.55 on Sunday 8 November 2026 at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY (doors 12:00, first bout 14:00 JST, scheduled).

Watching on a television, and how to read start times

Super RIZIN.5 ran on Thursday 10 September 2026 at Kyocera Dome Osaka, doors 14:00, first bell 16:00 — the promoter moved both forward by an hour on 2 August. RIZIN's PPV table separately lists the stream as starting around 15:00, with the note to confirm on each platform. The arena start time and the stream start time are different numbers, so follow your platform's listing on the day.

For the big screen, ABEMA states it supports TVs and devices including Nintendo Switch alongside phones, PCs and tablets. SKY PerfecTV! is built around full live broadcast in high quality.

Archive rules worth knowing before you rely on them

There is catch-up, at ¥5,000 on RIZIN's table, with the RIZIN 100 CLUB archive running to 23:59 on 15 September. ABEMA sells archive tickets from 00:00 on 11 September to 21:00 on 15 September — a sales window, which is not the same thing as a viewing window.

RIZIN flags two limits up front: some music is muted in the archive (entrance themes can disappear), and that editing work may delay the archive going live — which is why the archive period is set generously. Also, rewind during the live stream is not available except on some platforms, so you cannot join late and start from the beginning.

Is any of it free?

Not the full card. ABEMA notes that some events stream only the opening bouts free, and that watching every fight live — main card included — requires a PPV ticket. Unlicensed re-streams are the wrong answer for the usual reasons: they are unauthorised, they drop mid-fight, and the pages around them are a reliable source of malware and payment scams.

From outside Japan, and what's next

Watching from abroad is a different route, through RIZIN.tv's PPV and Premium Pass with English commentary — see how to watch RIZIN from outside Japan.

LANDMARK 16 (3 October, Nagasaki) still has no PPV announcement as of 18 September 2026 — see the section above. If you would rather be in the building, our guide to buying RIZIN tickets has the ladder; the Nagasaki general sale opened at 10:00 on 30 August 2026.
