- Crunchyroll detailed the worldwide streaming plans on August 3, 2026.

The official Crunchyroll News page confirms international access. The event’s official website lists the dates, stages and music program. Viewing times, subtitles and the exact streaming arrangements should be checked before the broadcast.
Two days of programming from Makuhari Messe
Premiere Eve will take place on Saturday, August 22, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Japan time. The worldwide vote stage will follow from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
On Sunday, August 23, the event will run from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Makuhari Messe. Worldwide streaming extends access to the main stages for fans outside Japan, although French viewing times and subtitle availability still need to be checked on Crunchyroll’s page.
Elbaph, WORLD TOP 100 and the SPECIAL LIVE
The announced program covers the anime, manga, card game and music. A special stage dedicated to Elbaph will bring together Mayumi Tanaka, Kazuya Nakai, Akemi Okamura, Kappei Yamaguchi and Hiroaki Hirata.
The WORLD TOP 100 ranking will be revealed in two stages: positions 100 to 31 on August 22, then positions 30 to 1 on August 23.
The SPECIAL LIVE will feature Aina the End, Jikoku 36 km, Hiroshi Kitadani and Maki Otsuki. The lineup places franchise announcements alongside live musical performances.
The latest announcements are available through our latest news. news section and selection of gaming articles can also help track information published after the event.
A convention designed to reach fans beyond Japan
ONE PIECE DAY’26 remains a Japanese convention built around themed stages, exhibitions and a concert. Worldwide streaming adds a remote access point for international viewers, but it does not turn the entire Makuhari Messe experience into a digital event.
The comparison with a Nintendo Direct is limited. A video game showcase often focuses on announcements, whereas ONE PIECE DAY’26 combines voting, anime, music and an on-site experience. The confirmed format is a broader franchise celebration spread across several stages.
For French fans, the practical benefit is clear: the WORLD TOP 100 results, Elbaph-related announcements and the SPECIAL LIVE can be followed remotely. The exact feed, local times and available subtitles still require confirmation on the official pages.
Streaming does not replace the venue
A ticket covers physical access to Makuhari Messe. It should not be confused with the digital access announced for international fans.
The official communication separates the on-site experience from worldwide streaming. Exhibitions and some convention elements will remain tied to the Japanese venue, while the streamed stages will provide access to the main highlights announced online.
French viewing times and detailed arrangements should be checked on Crunchyroll’s official page, Crunchyroll’s official page and official ONE PIECE DAY’26 website before the programs begin.
What viewers still need to check
- What exact times will be displayed for France?
- Will the stages be available through a single feed?
- Will French subtitles be available?
The dates and general content are confirmed: ONE PIECE DAY’26 will take place on August 22 and 23, 2026, with worldwide streaming announced by Crunchyroll. WORLD TOP 100, the Elbaph stage and the SPECIAL LIVE are the main confirmed highlights.
