ONE PIECE DAY ’26 has revealed its full livestream schedule ahead of this month’s annual celebration, with fans around the world able to see major announcements, anime panels, live performances, and the results of the second global WORLD TOP 100 character popularity poll live on YouTube. The two-day event will take place at Makuhari Messe in Japan on August 22 and 23.

Organized by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Shueisha, and Toei Animation, ONE PIECE DAY always brings announcements related to the manga, anime, games, music, merchandise, and the ONE PIECE Card Game.
