The SMBC Japan Series 2026 opens at Yokohama Stadium on October 24, 2026, at 18:30 Japan Standard Time. If you are planning around the November 1 (Japan) Game 7 listing, treat it as a scheduled game date, not a fixed finish: four wins end the series, while rain or ties could extend it.

Match the game to the time and service

The Yokohama DeNA BayStars face the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks for Japan's professional baseball championship. Based on NPB's October 20, 2026 announcement, Games 1 and 6 start at 18:30; the other scheduled games start at 18:00, all Japan Standard Time.

Plan for Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 in Yokohama and Games 3, 4 and 5 in Fukuoka. For online coverage, U-NEXT lists Games 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7, Hulu lists Game 4, and ABEMA lists Game 5. TVer appears for every scheduled game, subject to Japan-only access.

Japan Series viewing details in one place

In the original article on Injoys, you can compare each game's date, stadium and Japanese broadcasters in tables. Separate recorded-broadcast listings give actual calendar dates for late-night slots, making it easier to avoid setting aside an evening for a replay.

A short check before choosing a service

Start with the game number, then match its service and check the service's information for that game. NPB's coverage list does not establish prices or subscription requirements, so a listed service does not by itself mean free viewing.

Keep first pitch separate from the program start. For Game 1 on October 24, 2026 (Japan), TBS lists coverage from 18:11, before the 18:30 game; its broadcast time may change.

Check access outside Japan

If you will watch outside Japan, confirm regional access with U-NEXT, Hulu or ABEMA before relying on their listings. TVer supports viewing only within Japan and excludes VPN viewing from supported uses. The Japanese coverage announcement alone does not establish an official broadcaster in Korea.

Common viewing questions

Does NHK-BS show the whole series?

No. NPB lists NHK-BS for Games 2 and 3 only.

Are TBS Channel's late-night games live?

No. The listed TBS Channel programs are recorded broadcasts. TBS Channel is a paid CS television broadcaster, separate from the TBS listing in NPB's coverage schedule.

Do the start times change for South Korea?

No. Japan and South Korea both use UTC+9, so 18:30 in Japan is 18:30 on the same day in South Korea.

Before setting a viewing reminder, check NPB's official tournament page for schedule changes.

Bitcoin Rally Claims Reviewed: U.S. Liquidity, Stablecoins, Reserves and Mining

Image
If you are weighing claims that $3 trillion to $6 trillion of U.S. liquidity, a government Bitcoin reserve, or 24-hour stablecoin payments will trigger a Bitcoin rally, you need to separate policy changes from price predictions. The original article on Injoys reviews each claim and shows you where the evidence is strong, incomplete, or overstated. Why easier bank rules are not money printing You first get a clear explanation of the supplementary leverage ratio, or SLR. This rule requires large banks to maintain core capital relative to their total leverage exposure, which can include U.S. Treasuries and central-bank reserves. Recent easing may give banks more capacity to intermediate Treasuries and participate in repo markets. However, you should not treat that capacity as actual lending, asset purchases, or quantitative easing. QE involves Federal Reserve asset purchases and expansion of its balance sheet. The article therefore finds insufficient evidence that SLR reform will auto...

Medicare Coverage 2027: When to Change Plans

Annual enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7, 2026, with coverage starting January 1, 2027.   Compare costs for the care already needed You can view 2027 plan information starting October 1, 2026, but annual enrollment starts October 15.

Daedong Law 1651: Chungcheong Reform and Kim Yuk's Role

Image
If you are checking Chungcheong's tax rate in 1651, the answer is 10 du of rice annually per 1 gyeol of land, not the later rate of 12 du. The Hoseo Daedong Law collected 5 du in spring and 5 du in autumn. Kim Yuk's repeated proposals helped secure implementation in Chungcheong first. What changed in the tribute burden Instead of obtaining assigned tribute goods, obligations were assessed by land measured in gyeol. Revenue covered local expenses before the remainder went to the central government. This explains why the reform concerned both tax collection and spending: replacing tribute goods alone would not resolve additional collections for local costs. Historical painting of Joseon officials reviewing documents at low desks in a palace hall overlooking a courtyard Follow the Daedong Law through the records In the original article on Injoys, you can compare the tribute systems and follow a timeline of regional expansion. It distinguishes the initial rate from later rule...
