About this event
NPB published the full schedule for the 2026 series: Games 1 and 2 at Yokohama Stadium on 24 and 25 October, Games 3 to 5 at Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka on 27 to 29 October, then Games 6 and 7 back in Yokohama on 31 October and 1 November if required. The series ends as soon as one team reaches four wins, so only a deciding Game 7 on 1 November falls inside the November 2026 window.
