NTT Docomo Launches Campaign for J-League's 2026/27 Season
As the J-League prepares to kick off its 2026/27 season, NTT Docomo has announced a vibrant new campaign to celebrate the occasion. Beginning July 31, 2026, the campaign will allow fans to actively support their favorite clubs while enjoying newly designed player-themed merchandise. This initiative has already seen a remarkable achievement, with over 100 million yen contributed to supporting clubs, demonstrating the power of community engagement in sports.
Welcome to the 'Oshij' Campaign
The cornerstone of this initiative is the 'Oshij' campaign, where fans can show their support through everyday purchases. Since its inception in May 2025, the 'Oshij' effort has surpassed the milestone of 100 million yen in aid to J-League clubs, allowing fans to connect with their teams in meaningful ways. For the 2026/27 season, fans will have the opportunity to choose custom merchandise featuring new season uniforms worn by their favorite players.
The first wave of new designs will include six clubs—Shimizu S-Pulse, Nagoya Grampus, Gamba Osaka, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Jubilo Iwata, and FC Gifu—launching on August 3, 2026. Additional teams will follow soon after, making it an exciting time for supporters.
