URL: https://www.2026wbc.jp/

  • Check daily for opening announcements
  • Bookmark in browser for easy checking

2. Follow Official Social Media

Expected Usage Flow (Based on Other Event Experience)

-> From my online research
Past official partner ticketing platforms, such as e+, lawson, ticket pia
seem to each have their own resale platforms, so they may be opened later

It's uncertain whether the resell platform to be opened by Yomiuri Shimbun mentioned in the announcement is one of these
Everyone can preview first

However, if it's this type of platform
almost all require account login
If you don't have one
you can only ask Japanese friends to help purchase...
