It’s a brand new season of Japanese football…
And this year, an all-new champion will be leading the way…
Welcome to the 26th edition of the J-League.
Last year, the J-League came to a dramatic conclusion…
As three-time runners-up Kawasaki Frontale claimed their maiden J1 crown in the final round of the season…
Toru Oniki’s men snatched the silverware from right under Kashima Antler’s noses, following a five nil thumping of Omiya Ardija…

Last year’s J2 champions Shonan Bellmare join play-off winners, and former J1 champions Nagoya Grampus in a return to the top flight… while J2 runners-up V-Varen Nagasaki hit the big time for the first time in their history.
