Tokyo Game Show will expand to a five-day schedule for 2026 as the long-running expo celebrates its 30th anniversary. The event is set to take place at Makuhari Messe in Chiba from 17 September through 21 September, with the closing day coinciding with a public holiday in Japan.

  • When and where: 17–21 September 2026 at Makuhari Messe, Chiba.
  • Milestone year: The show marks three decades since its debut, prompting an extended run to commemorate the anniversary.
  • Longer schedule: Expanding to five full days gives organisers room for more showcases, demos and special programming tied to the celebration.
  • Holiday boost: The final day falls on a national holiday, which could increase attendance and make the extended schedule more accessible to fans and industry visitors.
  • What to expect next: Further details on exhibitors, ticketing and official programming are likely to be announced as the date approaches—publishers and developers typically reveal plans in the lead-up to the show.
