The One Piece Card Game World Championship (often referred to on the official site as the season’s “World Final”) is the capstone event in Bandai’s Championship circuit, where the best performers from each region meet to crown the “Card Game Pirate King.”

Championship 2025 World Finals start time

Bandai lists the event window as March 14–15, 2026, and separately lists the stream start as March 15, 2026 from 4:00 PM JST (time can change). 

• Go to the official stream link and watch on YouTube.
• Don’t plan on walking in: Bandai says there’s no onsite viewing.
• If you care most about the headline matches, Bandai streams the 3rd Place Match and the Grand Final of the ONE PIECE Card Game World Final live with English commentary!

One detail stays unknown right now: Bandai does not list a public venue (and says the venue won’t be open anyway), so treat “where in Japan” as unspecified until Bandai posts it. 

How the Championship 2026-2027 circuit works

Bandai runs a multi-step yearly circuit. The clearest “map” sits on the Championship 26–27 page, where Bandai literally labels Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3 and explains what each step does. 

Here’s the flow in plain language:

• Level one: Regionals (Season one and Season two)
  Bandai states Season one runs March–July and Season two runs August–December (for 26–27). North America and Europe also have Store Championships as part of this stage.
• Level two: Area Finals / Finals at the end of each season
  Bandai says top performers advance into Finals events and winners advance to the season-ending Finals.
• Level three: the season-ending Finals in Japan
  Bandai labels this as the point where the top players meet to crown the Card Game Pirate King.
