J1 League 2026 Simulator

The J1 League is the top division of professional football in Japan. It brings together 20 clubs that play a double round-robin of 38 matchdays, with 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw. Unlike European leagues, it runs on a calendar-year schedule, roughly from February to December, and the 2026 season is played under the J.League's "100 Year Vision" branding. The top clubs qualify for the AFC Champions League Elite, while the bottom three are relegated to the J2 League.

With our simulator you can experience all the drama of the title race. The table is computed in real time from the calendar's real results: enter the scores of the remaining fixtures yourself, or let the auto-simulation fill them in instantly. Every result recalculates the standings, the Asian Champions League places and the relegation zone on the spot. It is completely free and requires no signup, so you can test as many scenarios as you like with historic clubs such as Kashima Antlers, Urawa Red Diamonds, Yokohama F. Marinos, Vissel Kobe, Kawasaki Frontale or Gamba Osaka.
