Next UFC to watch in Tokyo
EMMETT vs VALLEJOS UFC Fight Night Saturday 14th March 2026 in Las Vegas USA. Fight time in Cairns starts from 10am Sunday 15th March 2026.
Time Difference & Schedule
Tokyo (JST, UTC+9) is 13-17 hours ahead of US venues:
- Typical Fight Night prelims: ~8-10am Sunday.
- Main card: ~12pm-noon Sunday.
- PPVs: Similar daytime Sunday slots. Many bars open for noon starts; big cards draw crowds.
Watching in Bars & Pubs
UFC isn’t as mainstream as baseball or soccer in Japan, but expat-heavy areas like Roppongi, Shibuya, Ginza, and Shinjuku have reliable sports bars screening events (especially PPVs/Fight Nights with Japanese fighters). Always call/message ahead (via Instagram/Facebook/website) to confirm—they often accommodate requests but may charge cover for PPVs.

Tips for Bars:

I think Two Dogs is where you want to watch. Many places show crack streams, or in Japanese.
Two Dogs has 3 x 60″ TVs and a large projector. Their food is also great. Woof fired oven Pizzas, and great wings. Also you get to drink Craft beer pints, with the 2 drink tickets (entrance: ¥2000 with 2 tickets). No one else offers that.

I recommend Two Dogs Taproom in Roppongi as well.
Some places use crack streams.
Two Dogs’ pizza and wings are very good.
