Jump Festa 2026 will return to Chiba’s Makuhari Messe on December 20–21, 2025, bringing fans two days of packed programming, expanded attractions, and some of the biggest names in anime and manga. Organised annually by Shueisha, the event remains the largest showcase for Weekly Shonen Jump and related publications, offering exclusive announcements, previews, and live performances.
This year’s edition comes with several upgrades. The venue will cover Exhibition Halls 1 through 10, a 1.5-times increase compared to last year, making space for larger crowds and more interactive booths. Alongside the expanded area, a brand-new stage named “Jump Station” will join the established Jump Super Stage and Jump Studio, creating three distinct platforms for fans to enjoy.
