The J1 100 Year Vision League, also known as the Meiji Yasuda J1 100 Year Vision League (Japanese: 明治安田J1百年構想リーグ, Hepburn: Meiji Yasuda J1 Hyakunen Kōsō Rīgu), was a one-off football tournament organised by the Japan Professional Football League, held from 6 February to 7 June 2026 and featuring all 20 J1 League clubs. A similar tournament was held for J2 and J3 League clubs.[1][2][3]

Overview

[edit]

As the Japan Professional Football League (J.League) transitions to an "autumn-spring system" in 2026, the J.League 100 Year Vision League was held as a special tournament in the interim. Meiji Yasuda Life, the league's title partner through the end of 2026,[4] also serves as the title partner of this tournament.[5]

Although this tournament was a league competition organized by the J.League, there was no relegation to the J2 League.

The two finalists qualified to the 2026–27 AFC Champions League Elite league stage.[6][7][a]

Format

[edit]
Regional round (6 February – 23 May)

The 20 teams competing in the 2026–27 J1 League—the top 17 teams from the 2025 J1 League as well as three promoted sides from the 2025 J2 League—are divided into regions East and West, consists of 10 teams each. Each team play a double round-robin home and away format within their region. Clubs from the same prefecture are grouped together. In addition, the number of clubs playing in snowy regions, where home games cannot be played in February and March was also taken into consideration. If a match ended in a draw within 90 minutes, a penalty shoot-out is played to decide the winners. For this tournament, the usual points system is retained, but the winners of the shoot-out receive two points and the losers receive one point.

The East region consists of 10 clubs based within the Greater Tokyo Area, while the West region consists of 10 teams based outside of the capital and its surrounding metropolitan area.

Playoff round (30 May – 7 June)

Teams with the same final rank in each region will play home and away matches against each other to determine the overall final ranking (for example, matches between first-placed teams will decide the overall champions and runners-up, matches between second-placed teams will decide overall third and fourth place). The first leg will be played on 30 and 31 May, and the second leg will be held on 6 and 7 June.[3] Based on the final standings of the 2025 season, the teams from the East region will host the second leg in each matchup.

If the winners on aggregate cannot be determined after the two legs of 90 minutes, two 15-minute periods of extra time will be played; if the winners is still not decided after extra time, a penalty shoot-out will be played.

Prize money

The top three teams at the end of the tournament will receive the prize money of JPY 150 million for the winners, JPY 60 million for runners-up, and JPY 30 million for the third place. During the regional round, each point is worth JPY 2 million. All teams will also receive additional fees based on their competition ranking and popularity ranking.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ↑ According to the AFC entry regulations, the Champions League Two winners, which was Gamba Osaka, if they have not already qualified through their domestic performance, will obtain the lowest slot in their country for the Champions League Elite. In addition, Japan's 4th qualification slot for the Champions League Elite receives a bye to the league stage due to an insufficient number of participating teams.
