The West Group Stage includes matchups like Aisin Wings vs. Mitsubishi Electric Koalas and Toyota Boshoku Sunshine Rabbits vs. Yamanashi on September 27, followed by DENSO IRIS vs. the Game 1 winner and other winners’ matchups on September 28.

Disclaimer

Jasumo provides a specialized facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, assisting with ticket acquisition for sporting events, including the Taiki Life W League United Cup 2025-26, through authorized platforms like Japan Women’s Basketball League and Ticket Pia. We are not a ticket reseller and do not sell tickets directly. Our role is to guide international customers through the official booking process, addressing challenges such as:

• Language Barriers: Japan’s ticketing systems are primarily in Japanese, posing challenges for non-Japanese speakers. Jasumo offers bilingual support to ensure a seamless booking experience.
• Access to Local Platforms: Platforms like Ticket Pia require free membership, Japanese phone numbers, or specific payment methods. Jasumo assists with navigation and international payment options where available.
• High Demand and Limited Availability: With venue capacities at approximately 2,000–4,002 and the tournament’s season-opening significance, securing premium seats like courtside is highly competitive. Jasumo helps manage sales deadlines and accessibility requests to maximize your chances.

Due to high demand and limited availability, securing tickets is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued in the event of game cancellation. We strongly recommend booking by September 10, 2025, for Tokyo or September 15, 2025, for Aichi to access official prices of ¥1,100–¥8,800 and avoid inflated resale prices, such as ¥9,500. Official resale options are available approximately 5 days prior to each match day, and Jasumo can assist with monitoring these opportunities.
