ONE is proud to begin our partnership with U-NEXT. U-NEXT is one of the most popular live sports content platforms in Japan. Through last month’s ONE Japan Tournament, I was once once more able to feel the deep passion that Japanese fans have for martial arts. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved in this partnership with U-NEXT, and look forward to continuing to provide world-class martial arts action to all Japanese fans.
■U-NEXT Representative Director and President Tsutsumi Tenshin

U-NEXT hopes to be a platform that supports and delivers to everyone the challenges of athletes who aim to explore their potential and reach the world stage with the utmost respect. At ONE Championship, where many Japanese fighters aim to compete on the world stage, we will not only broadcast matches in real time, but also carefully delve into the athletes’ stories and backgrounds. We will be working closely with ONE Championship, so please look forward to it.
