Super Junior Tag League

Uncommon card · No. 125535

The Super Junior Tag League is a professional wrestling tag team tournament held by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Established in 2010, but preceded by the G1 Climax Junior Heavyweight Tag League in 2001 (won by El Samurai and Jushin Thunder Liger), it is the junior heavyweight equivalent of the World Tag League for heavyweight tag teams. From 2010 to 2017, it was named the Super Junior Tag Tournament and followed a single-elimination format, before becoming the Super Junior Tag League in 2018, switching to a round-robin format. Since the tournament's inception, there were two years where the tournament did not take place—in 2011 and 2020 (due to major changes to NJPW's schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic). The winning team traditionally earns the right to challenge for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship at the following year's Wrestle Kingdom, assuming the team does not hold the title at the time of their victory.
