Rare card · No. 63916

The 2026–27 J1 League, also known as the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J1 League (Japanese: 2026/27シーズン 明治安田J1リーグ, Hepburn: 2026/27 Shīzun Meiji Yasuda J1 Rīgu) for sponsorship reasons, is the 34th season of J1 League, the top Japanese professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1992. This is the 12th season of the league since its rebrand from J.League Division 1 and the first to have encompassed two calendar years, having switched from the single-year season format. Kashima Antlers are the defending champions, having won a record-extending ninth J.League title on the last matchday of the 2025 season. It was their record-breaking ninth top flight title, their first trophy since winning the 2018 AFC Champions League, and the first league title since 2016.
