Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 comes to Los Angeles in April

The 2026 installment of Dragon Ball Games Ball Hour will land in Los Angeles in April.
The two-day event will take over the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall on April 18 and April 19. A plethora of competitors will battle each other in games such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, Dragon Ball Super Card Game Masters, Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World, and Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World Digital. On the show floor, attendees can get some casual matches in games such as Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, Dragon Ball Legends, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Dragon Ball : Sparking! Zero, and Dragon Ball Genishin Squadra. More information about confirmed competitors and tournament registration can be seen here.
Free spectator tickets for the event can be found here. All free tickets will gain a free goodie bag. If free tickets are gone before the event, walk-up spectators will still be allowed. Walk-up spectators won’t gain the goodie bag, though.
Last year’s in-person event, which was also slated to take place at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, was cancelled due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The tournament was streamed online a couple months later. Our photos from the 2024 installment of Dragon Ball Games Battle can be seen here.
