SUMO: September 2026 tourney in Japan has just started! (see this post for how to follow it)
(media.piefed.social)
Day 2 of the July sumo tournament in Japan finished a couple of hours ago! The tourney lasts for 15 days, so this is a great time to start watching!
Video Clips:
-
youtuber DonDon makes a daily video of ALL matches in the top Makuuchi tier, as well as a video of the second-rank Juryo tier, listed in English with replays including on-screen English analysis (posted around 6am EST): https://www.youtube.com/@dondonsumo2/videos DonDon also posts "Top 10" highlights here: https://www.youtube.com/@dondonsumohighlights
-
Broadcaster NHK makes a daily video that has all the top-tier Makuuchi bouts with English spoken commentary: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/@NHKWORLDJAPAN/videos These are usually delayed by a day, but are a great intro.

NHK immediately posts individual videos of each top-tier bout listed in Japanese with Japanese commentary.

They are re-doing their Japanese website. I THINK that to see the latest videos on the NHK site in Japanese, you look here: https://www.nhk.jp/g/ts/Z8WRRJ9K96/blog/bl/pm1VNbJpWQ/bp/pExrRxao2y/ and click on the topmost link that says "NHK ONE", it should look like this:
Click "I understand" to acknowledge that you're not in Japan (lel) and then scroll down til you see this button:
it might look like this:
click on that and you should see all the videos?!
For the listings in Japanese, try automated translations if there's a lot of text. Alternately, look for something like: 9月14日 which in this case refers to the 9th month and the 14th day (September 14th). Automated translation doesn't work that well on sumotori names, but this is a great opportunity to learn them by sight! (The JSA web site has pictures of them all.)

Live / Replay:
- try searching on twitch, there are usually at least 3 different streamers providing live video feeds with English commentary, and it's fun to have a community to chat with in real time. The top Makuuchi matches start around 3am US Eastern Time though. At least one of the streamers does replays all day, usually of the entire day (including lower ranks).
