TGS 2026, the Tokyo Game Show, will take place from 17 September 2026 to 21 September 2026 in Tokyo, Japan. Bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and industry decision-makers, it has become an important meeting point for the sector. TGS 2026 is held on an annual basis. The event is expected to welcome around 263000 attendees from across the world. Proceedings are hosted at Makuhari Messe, a fitting stage for an event of this scale.

There is a reason TGS 2026 calls Tokyo home. The city offers the connectivity, venues and atmosphere that an event of this stature needs. Tokyo is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in Japan is rarely a hassle. When it comes to where to stay, Tokyo offers everything from convenient venue-side hotels to boutique options in the heart of the city. Beyond the fair, Tokyo rewards visitors with its food, culture and local landmarks. As one of Japan's key destinations, Tokyo regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

This edition puts the spotlight on Games, Computes Games, Mobile Games, Game Industry and Mobile Games Industry, with exhibitors presenting their latest collections, products and innovations across these areas. It is an efficient way to meet multiple suppliers, see products first-hand and build new trade relationships in just a few days. With 1136+ exhibitors taking part, there is no shortage of partnerships to explore. Credit for the experience goes to Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association, who organise and run the event.

Visitors leave with new contacts, supplier leads and a clearer view of where the market is heading. For manufacturers, retailers and industry buyers, TGS 2026 remains a valuable opportunity to source, connect and keep pace with the market.

Because hotels near the venue can fill up around the event dates, visitors are advised to arrange travel and accommodation in Tokyo early.
