At the centre of the card is the -90kg World Championship Tournament, an eight-man one-day bracket to crown the top cruiserweight striker in K-1, alongside several title fights including a Super Bantamweight Championship bout between Akihiro Kaneko and Rui Okubo.
For fans in North and South America, Western Europe, and much of the Asia-Pacific region, ABEMA Live is the core platform. The global ABEMA stream for K-1 WORLD GP 2026 is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026 (JST), and is accessible via the official event link on ABEMA Global. According to K-1’s broadcast announcement, ABEMA’s coverage is available in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand. Fans in these territories can watch live in Japanese time, so checking local time zone conversion in advance is recommended.
Viewers in the Caucasus regions have a dedicated option in UdarTV. The same February 8 (JST) live date applies, with access through UdarTV’s official link. K-1 lists Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan as eligible countries for this broadcast, giving kickboxing fans in Eastern Europe and Central Asia a consistent home for the show.
In Oceania, K-1 has partnered with Combat Sports Network (CSN), described as the largest combat sports network in the region. CSN will carry the February 8 broadcast for audiences in Australia and New Zealand via its official website. While ABEMA is also listed for these two markets, CSN offers a more traditional combat sports hub for local viewers and may be preferable for fans who already use the service.
Several territories in Europe have country-specific solutions. In Romania, the event will air on ProTV’s official streaming platform VOYO, again on the February 8 (JST) schedule, with access through the VOYO site. Polish fans can follow K-1 WORLD GP 2026 on Fight Klub, which is available via Canal+ on cable or satellite and through the Canal+ Online app. Italy is slightly different: DAZN Italy will carry the event on a delayed basis sometime in February 2026, with K-1 noting that it will not be a live broadcast and directing viewers to DAZN’s Italian service.
For fight fans living in regions not covered by any of the named broadcasters including the Netherlands, StreamTicket is the fallback. K-1 has designated StreamTicket as the global pay-per-view provider for all other countries and regions, with a February 8 (JST) live stream available via the platform’s event page. This setup ensures that if your territory is not listed under ABEMA, UdarTV, CSN, VOYO, Fight Klub, or DAZN Italy, you can still purchase digital access and watch live online.
Additional event details, including full bout order and local information, are hosted on K-1’s official schedule page for the Yoyogi National Stadium Second Gymnasium card. K-1 describes K-1 WORLD GP as a global striking organization with 14 men’s and women’s weight classes, placing emphasis on championship bouts and one-night tournaments as the main pillars of its format. With this broadcast rollout, the promotion states that “K-1 is fully back globally,” underlining the aim to make K-1 WORLD GP 2026 accessible in real time to fans around the world.
