Since its launch in 2016, ABEMA has aimed to be a "social infrastructure that connects anytime, anywhere" by providing a wide range of content, including variety shows, original dramas, and diverse sports content, all available for free viewing. To express gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the past decade, the "ABEMA 10th Anniversary Free Grand Thanksgiving Festival" will feature a free invitation event, following the first installment, the "Abema THANK YOU Sakaba (Shibuya Yokocho)," allowing attendees to experience the excitement of sports firsthand.
Under the theme "To the National Stadium with ABEMA," this project will invite 10,000 people to a major match between FC Machida Zelvia and Urawa Reds, currently competing fiercely in the Meiji Yasuda J1 League. Applications are open to everyone, not just fans and supporters of both clubs, but also those who have never been to a stadium before or are watching soccer for the first time.
Additionally, coinciding with the announcement of this project, ABEMA's official X account (@ABEMA) will launch a giveaway campaign today, offering 100 pairs of invitations to "special seats with immersive views" where participants can experience the thrilling plays up close.
To bring the excitement to those who cannot attend the stadium on match day, a free live broadcast of the match will be available on "ABEMA de DAZN." We aim to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone, whether they are at the venue or watching from home. Information regarding special guest appearances and related events to liven up the halftime, pre-game, and post-game will be announced at a later date.
ABEMA will continue to roll out various campaigns for everyone's enjoyment. As ABEMA approaches its 10th anniversary in 2026, we will continue to strive for program production and operation that exceeds viewer expectations, while also working to create an environment where users can easily enjoy "highest quality" content anytime, anywhere, based on free broadcasting, thereby enhancing our value as social infrastructure.
