On June 13, 2026, the Panasonic Impulse will hold their first American football game at Panasonic Stadium Suita. The team, part of the X League Premier, will face the SEKISUI Challengers to celebrate the stadium's 10th anniversary. The event, dubbed 'Panasonic Multi-Sports Day,' will feature interactive sessions with celebrities like Hiroshi Tamura and athletes from Osaka Bluteon, aiming to promote sports and enhance team value.

The Panasonic Impulse, an American football team under Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd., will host a game against the SEKISUI Challengers on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Panasonic Stadium Suita, the home ground of Gamba Osaka. Panasonic Stadium Suita has been operating as Gamba Osaka's home stadium since the 2016 season and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025. This marks the first time an American football game will be held at this stadium. With the launch of the 'X League Premier,' a new stage for the adult American football league, in May 2026, hosting this game is seen as a significant step toward strengthening the appeal of American football, improving the spectator experience, and increasing the value of both the team and the league. Additionally, 'Panasonic Multi-Sports Day' will be held on the day of the match. Guests including comedian Hiroshi Tamura, former Japan national volleyball player and current Osaka Bluteon member Kunihiro Shimizu, and Kotaro Kinada, along with active players and alumni from the Panasonic baseball team, will participate in pre-match sports experience sessions. Through this event, the team aims to promote various sports with the Panasonic Impulse at the center. Event details include a talk session and sports experience sessions from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the plaza outside the stadium. Attendees will also have a chance to win prizes during a halftime raffle. Admission is free by using the coupon code 'impulse0613' on the X League ticket information page. Risuke Kuwata, who appeared at the first-pitch ceremony during the professional baseball interleague game at Hanshin Koshien Stadium on May 27, 2026, is also scheduled to play. The Panasonic Impulse aims to provide inspiration and vitality through American football while contributing to social development by fostering top-tier professionals. Having achieved back-to-back national championships in the 2024 and 2025 seasons, the team is aiming for a third consecutive title in 2026.
