Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 is only three weeks away, and to hype up the event, Bandai Namco has released a new trailer as a preview of what’s to come. The annual Dragon Ball event will have more eyes on it than ever before, with multiple game updates and the return of the Dragon Ball Super anime on the horizon.
As shown in the trailer, Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 will be held from April 18 to April 19 at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California, and tickets are still available now. The event will feature tournaments and new merchandise on-site, and it will bring major news and updates for Dragon Ball FighterZ, Dragon Ball Sparking ZERO, Dragon Ball Legends, Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, and DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA.
This year’s show is set to be the biggest yet with a Dragon Ball Super Special Panel set for 1:15 p.m. PDT on April 19, followed by Battle Hour Times at 1:35 p.m. PDT.

Further, Bandai Namco has announced Dragon Ball New Game Project AGE 1000, a new game set for release in 2027.
