Nippon Blue Nation

About Nippon Blue Nation

Nippon Blue Nation is the US home for fans of Japan's men's national football team. Think of it the way Raiders fans think of Raider Nation: not a news outlet, not an official channel, but a fanbase. Ours just happens to stretch across an ocean.

It's run by Sam, a half-Japanese, American-born fan based in the Bay Area. Supporting Japan from the US means 4 AM kickoffs, hunting for streams that actually work here, and explaining to your friends why you're wrecked on a Tuesday morning. This site exists to make all of that easier: one place for fixtures and results, how to watch from the US, and how to actually get to a match.

Everything here is curated by hand, checked against official sources, and written by a fan, for fans. When something is unannounced or uncertain, we say so instead of guessing.

The fine print

Nippon Blue Nation is an independent fan community. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Japan Football Association (JFA), Ultras Nippon, or any official supporter group, broadcaster, or governing body. All team names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
