Good to know

OFFICIAL: tournament dates (2027-03-14 to 03-28) confirmed on sumo.pia.jp. General sale: the Japanese top page shows 2027-02-06 (Sat), while the English page prints 'Sat. Feb. 8th, 2027'; 2027-02-08 is a Monday, so 2027-02-06 (the actual Saturday) is treated as correct and the English text as a typo; verify when the dedicated page opens. ESTIMATED: Ticket Oosumo lottery approx Wed 2027-01-27 to Sun 2027-01-31, results ~Tue 2027-02-02, per the standard pattern (window ~10 days before general sale). Fan Club rounds expected mid-January 2027.
