Just in time for the start of the new J.League season, the JTET team finish off their big J2 season preview by looking at the other 10 clubs who will be taking part in the second tier in 2026/27.

James and Jon analyze 8 teams, and we are grateful to special guests Tom (Sapporo) and Leslie Mabon (Iwaki) for their contributions on their clubs.

Before the boys depart, they take a quick look at the opening weekend of J2 fixtures, and pick out the games that they are most excited about.

We hope everyone enjoys the show, and sticks with us for the season ahead!

*These are the questions that we asked Tom and Leslie to cover in their previews:

1) How would you sum up your club's performance in the 100 Year Vision League?

2) What have been the big transfers at your club (in and out) since the end of the 100 YVL?

3) How do you feel about your club's prospects for 2026/27 (head and heart)?

4) Is there anything else you'd like to mention ahead of the new season?
