Japan's basketball dynasty

Alvark Tokyo, backed by Toyota, is B.League's most decorated team with multiple championships. They play a disciplined, defense-first style that basketball purists love. Their roster consistently features Japan national team players.

Why watch Alvark

Defensive masterclass

Alvark's signature is suffocating team defense. Watching their organized rotations and help defense is a clinic in basketball IQ — especially rewarding for knowledgeable fans.

International competition

Alvark competes in the EASL (East Asia Super League), facing top clubs from Korea, China, and the Philippines. Catch an international matchup for a unique experience.

Yoyogi National Gymnasium

Designed by legendary architect Kenzo Tange for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, this 13,000-seat venue is an architectural masterpiece. Watching basketball in a building with Olympic history adds a special dimension. Just 5 minutes walk from JR Harajuku Station.

New home: TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO

Starting from the 2025-26 season, Alvark is moving to the brand-new TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO in Koto Ward — expect cutting-edge facilities and an even better game-day experience.

How to buy tickets

Available through the Alvark Tokyo official website and B.LEAGUE ticket platform. Big matchups against Chiba Jets and Utsunomiya Brex sell out quickly.
