NJPW has announced that their upcoming New Beginning USA event will be available for fans to watch on NJPW World as a pay-per-view. The show will cost $19.99 and is not part of the streaming service's subscription.

Why it matters

This marks the event's exit from Triller, which had previously carried past NJPW USA shows. The move to NJPW World PPV will allow the company to reach a wider audience of dedicated NJPW fans.

The details

The New Beginning USA event will feature several matches, including an NJPW World TV Championship match between El Phantasmo and Konosuke Takeshita, as well as an NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship match between Tomohiro Ishii and Oleg Boltin. Other matches include Syuri vs. TBA, El Desperado vs. TBA, The Knockout Bros vs. TBA, David Finlay vs. TBA, and an appearance by Yota Tsuji.

  • The event will take place on February 27th, 2026 at 5:00pm PST.
