My Hero Academia's Ultra Expo lands April 2027
The anime's tenth-anniversary finale is a two-day expo at Makuhari Messe on 17 and 18 April 2027, with programme and ticket details promised for early October.
The My Hero Academia anime is getting the biggest send-off in its history. The production committee announced on 20 September that MHA Ultra Expo, the event closing out the anime's tenth-anniversary project, will run across two days at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, with Day 1 on 17 April 2027 and Day 2 on 18 April 2027.
The stage programme takes over the venue's Event Hall while the exhibition spills into Halls 2 and 3, the same sprawling complex that hosts Jump Festa every winter. The event site describes it as the largest-scale My Hero Academia gathering yet and frames it as a thank-you to fans, which is the usual language for a franchise that has finished telling its main story and now wants to celebrate the audience that stayed to the end.
What we know about tickets and the line-up
Almost nothing, and that is deliberate. Programme contents, performers and ticket information will all be announced in early October 2026, so there is nothing on sale in the meantime and no overseas ticketing, streaming or satellite arrangement has been announced. The event's own website and X account have opened in the run-up to that reveal, which is where the details will land first.
The tenth-anniversary project has been running through 2026, a decade after the adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi's manga first aired in April 2016. Japan-only events of this size rarely travel, and the honest expectation for anyone outside the country is a merchandise line and a livestream at best.
Our opinion
Two days at Makuhari Messe is a statement of confidence in a series whose anime has already ended, and it tells you where the franchise's commercial centre of gravity now sits. Films, spin-offs and events can keep a property in public view for years, but a tenth-anniversary expo is the moment a series stops being a weekly appointment and becomes a thing people plan holidays around. My Hero Academia has spent a decade building enough goodwill to carry that, and the audience will decide in April whether the goodwill converts into attendance.
The risk is arithmetic. Expos of this shape are sold on the promise of things not yet announced, and the early-October reveal is doing an enormous amount of the work for a venue with halls this size. The worthwhile measure of MHA Ultra Expo will not be the guest list or the merch hall; it will be whether the production committee uses a stage this big for anything more than a victory lap.
