Step into a world of ancient rituals, extraordinary strength, and rich tradition as Sumo wrestling, one of the world’s oldest sports, returns to the Royal Albert Hall. For five days, the Hall will transform into a temple of Sumo, complete with an authentic soil and sand dohyō (ring) and a roof reminiscent of a Shinto shrine. 

Over 40 of Japan’s elite maku-uchi rikishi (wrestlers) will compete, bringing with them the 1,500-year legacy of Sumo. Each match is a captivating spectacle, combining explosive athleticism with ceremonial splendour. From the vibrant, hand-embroidered silk kesho-mawashi robes to the ancient salt-throwing rituals, every element is steeped in history and culture.  

Witness the battle of power, endurance and strategy as these great athletes showcase techniques honed over centuries. Who will prevail against the champion Yokozuna? Which of the 82 winning moves will be used? No one knows how the tournament (basho) will unfold, but every step, bow, and clash is a rare opportunity to experience one of the most extraordinary spectacles in sport.  

Don’t miss your chance to sit ringside and immerse yourself in the grandeur and power of Sumo wrestling, an unforgettable celebration of tradition and athleticism.
