My Hero Academia has announced one of the biggest events in the anime's history. The My Hero Academia Ultra Expo will take place on April 17 and 18, 2027, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. The announcement was made on September 20 as part of the anime's ongoing 10th anniversary celebration.
The event is being positioned as the finale of the My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary project. According to the official event announcement, Ultra Expo will use the Makuhari Messe Event Hall as well as Exhibition Halls 2 and 3, creating a much larger footprint than a conventional promotional stage event.
Why the announcement is getting attention
My Hero Academia reached its television-anime 10th anniversary in 2026, making the new event a celebration of a decade of animated content. The anniversary project began earlier in the year and has included multiple special initiatives. Ultra Expo is now set to serve as its closing event, giving fans a major gathering to mark the end of the anniversary campaign.
ORICON describes it as the largest event in the anime's history. The official announcement also frames the event as a thank-you to fans who have supported the series.
What will happen at Ultra Expo?
At the moment, the organizers have confirmed the dates and venue but have not published the complete program. The official site says details about the event content, performers and ticket information are scheduled to be announced in early October.
That leaves plenty of room for announcements around stage appearances, exhibitions, merchandise and anniversary programming. The use of both an event hall and exhibition halls suggests that the celebration will include more than a single stage presentation, although the exact format has not yet been confirmed.
Why Makuhari Messe matters
Makuhari Messe is already familiar territory for major Japanese pop-culture events. The venue has hosted large anime and manga gatherings, including Jump Festa-related activities. For My Hero Academia, using several halls gives the anniversary finale a physical scale that matches the size of the franchise's decade-long run.
What fans should watch next
The next important date is early October, when organizers are expected to reveal more information. Fans should look for the stage schedule, guest lineup, ticketing process and exhibition details before making travel plans.
For now, the confirmed facts are straightforward: My Hero Academia Ultra Expo will run for two days, April 17 and 18, 2027, at Makuhari Messe, and it will close the anime's 10th anniversary project. The event's full contents remain to be announced.
With the series having reached its tenth year on television, Ultra Expo gives My Hero Academia a large-scale way to bring its anime community together and mark the franchise's animated history.
