Kashima Antlers to launch new radio programs for home matches

Kashima Antlers will launch a new two-part radio programming initiative, ‘Bōgai Radio’, for home games at Mercari Stadium starting October 24, 2026. The initiative aims to enhance the fan experience by addressing stadium wait times and post-match traffic congestion through audio content.

The pre-match program, ‘Kyōtō Radio in Mercasta’, will feature live broadcasts from a booth near the Ball Monument two hours before kickoff. The post-match program, ‘Kyōtō Radio ~Match Review~’, will provide a rapid analysis 30 minutes after the final whistle. Both programs will be available via FM Kashima, stadium speakers, and Podcast.

The upcoming match on October 24 features Kashiwa Reysol, who currently hold 5th place in the J1 League following a recent 0-0 draw against FC Tokyo.
