The 2024 J.League YBC Levain Cup will be decided this Saturday when Nagoya Grampus and Albirex Niigata face off in this year’s Final at the Japan National Stadium at 13:05 JST.

All the action from Tokyo will be shown live around the world on JLeague.co, the J.League International YouTube channel, or select domestic broadcasters, with Grampus fans hoping to see their team lift their second Levain Cup in four seasons after prevailing in the 2021 edition.

The trophy cabinet in Niigata is far more barren, with Albirex yet to secure a top-level trophy of any kind. That makes this weekend’s clash all the more historic — as it was last year when Avispa Fukuoka prevailed for their first-ever piece of major silverware in a memorable Levain Cup triumph over Urawa Reds.

With history on the line, all eyes will be on Albirex’s Motoki Nagakura, whose six goals have powered Niigata to the final and have made the Swans look unstoppable at times.

Can he pick up another tally or two in a famous victory? Or will Nagoya make it a pair of Levain Cups in four years?

Don’t miss out on what promises to be an unforgettable match: Catch all the action live on JLeague.co, the J.League International YouTube channel, or your local broadcaster this Saturday at 13:05 JST!
