With qualifying now over, the full schedule for NJPW G1 Climax 36 is now locked in.

Ryohei Oiwa and OSKAR won play-in matches on Monday to become the final wrestlers to qualify for this year’s G1. The round-robin tournament will feature 20 participants in total, divided equally between A Block and B Block. In addition to bragging rights, the winner (if it’s not current champion Yota Tsuji) earns a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight title.

The first night of the G1 will be held in Chicago this weekend, with the remaining dates then taking place in Japan. Nineteen shows in total are happening from July 11 to August 16. Sumo Hall in Tokyo will host the semifinals and finals the last two nights.
