Inazuma Eleven is a very popular series all about football, created by LEVEL5. It started in 2008 and has expanded into video games, comics, animated TV shows, and movies. The latest installment is Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, which you can play on computers and gaming consoles.

The game developers are holding a closed beta test from January 29th to February 5th, 2026, to get feedback and refine the game before it officially launches. You can sign up now through January 22nd, 2026, by filling out the application form on our website.

We’ll be choosing 20,000 players, and if we get more applications than spots available, we’ll use a lottery to select participants. To join, you’ll need an iPhone 13 or newer running iOS 16 or later, or a 64-bit Android device running Android 10 or later, and both types of devices need at least 4GB of memory.

We don’t have a confirmed release date or know when it will be available worldwide just yet. Expect more details in the next few months, and be sure to check the official website for the latest news.
