Oregon Ducks have a huge following in the United States. However, the fact that Oregon has a huge fanbase in Japan would be relatively unknown to many.

Over there, they are known as the Japan Ducks. They are the University of Oregon’s largest alumni group outside the United States.

Speaking of the Ducks, they have been looking to go international with their brand for quite a while. This is exactly why Oregon Ducks is scheduled for an upcoming showcase in Tokyo from June 25-27, 2026.

The event will be presented by Flight Club. This is also being looked at as a historic partnership between Oregon, the Japan Gridiron Association, and Flight Club.

The Japan Ducks happen to be the University of Oregon’s largest alumni group outside the United States. It is one of the few countries that is equipped and has high school, college, and pro-level football.

It has a rich legacy of the game going back a 100 years. Recently in fact 7-on-7 competitions are coming up. Oregon QB Dante Moore is expected to teach American football to Japanese students at The American School in Japan on June 27.

This would be big for the huge Oregon fanbase in Japan. The Japan Gridiron Association co-founder Tyler Moore also feels this moment will be historical.

Oregon's Upcoming Trip To Japan Huge For International Ducks Community

The news of the Oregon Ducks' arrival in June has turned into a frenzy in Japan. The excitement is palpable and Tyler Moore says the feedback has been very positive.

"Coach (Dan) Lanning, his overall schemes, how he approaches the game, all of that matters. And having him here definitely inspires, not only the athletes here, but also the other coaches here," Moore stated. "In Japan, it's still a growing game. And for him to come here and put on a coach's clinic and explain how things are run at the University of Oregon is huge for this community,"

Oregon is moving ahead at a rapid pace and has built a strong fanbase of international followers. Getting top brands like Nike is also doing huge favors for its growing stock value.

"The first thing is the association with Nike and their uniforms - just everything, Oregon is a prestigious university. We couldn't be more excited to partner," Moore added.

Oregon couldn't be better positioned with all the limelight it is receiving. It's no surprise the Japanese fans are sold and that is a global achievement.
