Each of these stops will involve the Dragon Ball Pop-Up Tour USA 2026 being present in a mall for a single weekend. The Woodfield Mall pop-up is the first and will be available between February 6-8, 2026. The second involves American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey between February 20-22, 2026. After that, it heads to Aventua Mall in Aventura, Florida between February 27, 2026 and March 1, 2026. Bandai Namco then heads to Austin, Texas, where it will host the event at Barton Creek Square between March 6-8, 2026. Finally, things end at The Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia, California between March 13-15, 2026.

Bandai Namco already confirmed some of the things to expect from these pop-ups, though the official site noted what people can expect from each stop. For example, the Woodfield Mall one will include Dragon Ball figures and merchandise from Banpresto, Ichibansho, and Tamashii Nations SH Figuarts, models from Bandai Hobby, and its Gashapon capsule toys. Video games like Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero and Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra will appear, as will the Dragon Ball Super Card Game. There will be opportunities to go hands-on with figures to see how they could be posed, and there will be a tutorial event for the card game. Giveaways will happen at certain times each day. There will also be a free workshop to build a Son Goku Trial Version plastic model while supplies last. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero demo stations will appear too.

The Dragon Ball Pop-Up Tour USA 2026 starts at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois between February 6-8, 2026, then ends at The Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia, California between March 13-15, 2026. The anime series is streaming on Crunchyroll, Viz Media handles the manga, and Bandai Namco tends to handle the series’ games.
