Marigold Dream Star Grand Prix 2026 (マリーゴールドドリームスターグランプリ2026, Marīgōrudo dorīmu sutā guranpuri 2026), stylized as DREAM✴︎STAR GP 2025, is an upcoming professional wrestling tournament promoted by the Japanese promotion Dream Star Fighting Marigold. It will take place between August 28 and September 20, 2026.[1]
Tournament history
The Dream Star Grand Prix is a professional wrestling tournament held by Marigold. Similar to Bushiroad-owned counterpart tournaments New Japan Pro-Wrestling's G1 Climax and Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix, it is held as a round-robin tournament with wrestlers split into two pools. The winner of each pool competed in the final to decide the winner. As is the case with Bushiroad tournaments, a win is two points and a draw is one point for each wrestler.[2]
Storylines
The event featured professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]
