The event also acts as an informal gathering place for the Umamusume fanbase to “Umapyoi into 2026 together,” embracing community, competition, and shared enthusiasm for the franchise’s characters and the training-to-victory gameplay that has captivated players globally.
As Umamusume: Pretty Derby continues to grow its international following bolstered by both in-game events and real-world fan meetups, the Year of the Uma celebration in Manila promises to be one of the early highlights of the 2026 fan event calendar.
