Major sports viewed live at venues among adolescents Japan 2021, by type
According to a survey conducted in 2021, about 5.4 percent of teenagers aged 12 to 21 years in Japan have watched a professional baseball game live within the past 12 months. High school baseball was the second most visited live sports event with about 3.5 percent. However, more than 81 percent of respondents stated that they have not been to a single sports event in the past year, a significant increase compared to previous years, most likely due to the corona (COVID-19) lockdowns and social distancing measures implemented since 2020.
