BANZUKE FORECAST
September Basho 2026 — Banzuke Forecast
Our forecast of the next ranking sheet, based on the July results. Not the official banzuke.
Yokozuna and ozeki follow the promotion/demotion rules; everyone else is estimated from how similar records have actually moved the banzuke in the past. The official banzuke for the September basho is announced by the Sumo Association about two weeks before the tournament.
