J1 League
Marinos is the current champions of the competition, winning the last season title on the last round after beating Vissel Kobe by 3–1. They stayed 2 points off Kawasaki Frontale, who also won their last league match against FC Tokyo, meaning that if Marinos had lost to Vissel, Frontale would be crowned J1 champions for a third consecutive season. With this title win, Marinos started the season as the second team with most J1 League titles, with 5 in total. They need 3 more titles to tie with 8-times J1 champions Kashima Antlers.

J.League Cup
As Marinos qualified for the AFC Champions League, the club would immediately be awarded a bye from the competition's group stage, entering it only in the quarter-finals. However, as the continental tournament only starts on September, instead of early in the year (as usual), Marinos had to play the group stage alongside the other 19 participating teams.
