Black Clover Season 2: where to watch
Crunchyroll is the official international streaming home. It streams Season 2 as it airs in Japan in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, including the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.
In Japan, the show streams on Anime Times, Lemino, U-NEXT and Anime Hōdai after the TV Tokyo broadcast. All 170 episodes of the first series are on Crunchyroll if you want to rewatch.
Black Clover Season 2 release time
Crunchyroll's official lineup lists the weekly sub slot as Saturday at 8:00 a.m. PT:
| Location | Time (Saturdays up to 24 Oct) |
|---|---|
| US Pacific | 8:00 a.m. PDT |
| US Eastern | 11:00 a.m. EDT |
| UK / Ireland | 16:00 BST |
| Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain | 17:00 CEST |
| Japan (TV Tokyo broadcast) | 11:00 p.m. JST, an hour before the Crunchyroll stream (until 31 Oct) |
Clock changes: Europe falls back on 25 October and the US on 1 November. In between, every European time is one hour earlier, so on Saturday 31 October the episode arrives at 16:00 CET (15:00 GMT).
From 7 November, the time isn't confirmed yet. If Crunchyroll keeps 8:00 a.m. PT, it's back to 17:00 CET (16:00 GMT), two hours after the Japanese broadcast. If the stream moves with the Japanese broadcast instead, which doesn't change because Japan has no daylight saving time, it stays at 16:00 CET (15:00 GMT). Crunchyroll hasn't said which, so check the show's Crunchyroll page that week. We'll update this page once we know.
Some sites list "7:00 a.m. PT" or "16:00 CEST". Those are the Japanese TV broadcast converted to other time zones. Crunchyroll's schedule lists the stream at 8:00 a.m. PT.
Weekly schedule: every Saturday

From 25 to 31 October, every European time is one hour earlier, which is why episode 5 shows 16:00 CET. Times from 7 November are marked TBC until Crunchyroll confirms how it handles the US clock change (see Clock changes above).
Dates from episode 4 onward are projected on a weekly basis. TV Tokyo or Crunchyroll can add breaks for sports, specials or year-end programming. How many episodes air this fall hasn't been announced, so the table stops at 12 for now. We'll extend or trim it as official info arrives.
Binge or weekly? Weekly. New episodes land every Saturday and the episode count isn't confirmed, so there's no finish line to binge towards yet. Need a binge in the meantime? The 170-episode first series is right there on Crunchyroll.
How many episodes is Black Clover Season 2?
- Reported: 24 episodes across two halves. Game Rant reported this based on a Japanese TV guide database.
- First half: unconfirmed. Game Rant suggests 12 if the season splits evenly, but notes that the TV guide listing seems to point to 13. Studio Pierrot, TV Tokyo, Shueisha and Crunchyroll haven't confirmed either number.
According to the official Japanese anime site, Yūki Tabata's manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump and Jump GIGA from February 2015 to May 2026, so the anime has a complete story to adapt.
Is there a Black Clover Season 2 dub?
Yes. The English dub started on Crunchyroll on 17 October 2026, with new dubbed episodes weekly. Crunchyroll's schedule also names these dub languages "streaming at a later date": Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Castilian Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Polish.
What's it about? (spoiler-free)
Crunchyroll's official synopsis: Asta and the Magic Knights raid the Spade Kingdom to save their captains from the Dark Triad. The ending theme is "Yellow Brick Road" by ONE OR EIGHT.
Mira's take: A raid on the Spade Kingdom to rescue the captains is a big, all-hands setup for a comeback. With the manga finished, the anime has the whole story to work with, and that's what has me most excited about this return.
