Fall 2026 is stacked, and your calendar is about to know it. Maomao, Asta and a brand-new Night City crew all return within three weeks of each other, so there's a lot to keep track of. This page is the fall 2026 anime schedule: every premiere date, every weekly slot in Pacific Time and Central European time, plus the studio and the service streaming each show. No plot spoilers. We only go as far as the official synopses.
Looking for what each show is about and which ones to watch first? Our Fall 2026 anime season guide covers that. This page sticks to dates and times.
Trying to decide which subscription to get? That's a separate question, and our Crunchyroll vs Netflix vs HIDIVE comparison covers it.

How to read the times
Most simulcast times are announced in Pacific Time (PT). Two clock changes land this fall, and (of course) they don't line up:
- Europe goes back from CEST to CET on Sunday 25 October 2026.
- The US goes back from PDT to PST on Sunday 1 November 2026.
| Crunchyroll time (PT) | Until 24 Oct | 25–31 Oct | From 1 Nov |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8:00 a.m. PT | 17:00 CEST | 16:00 CET | not confirmed yet (see below) |
Rule of thumb: add 9 hours to PT until 24 October, and 8 hours from 25 to 31 October. The CEST times in the tables below are for October up to the 24th. From 25 to 31 October, every CEST time in the tables is one hour earlier.
After 1 November, it isn't confirmed yet. If Crunchyroll keeps the same PT clock time, European times go back to the usual hour (8:00 a.m. PT is 17:00 CET again). If a stream follows the Japanese broadcast instead, it stays an hour earlier, because Japan doesn't change its clocks. Neither Crunchyroll nor Netflix has said which, so check the show's page in the first week of November. We'll update this page as soon as we know.

Fall 2026 anime schedule on Crunchyroll
This is where most of the season lives, so grab a coffee. Start dates and weekly slots come from Crunchyroll's official Fall 2026 lineup and the release schedule Crunchyroll sent to Anime News Network. Studios come from Crunchyroll's lineup or, where Crunchyroll lists none, from Anime News Network's records. Times are for the subbed version. From 25 to 31 October, every European time in this table is one hour earlier (so 17:00 becomes 16:00 CET); for November, see How to read the times. "(sub + dub)" means the dub streams alongside the sub; dubs that started later are listed in the FAQ.

PSYREN streams worldwide except Japan and China. Rows marked TBA had no weekly slot in Crunchyroll's announced lineup, and we haven't been able to confirm one from an official source yet, so check each show's Crunchyroll page. We'll fill them in once we can.

October 2026 anime on Netflix
Netflix mixes weekly shows with full-season drops this fall, so check the Format column before you plan your evenings.
| Show | Studio | Netflix date | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| STEEL BALL RUN JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2nd–3rd STAGE | david production | Started 25 Sep, new episodes Fridays | 11 episodes, weekly |
| Dragon Ball Super: Beerus | Toei Animation | 17 Oct (US); 14 Oct in some other countries | Ongoing |
| Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | TRIGGER × CD PROJEKT RED | Out since 20 Oct | 10 episodes, all at once |
| The Ramparts of Ice Season 2 | Studio KAI | From 2 Oct, worldwide | Weekly |
| Ranma 1/2 Season 3 | MAPPA | From 3 Oct, right after the Japanese TV broadcast | Weekly, Netflix exclusive |
| Blue Box Season 2 | Electric Circus | From 4 Oct | Weekly |
| Fool Night | Sunrise, SHAFT | Arrives in November: 26 Nov, worldwide | All episodes at once, Netflix exclusive |
| Mononoke The Movie: Chapter III – The Curse of the Serpent | Studio Kafka, EOTA | Out since 29 Sep, worldwide | Film, Netflix exclusive |
Netflix hasn't published release hours for Blue Box, The Ramparts of Ice, Ranma 1/2 or Fool Night, so we don't list times for them. Check each show's Netflix page.
Mononoke Chapter III is a film, not a weekly series: the third film of the Mononoke trilogy, which opened in Japanese cinemas in May and has streamed on Netflix worldwide since 29 September. Netflix also has the first two films.
Fall 2026 anime on Disney+ and Prime Video
Already paying for one of these? Each has an exclusive this season.
| Show | Studio | Service | Start | Weekly time (Japan) | Europe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tokyo Revengers: War of the Three Titans Arc | LIDEN FILMS | Disney+ (exclusive outside mainland China); Hulu in the US | Fri 2 Oct | Saturdays 2:00 a.m. JST | Fridays 19:00 CEST until 23 Oct, 18:00 CET from 30 Oct |
| The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom | J.C.STAFF | Prime Video (worldwide exclusive) | Sat 3 Oct | Sundays 12:00 a.m. JST | Saturdays 17:00 CEST until 24 Oct, 16:00 CET from 31 Oct |
Both services announced these slots in Japan time, so the European times are our conversions. Japan doesn't change its clocks, so from 25 October these shows arrive an hour earlier in Europe and stay there.
Suikoden: The Anime, free on YouTube (but not in most of Europe)
KONAMI animation's adaptation of the Suikoden II story streams for free with English subtitles on its official English YouTube channel, with new episodes on Tuesdays since 6 October. There's a big catch for European readers, though: the stream is available in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and in parts of the Middle East and Africa, as Anime News Network reported. It isn't available in the Netherlands or most of Europe. The official announcement says release times vary by region, so we don't list one.
Mira's take: A free, official stream with English subtitles is a lovely way to bring a classic RPG to new fans. I just wish the region list reached a little further into Europe.
Fall 2026 simulcasts on HIDIVE
HIDIVE's four fall simulcasts are listed for the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand only. HIDIVE hasn't published exact release times.
| Show | Studio | Day | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 | C2C | Wednesdays | 30 Sep (English dub from 21 Oct) |
| I'm Dating a Dark Summoner | AtoriE | Sundays | 4 Oct |
| Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden | KONAMI animation | Tuesdays | 6 Oct |
| TETSURYO! Meet with Tetsudou Musume | not listed | Thursdays | 8 Oct |
Neither HIDIVE nor Anime News Network listed a studio for TETSURYO! when we checked.
What to watch first (if you can't watch everything)
Our picks, with spoiler-free premises, are in the Fall 2026 anime season guide.
Mira's take: If I had to build one weekly routine from this page, Friday would be the anchor: Maomao on Crunchyroll and Steel Ball Run on Netflix, with Black Clover the next day. Edgerunners 2 is all out, so save it for a free weekend.
FAQ: quick answers
When does the fall 2026 anime season start?
Most fall 2026 anime premiered between late September and mid-October 2026. A Wild Last Boss Appeared! Season 2 opened the Crunchyroll schedule on 26 September, and the biggest wave arrived in the first week of October.
What are the biggest October 2026 anime premieres?
The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 (2 Oct), Black Clover Season 2 (3 Oct), Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (11 Oct) and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 (20 Oct on Netflix). That's a lot of big names for one month.
What time do fall 2026 anime episodes come out in Europe?
It depends on the week, thanks to two clock changes. Crunchyroll's 8:00 a.m. PT slot is 17:00 CEST until 24 October and 16:00 CET from 25 to 31 October. For any other PT time, add 9 hours (8 hours in the week of 25–31 October). From 1 November, it isn't confirmed yet whether streams keep their PT time (back to 17:00 CET) or follow the Japanese broadcast (staying at 16:00 CET), so check Crunchyroll that week.
Do fall 2026 anime have dubs?
Yes, plenty. Overgeared, Magical Explorer, #I'm Looking For a Zombie, FX Fighter Kurumi-chan, Reborn as a Space Mercenary, A Returner's Magic S2 and The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage have the dub airing alongside the sub on Crunchyroll. Since then, English dubs have started for The Apothecary Diaries S3 (from 16 Oct), Black Clover S2 (17 Oct), Aoashi S2 (18 Oct), PSYREN (19 Oct), and The Detective Is Already Dead S2, Magic Knight Rayearth and Sasaki and Peeps S2 (21 Oct), with new dubbed episodes weekly. For most other shows, the dub is still listed as "in production" with no airtime yet.
