Stop what you’re doing. I can confirm Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is locked for January 2026, with weekly episodes. The Culling Game arc is coming to screens worldwide, and the gloves are off. Fans, creators, and even a few celebrity super fans are already circling their calendars. This is the next chapter we have been waiting for.
When and where to watch
JJK Season 3 begins its run in January 2026. Episodes will air weekly in Japan, then stream shortly after as a simulcast in most regions. Crunchyroll will carry the season in territories where it holds rights. Expect your usual subbed drop within hours of broadcast, week after week.
Premiere window: January 2026, with a weekly simulcast on Crunchyroll in most regions.
The English dub will follow the subtitled launch. That rollout typically trails the sub by a bit, and will stack up as the season airs. Regional details are coming closer to premiere, but the plan is set. You will be able to keep pace weekly.
What the Culling Game brings
Season 3 jumps right where Season 2 left us, raw and breathless. The Culling Game is a deadly ritual, set up like a living maze of rules and penalties. Sorcerers enter sealed colonies, then fight for points, survival, and change to the rules themselves. Kenjaku’s scheme tightens, and the stakes for Yuji and his friends turn brutal and personal.
This arc is a pressure cooker. It mixes strategy with savage clashes. It also introduces new fighters who steal scenes fast, and it pushes fan favorites into their hardest choices yet.
- Rule bound battles, Domain showdowns, and fast power pivots
- New faces with cursed techniques that twist the game
- Surprise alliances, with consequences that hit hard
The tone is sharp. The pace is relentless. You will want to pause, rewind, then gasp again.
Who is back, and who is making it
MAPPA returns to animate Season 3. The team is leaning into sharper choreography, clean impact frames, and mood that swings from eerie quiet to explosive action. The core Japanese voice cast is back in the booth. Expect the voices of Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Yuta, Maki, and more to anchor the storm. The English cast is set to return as well, with dub episodes rolling out after the sub starts.
New teasers tease kineticism and blood red tension. Culling Game arenas feel massive, but tight on the nerves. The soundtrack punches, then lingers. It is classic JJK energy, focused and mean.
Release rhythm and how to prepare
Circle January. Then plan your weekly check ins. JJK is a conversation show, and Season 3 will be even more of one. Holiday weeks can shift broadcast calendars, so expect the occasional pause. The main cadence, one episode a week, will hold.
Spoilers will fly fast once the simulcast hits. Mute keywords, pick your message threads, and watch early if you can.
If you need a quick prep, rewatch the Shibuya Incident climax and the immediate fallout. Lock in on Yuji’s headspace, Megumi’s burden, and the state of Tokyo’s sorcerer scene. Understand where Yuta stands. Remember the rules around binding vows, and keep your eye on any rule that can be edited in the Game itself.
Do a tight refresher with the final arc of Season 2, then set calendar alerts for weekly drops. It pays off.
Celebrity and fan energy
Anime loving stars have been riding for JJK since Season 1. Expect watch parties to pop up, from studio back rooms to backstage vans. Cosplayers are already sketching Culling Game fits, and stylists will pull cursed core looks for winter press runs. Streamers plan live reactions, and gym rats will chase that Black Flash focus. This is the kind of arc that bleeds into fashion, playlists, and locker room hype.
Con season will feel the impact. Photo walls will turn into colony zones. Meetups will debate rules like sports radio. And yes, there will be at least one iconic Domain Expansion recreation on stage. Call it the JJK effect. The show lands, then culture moves.
The bottom line
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 arrives January 2026, and it will hit every week. Crunchyroll will stream the simulcast in most regions, with the dub rolling out after. MAPPA is back. The Culling Game is the arena. Fans and celebrities are ready to dive in, gloves off, hearts on sleeves. Set your schedule now, then breathe. The fight is about to begin.
