Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Sets Premiere Date — Could This Be Anime’s Biggest Month Ever?
Brace for more curses and carnage as Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 storms onto Crunchyroll January 8.
We finally have a date. After what feels like forever, Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is actually locked in.
When it drops
Crunchyroll says season 3 premieres on January 8, 2026. That puts the series back on screens after roughly two and a half years away.
What season 3 covers
Details are still under wraps, but the big headline is clear: this season adapts the Culling Game arc. If you know the manga, you know what that means — a twisted, nationwide battle royale that throws sorcerers into brutal, shifting matchups across Japan. Not subtle. Very messy. Should be a blast to watch.
Want an early peek?
There is one. The compilation film 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution' will bundle a recap of season 2’s Shibuya Incident with the opening episodes of season 3. It hits UK theaters on November 14 and US theaters on December 5 — a tidy lead-in to January.
January 2026 is stacked
JJK is not arriving alone. The winter slate is absurd in the best way. Alongside Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, here’s what else is scheduled to land around the same time:
- Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2
- The final part of Fire Force
- Oshi no Ko season 3
- My Hero Academia: Vigilantes season 2
- Fate/strange Fake
- Hell's Paradise season 2
Good luck finding a heavier winter lineup than that.
Catching up on the source
If you want to read ahead, Crunchyroll now has a manga add-on with thousands of chapters across hundreds of series. Handy if you want to dive into the Culling Game before the season kicks off.
