My Hero Academia Season 8 Release Calendar: Exactly When Every New Episode Drops

Eight years, a mountain of training arcs, and more quirk power-ups than I can count later, My Hero Academia is finally in the home stretch. Season 7 wrapped back in June 2024, and now the last chapter has officially kicked off: season 8 premiered on Saturday, October 4, 2025. If you want to dodge spoilers and keep up with Deku and company as it all comes crashing to a close, here’s the where, when, and what to expect.

Where to watch

In Japan, new episodes air first on Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV. For the rest of us, episodes hit Crunchyroll shortly after broadcast. That’s the primary simulcast home. Newer seasons aren’t popping up on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, or Prime Video right away; older seasons sometimes land elsewhere later, but if you want episodes as they drop, Crunchyroll is the move.

Release time and weekly cadence

New episodes are rolling out weekly on Saturdays. The drop times are set at 5:30pm JST, which lines up to roughly 1:30am PT, 4:30am ET, and 9:30am BST. Anime News Network lists those times, and they track with Crunchyroll’s usual simulcast timing.

How many episodes are we getting?

Officially, there isn’t a confirmed episode count yet. Unofficially, the working assumption is 11 episodes. Why? Because another series, The Blue Wolves of Mibu (aka Blue Miburo) is slated to take over MHA’s broadcast slot afterward. That’s the industry tea people are using to do the math. Does that explanation feel a little inside baseball? Absolutely. And the dates floating around for Blue Miburo don’t line up perfectly with this schedule, which makes the logic a bit wobbly. But if you’re just looking at the story left to adapt, it tracks: season 7 left about 33 manga chapters on the table, and 11 episodes is tight but doable.

What season 8 covers

This is the endgame: season 8 adapts the remainder of the Final War Arc and the Epilogue Arc. Deku continues his all-or-nothing fight against Tomura Shigaraki, where one wrong move could snap hero society for good. Meanwhile, All Might and All For One are on a collision course that puts a capstone on a rivalry the show has been building since day one. Everyone else who’s bled and fought to get here is basically holding their breath while the world hangs in the balance.

Expect the usual MHA cocktail of big-idea morality, very large explosions, and character payoffs that have been seeded for years. The manga wrapped this stretch with a clear, definitive ending; the anime is positioned to hit those same notes.

Bottom line: Saturdays, Crunchyroll, and maybe keep your timeline muted if you’re not watching the second episodes land.
