Straw Hat fans finally have a release date to mark. Crunchyroll and Toei Animation have confirmed that the English dub of One Piece’s highly anticipated Elbaph Arc premieres October 20, 2026 — and for the first time, new English-dubbed episodes will drop weekly instead of in multi-episode batches.
Before that, the One Piece Heroines spin-off arrives in English, Spanish, and Portuguese dubs on October 13, 2026.

A New Release Format for Dub Fans
Unlike earlier English dub rollouts, which released episodes in large batches, the Elbaph Arc will follow a weekly schedule, starting with Episode 1156 and continuing with Episode 1157 the following week — bringing the English-speaking fanbase closer to the pace of the original Japanese broadcast.
What’s Elbaph About?
After a tense escape from Egghead Island, the Straw Hat Crew — alongside the Giant Warrior Pirates — finally reach Elbaph, the legendary Land of Giants. Long-teased reunions and new encounters kick off what’s shaped up to be one of the anime’s most ambitious arcs yet, as the crew pushes further toward the ultimate treasure: the One Piece itself.
Ahead of the premiere, an early English-dubbed clip from the arc is already available for fans to preview.
One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda, remains one of the best-selling manga series in history and a flagship title for Toei Animation — a legacy that continues to shape anime as a global entertainment format.
