Crunchyroll’s Fall 2026 anime lineup begins in late September and accelerates through the first full week of October. The announced slate includes Black Clover Season 2, The Apothecary Diaries Season 3, Overgeared, Firefly Wedding and the new Magic Knight Rayearth adaptation.

Release dates, regions and dub languages vary by title. Crunchyroll says schedules can change, and its dub announcement leaves exact dubbed premiere times to later updates.

Which Fall 2026 anime are getting dubs?

Crunchyroll has published a separate Fall 2026 dub announcement, but exact dubbed episode times are not final for every title. The platform may add languages or update release timing after the initial subtitled premiere.

A title appearing in the seasonal lineup does not automatically mean every dub is available in every country. Viewers should check the local series page when episodes go live, especially for language options and territory restrictions.

The lineup can still expand

Crunchyroll labels the seasonal schedule as subject to change. Additional series and regional details can be added after the first announcement, while listed dates may move.
