ONE PIECE: Elbaph Arc English Dub Release Date and Crunchyroll Schedule

When does the ONE PIECE Elbaph Arc English dub start?

The English dub of the ONE PIECE Elbaph Arc starts on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, on Crunchyroll. The rollout begins with episode 1156 and continues weekly, according to Crunchyroll’s announcement with Toei Animation.

This is the English-language streaming debut of the Elbaph Arc, not the arc’s first anime release. The Japanese broadcast began in April 2026. Crunchyroll’s announcement sets a weekly cadence for the English dub rather than a multi-episode batch release.

What to expect from the weekly dub schedule

Viewers following the English version can expect a new dubbed episode each Tuesday after the October 20 launch. Crunchyroll has not described this as a full-season drop, so the October date refers to the start of the dubbed run. Check the service’s listing in your region for the episode’s local availability.

The Elbaph storyline follows the Straw Hats into the land of giants after the Egghead Arc. The official trailer previews the arc, while Crunchyroll’s release announcement is the source for the English-dub date and weekly schedule.

English dub and other language releases

This announcement concerns the English dub of the Elbaph Arc. Crunchyroll separately announced English, Spanish, and Portuguese dubs for the ONE PIECE HEROINES special, which has a different release date. Those language details should not be confused with the Elbaph Arc schedule.

Is the English dub available everywhere?

Crunchyroll is the announced platform. Streaming catalogs and audio tracks can differ by country, so viewers should check the title page in their market. The date and weekly pattern here describe the announced release, not guaranteed access in every territory.
