Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Release Schedule: When Does Episode 1 Release?

Goku has fought some terrifying enemies, but what happens when his next opponent is a God who can destroy an entire planet? That’s where Dragon Ball Super: Beerus begins, bringing back one of the most entertaining chapters of the Dragon Ball story with enhanced visuals and a fresh presentation.

The new series premieres in Japan on October 11, 2026, and is reportedly listed for 19 episodes. With Crunchyroll and Netflix set to stream it internationally, here’s when Episode 1 arrives, the projected release schedule for the full series, and what makes this new version worth watching.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1 Release Date and Time

The wait is almost over! Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1 will air in Japan on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 11:15 PM JST. Crunchyroll will also stream the series starting October 11, but there’s one small catch: the platform hasn’t announced the exact time when the episode will go live. It still shows as TBA, or to be announced, in their Fall 2026 anime season lineup (via Crunchyroll).

Crunchyroll usually releases new simulcast episodes around an hour after their Japanese broadcast. Following that pattern, Episode 1 could arrive at approximately 11 AM EDT or 8 AM PDT on October 11. That’s an estimate, though, rather than a confirmed time. So keep an eye on this article, and we will update it as soon as Crunchyroll reveals the official release time for their platform.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Full Episode Release Schedule

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is reportedly listed for 19 episodes (via @SugoiLITE on Twitter/X). Nineteen episodes might not sound like much for a Dragon Ball series, but there’s a good reason to be excited. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus isn’t starting an entirely new adventure. Instead, it revisits the original anime’s first three major story arcs with enhanced visuals, newly added and redrawn scenes, and a reconstructed narrative.

The projected schedule gives the series a Sunday release pattern on Crunchyroll and a Saturday rollout on Netflix. Crunchyroll’s premiere is set for October 11, while Netflix’s US release begins on October 17. If both platforms stick to a weekly schedule, the final episode should arrive in February 2027.

What to Expect from Dragon Ball Super: Beerus

Goku has never been the type to back away from a fight, but Beerus is a very different kind of opponent. The God of Destruction isn’t just another powerful Dragon Ball villain waiting to be defeated. He can wipe out entire worlds, and even the strongest fighters on Earth have little chance against him when he gets serious.

The fun begins when Beerus starts looking for the legendary Super Saiyan God after waking from a long slumber. His search eventually brings him to Goku, who is naturally thrilled to meet someone strong enough to give him a real challenge. The first arc also introduces Whis, whose calm personality and incredible abilities make him just as interesting as Beerus.

After the Beerus storyline, the series moves into the Golden Frieza arc and the Universe 6 arc. Frieza’s return brings back one of Goku’s most personal rivalries, while the Universe 6 Tournament introduces new fighters and expands the world beyond the familiar cast.

The biggest draw, however, is the enhanced presentation. Familiar battles can feel very different when the visuals and storytelling are refreshed. For longtime fans, it offers a chance to revisit some beloved moments without simply watching the original episodes again.

Where to Watch Dragon Ball Super: Beerus

For international viewers, Crunchyroll will stream Dragon Ball Super: Beerus starting October 11, 2026. The exact Episode 1 streaming time hasn’t been announced, although Crunchyroll’s usual release pattern suggests it may arrive around an hour after the Japanese broadcast.

Netflix’s US rollout begins on October 17, 2026, giving viewers another way to watch the enhanced series. In Japan, the anime premieres on Fuji TV and its affiliated channels at 11:15 PM JST on October 11. Prime Video and U-NEXT will begin streaming there in Japan at 12:15 AM on October 12, while other Japanese streaming services are scheduled to offer episodes on Thursdays at 12:15 AM (via the official website).

With 19 episodes planned, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus could be a great excuse to revisit Goku’s early battles with a fresh look. So are you looking forward to this enhanced version? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
