Jujutsu Kaisen fans, the wait is almost over. Season 3 is officially on the way, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest arcs in the anime so far. If you’ve been wondering what’s coming, when it’s releasing, and what the story will focus on, here’s a simple breakdown.
Season 3 is confirmed to premiere on January 8, 2026 in Japan. Depending on your region, you might actually get it on January 7 because of time-zone differences.
Crunchyroll has also confirmed that JUJUTSU KAISEN Season 3 will stream on the platform on the same day, with a time to be announced at a later date.
This season will adapt the Culling Game Arc, one of the most intense and action-heavy arcs in the series.
Before the Culling Game, Season 3 will also cover:
Itadori’s Extermination Arc
Perfect Preparation Arc
Expect new sorcerers, new rules, new enemies, and a lot of high-stakes action.
A compilation movie titled “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution” is releasing before the new season. It recaps the Shibuya Incident and includes early footage from Season 3.
It’s a great refresher if you want to jump back into the story.
MAPPA continues as the animation studio.
A new narrator has been announced for both the Japanese and English releases.
Season 3 will be released in multiple parts (cours), with Part 1 arriving in January 2026.
