Fire Force season 3 release schedule: When are new episodes out?

The rest of Fire Force season 3 is finally here, with the final episodes of the hit anime's final clash on their way.

Five years after Fire Force season 2, season 3 has continued to follow protagonist Shinra Kusakabe and Special Fire Force Company 8. Previously, Shinra and the rest of Company 8 returned to the surface and sought to unite the Fire Force and the military to defeat The Evangelist.

In the first cour of season 3, that conflict escalated sharply, with Company 8 pushed closer to open war as the story moved deeper into its final arc. Now, with the final season underway and the endgame in sight, fans are waiting to see how Shinra and Company 8’s battle will end.

How many episodes will there be in Fire Force season 3?

Fire Force season 3 is set to run for 25 episodes in total.

That makes it slightly longer than the anime’s previous seasons, which each ran for 24 episodes, and gives the final chapter a bit more room to bring Shinra and Company 8’s story to a close. Official packaging for the season, on the Fire Force anime's official website, splits the run into an upper volume and lower volume, aligning with episodes 1 to 12 and 13 to 25.

Where can I watch Fire Force season 3?

For international viewers, Fire Force season 3 is streaming on Crunchyroll, which announced the return of cour 2 for January 2026.

This means you cannot watch Fire Force season 3 anywhere else, like other popular platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, etc.

In Japan, the official anime website states that the latest episodes are available on Netflix after broadcast.

What's the plot of Fire Force season 3?

Fire Force season 3 is the final season, so there’s more than a little pressure from fans for the hit anime series to stick the landing.

The official synopsis teases the beginning of the final battle, with Shinra and the other Special Fire Force members moving closer to the truth behind the world’s mysteries after the fierce clashes over the Pillars and the Nether investigation. With all Special Fire Force companies now united in their efforts to stop the Great Cataclysm, the stage is set for Company 8’s biggest battle yet.

That means viewers should expect major twists, escalating stakes, and a full-speed run towards the anime’s endgame.

Fire Force is available to watch now on Crunchyroll.
