One Piece anime release date schedule: When are new episodes out?
The fun of the Egghead Arc continues.
Despite a hiatus earlier in the year, One Piece has been back in full swing with a flurry of new episodes, with upcoming release dates you'll need to keep an eye on.
As the Egghead arc continues, season 21 of the One Piece anime is now past its 50th episode, and is now heading toward its 1150th episode in total. Of course, going on for as long as it has, there's a variety of options to watch One Piece, but only one to see the newest episodes of the anime adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's beloved manga.
For instance, BBC iplayer is a great way UK fans can watch One Piece for free, but only covers up to the Land of Wano Arc, and is limited to the English-dubbed version — not the Japanese subtitled version. Then there's the live-action Netflix adaptation of One Piece with a season 2 on the way, but that's a re-tread of the Straw Hat Pirates' earlier adventures than the first.
One Piece release schedule: When do new episodes come out on Crunchyroll?
Following the release of episode 1145, new episodes of One Piece are mostly planned to be released on Crunchyroll every Sunday, but a small delay has been announced.
After episode 1145 dropped, the Japanese One Piece X (formerly Twitter) account announced a two-week break for the anime; this will be followed with an episode 145.5 recap special airing on 12th October.
This means One Piece episode 1146 has a delayed release date of 19th October, 2025, instead of the 5th. Outside of that, the remaining episodes ahead should still be release every following week as planned.
That said, based on the current schedule going as planned, the release date for every upcoming One Piece episode — starting with episodes 1146, 1147, and 1148 — is as follows:
- Episode 1,145.5 - "Dr. Chopper's Adventure Checkup -Traitors' Masquerade-”- 12th October
- Episode 1,146 - 19th October
- Episode 1,147 - 26th October
- Episode 1,148 - 2nd November
- Episode 1,149 - 9th November
- Episode 1,150 - 16th November
- Episode 1,151 - 23rd November
- Episode 1,152 - 30th November
- Episode 1,153 - 7th December
- Episode 1,154 - 14th December
- Episode 1,155 - 21st December
- Episode 1.156 - 28th December

How to watch One Piece in the UK
Like in the US and other territories, the best place to watch the latest episodes of One Piece in the UK is Crunchyroll, but older episodes are available on Netflix, whilst BBC iPlayer is home to episodes with the English dub.
Crunchyroll is, of course, ideal to watch One Piece as soon as it drops to avoid spoilers, but BBC iPlayer has exclusive streaming of the English dub, while Crunchyroll and Netflix only provide the Japanese version with subtitles. On the other hand, despite BBC iPlayer being technically free, you do have to have a TV licence in effect in order to access the streaming service legally, which costs £174.50 a year.
Netflix is a nice middle-ground if you're already a subscriber to watch other shows, since you only have to wait an extra week for the newest episodes of the anime, and you get access to the live-action version of One Piece, too.
You can catch One Piece on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
