The English dub of One Piece begins the Elbaph arc on October 20, 2026, at 9 a.m. PT on Crunchyroll. Episode 1156 will open the release, with one new dubbed episode scheduled every Tuesday at the same time.
A fixed Tuesday slot for the English dub
The announcement gives English-speaking viewers a clear weekly schedule rather than a one-off launch date:
- Start: October 20, 2026, at 9 a.m. PT.
- First episode: Episode 1156.
- Schedule: Every Tuesday at 9 a.m. PT.
- Platform: Crunchyroll.
Crunchyroll’s official announcement confirms that the anime will be available in both subtitled and dubbed versions. The Tuesday slot establishes the pace for the English version, but it does not yet provide a French release schedule.
Crunchyroll and Toei Animation have not announced availability in France or a French time conversion. Viewers in France should therefore keep the announced 9 a.m. PT reference rather than treating an unconfirmed conversion as an official local time.
ONE PIECE HEROINES arrives one week earlier
The English, Spanish and Portuguese versions of ONE PIECE HEROINES will debut on October 13, 2026, at 9 a.m. PT, one week before the Elbaph dub begins. The Japanese broadcast of the arc continues on Sundays at 9 a.m. PT on Crunchyroll, creating separate weekly schedules for the original broadcast and the English dub.
Elbaph follows the escape from Egghead
In the story, Elbaph follows the Straw Hat crew’s escape from Egghead Island. The crew reaches the land of the Giants alongside the Giant Warrior Pirates, while new encounters and reunions have been announced. For English-speaking viewers, the October 20 date marks the start of the dub’s regular progression through an arc anticipated for a long time.
The practical detail is simple: Episode 1156 starts the English dub on October 20, followed by Tuesdays at 9 a.m. PT. The French platform availability and local release time remain to be clarified, so those details should not be inferred from the U.S. Pacific Time schedule.

Crunchyroll confirms the release details
The official announcement from Crunchyroll and Toei Animation, published by Crunchyroll News on 2026-08-24, confirms the Elbaph English dub launch, its weekly schedule, and the October 13 release of ONE PIECE HEROINES.
For now, October 20 is the confirmed starting point for the English dub, while France-specific access and timing are still pending.
