Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Premieres Jan 8, 2026 on Crunchyroll

Jujutsu Kaisen fans finally have a confirmed date for the anime’s return. Season 3 will premiere on January 8, 2026, with global streaming (outside Asia) set on Crunchyroll. The upcoming season adapts the Culling Game arc, one of the most action-heavy and high-stakes chapters in Gege Akutami’s manga.

Season 3 picks up immediately after the events of the Shibuya Incident. The new storyline places Japan under the rules of the Culling Game, a deadly contest created by Kenjaku. Sorcerers across multiple colonies must fight, survive, and score points to clear game conditions. This arc introduces several new characters, expands existing rivalries, and pushes the main cast into more intense battles than previous seasons.

Ahead of the season debut, a compilation film titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is scheduled for release. The film revisits major moments from the Shibuya Incident and leads directly into the opening episodes of Season 3. It works as a refresher for ongoing viewers and as a bridge for fans returning after the long production gap.
