After a five-year wait, Black Clover Season 2 is officially happening — and we finally have a premiere window. The new season is confirmed for October 2026, with Crunchyroll streaming it exclusively outside Japan, which means Singapore fans will be watching weekly alongside the rest of the world.
The Official Confirmation — Published Today in Weekly Shōnen Jump
The announcement landed in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 29 (dated June 15, 2026) and was confirmed simultaneously via the official Black Clover X account (@bclover_PR). The release window is October 2026, placing it squarely in the Fall 2026 anime season. A specific premiere date has not yet been announced, but the October window means we are roughly three and a half months away from new episodes.
Director Ayataka Tanemura and the Core Team Are Back
Studio Pierrot is returning as the animation studio — the same house behind Naruto, BLEACH, and the original 170-episode Black Clover run. Director Ayataka Tanemura, who helmed the final stretch of Season 1 (episodes 153–170) and directed the beloved 2023 film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, is back in the chair. The core production team is also reassembled, with Keiichiro Ochi returning for series composition and Itsuko Takeda handling character design.
As covered by Anime Corner from the official announcement, director Tanemura said: “Once again, I’ll be serving as director! Will Asta and the others finally return after such a long time? We’re pushing ourselves beyond our limits in production so that we can show you an even more powerful story!”
Anime Expo 2026 — World Premiere of Episode 1 on July 4
If you happen to be in Los Angeles for Anime Expo 2026, there’s a very good reason to clear your July 4 schedule: a special panel will screen the world premiere of Black Clover Season 2’s first episode, with Asta’s Japanese voice actor Gakuto Kajiwara and director Tanemura appearing live on stage. For everyone else, the weekly broadcast begins in October — Crunchyroll has confirmed exclusive international streaming rights.

Last Words
Black Clover has always punched above its weight in Singapore. The original run had consistent viewership here, and the 2023 film performed well across Southeast Asia — so a full Season 2 is genuinely big news for local fans. Crunchyroll’s international simulcast means Singapore viewers get new episodes at the same time as Japan, no waiting for localised releases. October is roughly when the school holidays kick in too, which means the timing could not be much better for a long-running shonen marathon. Set a reminder, and keep an eye on the official Black Clover X account for the specific premiere date once it drops.
