Crunchyroll announces One Piece Elbaph arc English dub premiere for October 2026

Fans of One Piece are in for a treat as this October, Crunchyroll has made an announcement that there is going to be an English dub for the Elbaph arc. According to official sources, it has been confirmed that the English dub of the anime will start airing on October 20, 2026. It will be picking up the anime with Episode 1156. This is important news because it changes the way it was previously released.

Generally, fans got multi-episode batches, but now the Elbaph arc is going to follow a weekly release schedule. After One Piece Episode 1156 is released this October, the anime will get to see a newly dubbed installment every Tuesday. Now that the dubbed episode is following the same time schedule as the original anime, fans will not have to wait for long, and they will be able to watch it on Crunchyroll.

Below is the list of release timings based on various major regions around the world:

• Pacific Time (PT): 9:00 AM
• Eastern Time (ET): 12:00 PM
• UK Time (BST): 5:00 PM
• India Time (IST): 9:30 PM
• Japan Time (JST): 1:00 AM on October 21

Getting to watch One Piece at a consistent pace is something that fans have really been looking forward to for a long time. Now the English dub premiere will be available in several regions, like the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Looking at how many regions this will be available in to stream it definitely makes it a significant development for those who prefer watching this iconic anime in English.

Moreover, the Elbaph arc itself is one of the most looked-forward-to storylines as it has a combination of intense action and major lore reveals, and Toei Animation has done a brilliant job in bringing the manga to life. More than anything, to see the Straw Hat crew make it to the land of Giants was once a distant dream, which now comes to life, and the stage is going to be set for them to have yet another memorable adventure.

Elbaph marks a new chapter for the Straw Hats in One Piece

Those who have read the manga know that the Elbaph arc is one of the major storylines in One Piece. With the Straw Hat crew arriving at a location that has been teased for years now. The land of Giants promises that it is going to expand the world we knew about and, at the same time, give us clarity on some of the most well-hidden mysteries.

Those who have been watching the dubbed version, getting Crunchyroll's weekly schedule means that they can now follow a more predictable release schedule. This was very much needed because currently One Piece has gotten popular all around the world, and for many fans, it gets difficult to follow the Japanese version. So they had to wait for a long time, and even then, the batch releases were not predictable.

Now they have multiple ways to experience the latest chapter of the Straw Hats' journey. With One Piece Episode 1156 beginning the English-dubbed Elbaph Arc on October 20, the next stage of Luffy and his crew's adventure is officially ready to set sail on Crunchyroll. Although there is a small additional announcement, which will make viewers really happy.

Before the Elbaph Arc English dub begins, Crunchyroll will also give fans another One Piece-related release to enjoy. The English, Spanish, and Portuguese dubs of One Piece Heroines will premiere on Crunchyroll on October 13, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PT.

The special story focuses on Nami, who finds herself dealing with a troublesome pair of shoes after a failed attempt to stop thieves. Seeking a refund, she returns to the shop where she bought them, only for the head designer to offer her a new pair under one unusual condition: she must participate in an upcoming fashion show. This release will serve as a fun prelude to the much larger Elbaph adventure arriving the following week.
