With Black Clover’s season 2 anime announced as part of the franchise‘s 10th–anniversary projects, fans are getting excited for the upcoming series. The first season of the anime ran from October 2017 to March 2021, and had 170 episodes. Fans really enjoyed the show, but Studio Pierrot had to stop production because the storyline was getting too close to the manga‘s current content.
Since then, fans have been waiting for more news about the anime continuing.
Now, the animation studio has officially confirmed Black Clover season 2, along with an announcement visual and a trailer. While the anime and the studio haven’t shared much information about the new season, here’s what we know so far.
When Is Black Clover Season 2 Coming Out?
Fans might remember that the second season was first mentioned in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine issue #32.
The official trailer was shown at Anime Expo 2025, and shortly after, Crunchyroll posted it on their YouTube channel.
None of the other promotional materials on the anime‘s website or social media platforms mentioned a specific release date.
The YouTube trailer caption said the anime would be released on Crunchyroll in 2026.
“A new saga begins!
Black Clover Second Season is coming to Crunchyroll in 2026! Watch Black Clover on Crunchyroll!”
Fans were surprised by the “2026” mention and were happy it was coming soon, but the caption was later changed to remove the “in 2026” part.
Since then, there have been no other updates or hints about a release window.
That said, fans can believe the staff were planning a 2026 release, but might have asked Crunchyroll to remove the date in case production gets delayed.
So, fans should expect Black Clover season 2 to be released in either 2026 or 2027.
What Else Do We Know About the Anime’s Return?
Black Clover has been confirmed to have a Green Stage at Jump Festa 2026.
Fans can look forward to some exciting news about the anime in December 2025. In addition, there have been several rumors sharing important details about the anime.
Although it hasn’t been officially announced, it’s been leaked that the second season will have 25 episodes, split into two parts: 12 and 13 episodes.
This matches the remaining manga content for the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc, which is about 61 chapters. On average, each episode will cover around 2.5 chapters.
Also, as fans might remember, the manga creator, Yuki Tabata, mentioned working with a powerful team to create a better version of the anime that fans around the world would enjoy.
