Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 has begun airing, adapting the Culling Game arc from Gege Akutami's manga. The first two episodes launched together on Crunchyroll on 8 January 2026. The season is split into parts, starting with a 12-episode cour.
The third season of the popular supernatural anime Jujutsu Kaisen follows Yuji Itadori, who gained powers after consuming a cursed finger and joined Tokyo Jujutsu High to battle cursed spirits. Season 2 ended with the Shibuya Incident, where the sorcerer Satoru Gojo was sealed away by the curse user Kenjaku.
New episodes started on Thursday, 8 January 2026, with a double bill of the first two: 'Execution' and 'One More Time'. The Culling Game Arc Part 1 comprises 12 episodes, airing weekly on Thursdays until 19 March 2026. The schedule includes:
- Episode 3: 'About the Culling Game' on 15 January
- Episode 4: 'Perfect Preparation' on 22 January
- Episodes 5 through 12 on subsequent Thursdays through 19 March
Episodes become available on Crunchyroll at 5pm GMT for UK viewers, though Japanese broadcast times shift for episodes 6 and 7 to 12:36am JST, and a special recap episode after episode 7 airs at 2:00am JST. This recap features newly recorded narration restructuring season 3 events.
The season is expected to total 24 episodes, potentially split into two cours with a three-month break. Part 2 is predicted to begin on 25 June 2026, running through 10 September, though this remains unconfirmed. Fans could view the premiere episodes early via the UK cinema release of the compilation film Jujutsu Kaisen Executioner on 14 November 2025.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 streams exclusively on Crunchyroll in the UK, while prior seasons and the prequel film are on Netflix. The arc introduces a brutal battle royale orchestrated by Kenjaku, continuing the series' dark fantasy narrative of sorcery and curses.
