Black Clover’s return is now closer than ever before. After the anime went on a hiatus in 2021, fans have been looking forward to its anime coming back in full force and continuing the adaptation of the Spade Kingdom Raid arc. It has now been confirmed that Black Clover Season 2 is making its grand debut next month, on October 3, 2026.
While we now have the release date, fans have been wondering about the number of episodes Black Clover Season 2 will feature. After a long wait, we finally have our answer. It's now been officially reported that Black Clover Season 2 will feature a total of 24 episodes. Furthermore, these 24 episodes are about to be split into two cours, giving us ample Black Clover content over the next few months.
Black Clover is a shonen story by Yuki Tabata. When it comes to the manga, the series was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump starting in 2015, and then moved to Jump GIGA Seasonal magazine in 2023. The manga finally ended on May 1, 2026, in Jump GIGA’s Spring Edition. With the story now fully wrapped up, the possibility of it being fully adapted into anime was always there. We're excited to know that the Black Clover anime is finally returning next month.
Previously, Black Clover ended its anime run on March 30, 2021, with episode 170. During last year's Anime Expo, Crunchyroll confirmed that Black Clover Season 2 is officially coming, and since then, we've been getting small teasers and bits of information about what's to come. New information has now surfaced about the upcoming Black Clover Season 2. Previously, rumors indicated that Black Clover Season 2 would have 24 episodes. Indeed, the latest report via the Tokyo TV Guide database sealed the deal. Black Clover Season 2 is locked in with 24 episodes in total. This is definitely a huge shift from Black Clover's previous anime run, as the series is now going seasonal, after having run on a weekly broadcast previously. With a seasonal schedule, we can expect far higher quality when it comes to animation and direction.
Black Clover Season 2's release date is fast approaching. We've known since June 14, 2026, that Black Clover Season 2 is set to be released in October 2026. On September 3, 2026, Crunchyroll officially confirmed that Black Clover Season 2 Episode 1 would make its grand debut on October 3, 2026. Technically, Episode 1 of Black Clover has an earlier screening date in U.S. and Canadian theaters, on September 21, 2026, as part of Crunchyroll’s Anime Night, but only for a limited audience. The true premiere will be on October 3, 2026. This will then be followed by the release of weekly episodes.
With the official reveal of the 24-episode count, we also now know that Black Clover Season 2 is going to be split into two cours, via information revealed through the Tokyo TV Guide database. Black Clover's upcoming October debut is marked as Black Clover Season 2 Part 1, meaning the season is split into two parts. At the moment, we don't know how many episodes each cour will have. However, two-cour seasons are often divided equally, which means that Black Clover Season 2 Cour 1 will feature 12 episodes.
That said, the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc could also be its own cour, and the Hino Country Arc following with the second cour. Either way, it's hard to tell when Black Clover Season 2 Part 1 will end and when Black Clover Season 2 Part 2 will begin. We will all have to wait for more information to be revealed about the matter as Black Clover's first part broadcasts. The report by the Tokyo TV Guide database seems to indicate a 13-episode run for the first cour, but that is subject to change.
