Kaiju No. 8 season 2, episode 7 will be released on Crunchyroll on August 30 at 7:00 AM Pacific/10:00 AM Eastern. That's 3:00 PM BST over in the UK.

The episode will be streamed first as a live broadcast, and is then available on-demand from 7:30 AM Pacific/10:30 AM Eastern. Oddly, it's also listed as 'episode 19' on the streamer, following directly on from the first season's episode count and including a recent special.
