One Piece Elbaph Arc release schedule: when are episodes 1161 and 1162 on Netflix and Crunchyroll?

One Piece's Elbaph Arc continues on Crunchyroll and Netflix this week, though only one of those streamers has the latest episode day-and-date with its Japanese release.

Confused? Below, we guide you through choppy waters with a One Piece episode 1162 release date, US and UK streaming time, a look ahead to the long-running anime's new release schedule plans, and more.

One Piece episode 1161 release date: what time is the next Elbaph Arc episode on Crunchyroll and Netflix?

One Piece episode 1162 releases on Crunchyroll on May 17, 2026 at 7:15 AM Pacific/10:15 AM Eastern. That's 3:15 PM BST in the UK.

Those on Netflix are still waiting for episode 1161 which drops on May 16, 2026. Episode 1162 will then release on May 23.

One Piece Elbaph Arc release schedule: when are new episodes out?

New One Piece episodes will release every Sunday on Crunchyroll, then the following Saturday on Netflix.

One Piece, though, is slowing down considerably in 2026. It's reverting to a schedule of 26 episodes per year, down from the usual total of around 40 or 50 episodes.

That move has been done to allow the manga further time to stretch ahead, as well as fix any pacing issues.

The current One Piece Elbaph Arc release schedule is as follows:

One Piece episode 1156: April 5, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/April 11, 2026 (Netflix) - out now!
One Piece episode 1157: April 12, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/April 18, 2026 (Netflix) - out now!
One Piece episode 1158: April 19, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/April 25, 2026 (Netflix) - out now!
One Piece episode 1159: April 26, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/May 2, 2026 (Netflix) - out now!
One Piece episode 1160: May 3, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/May 9, 2026 (Netflix) - out now!
One Piece episode 1161: May 10, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/May 16, 2026 (Netflix)
One Piece episode 1162: May 17, 2026 (Crunchyroll)/May 23, 2026 (Netflix)
