One-Punch Man season 3 release schedule: when is episode 1 on Hulu, Disney Plus and Crunchyroll?

One-Punch Man season 3 has one of the less straightforward release schedules of the Fall 2025 anime season. Not only does it come off the back of a multiple-year wait for Saitama's all-punching, all-kicking return, it's actually split over two prominent streamers. On top of that, there remains confusion over its premiere release date.

To help alleviate some worries as we head into premiere week, we've put together a quick guide on the One-Punch Man season 3, episode 1 release date, its Hulu and Crunchyroll streaming times, and where exactly you can watch it depending on where you are in the world.

One-Punch Man season 3, episode 1 release date: what time is it premiering on Hulu and Crunchyroll?

One-Punch Man season 3, episode 1 is expected to release on October 5 after 7:45 AM Pacific/10:45 AM Eastern on Hulu/Disney Plus in the US.

In the UK, that's 3:45 PM BST, with new episodes premiering on Crunchyroll for European viewers.

The release timings are very much up in the air, however. Right now, all we have to go on is Japan's release time at 23:45 PM Japan Standard Time, with new episodes then typically arriving in the west within one-to-two hours.

There is also currently some confusion, however, as to whether the October 5 episode is the currently slated season 2 recap episode or a season 3 episode. If it's the latter, expect the season 3 premiere to be pushed to October 12.
