Major Schedule Changes Confirmed for One Piece in 2026
In a significant announcement that will affect how fans watch the series, the production team has confirmed major changes for the coming year. It was revealed that the One Piece anime will broadcast only 26 episodes in 2026.
This new format is designed to allow the anime to adapt one manga chapter per episode, potentially improving pacing and depth.

This schedule is designed to allow the anime to properly conclude the Egghead Arc by the end of 2025 before launching into the next major saga. In other exciting news, the live-action adaptation of One Piece is also confirmed to return for its second season in Spring 2026.
