You can stream Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War in the US on Hulu, and the series finale lands Monday, October 26, 2026. Episode 9 of Part 4, “The Calamity,” went up on October 19, and the 10th and last episode follows a week later, according to FandomWire and Crunchyroll News. Outside the US, the same episodes stream on Disney+.
Quick answer: Hulu in the US, Disney+ elsewhere. Finale Monday, October 26, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. PT (11:30 a.m. ET) per FandomWire, which cites VIZ Media. One other outlet lists 7:30 a.m. PT, so check the Hulu page that morning.
- Official (Crunchyroll News, citing the anime’s official X account): the final episode airs October 26.
- Reported by a named outlet: Hulu is the US streaming home and Disney+ is the global one (FandomWire); the weekly schedule runs Saturdays, with Mondays for the last two episodes (Final Weapon).
- Unconfirmed: the exact release minute (7:30 or 8:30 a.m. PT depending on the outlet) and when the English dub of the finale arrives. Final Weapon says subs and dub release together. Film Daily says the dub follows in November. We could not confirm either one.
Updated: October 20, 2026, 3:15 a.m. ET. What changed: first published. Facts last verified October 20, 2026, 3:15 a.m. ET against FandomWire, Crunchyroll News, Final Weapon and Film Daily.
Where can you watch Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War in the US?
Hulu. FandomWire reports Hulu is the only US service holding the rights, and says Crunchyroll and Netflix do not carry the title. Film Daily says the same, adding that Hulu lists the earlier parts of the series as well. Hulu’s own description of the show is quoted by Crunchyroll News, so the platform itself carries the series. If you are outside the US, FandomWire reports Disney+, and JioHotstar in India.
When does the Bleach finale come out, and at what time?
Monday, October 26, 2026. FandomWire, citing VIZ Media, lists 8:30 a.m. PT, which is 9:30 a.m. MT, 10:30 a.m. CT and 11:30 a.m. ET. In Japan, TV Tokyo airs it at 12:00 a.m. on October 27, per the same report. Final Weapon lists the regular slot as 7:30 a.m. PT. Our read: plan for the morning of the 26th and refresh Hulu, since the two outlets are an hour apart.
What is the full Part 4 schedule?
Per Final Weapon’s list, Part 4 has 10 episodes. Episode 1 aired July 25, and episodes 2 through 8 followed weekly through September 12. Episode 9 came out October 19, and the finale is October 26. Film Daily reports the gap was a quality delay confirmed by VIZ Media. We did not find the VIZ post ourselves, so treat the reason as reported.
Do you need to watch the old Bleach first?
It helps, though you do not have to. Crunchyroll News lays out the sequel’s run: Part 1 streamed from October to December 2022, Part 2 (The Separation) from July to September 2023, Part 3 (The Conflict) in October 2024, and Part 4 (The Calamity) began in July 2026. Film Daily recommends the original series first for newcomers. If you only want the final war, start at Part 1 and expect to look up characters as you go.
What this means for fans
- Catching up before Monday: Episode 9 is up now. Watch it first, since the finale picks up directly from it.
- Avoid spoilers: FandomWire’s finale preview discusses Episode 9 plot points, so skip it until you have watched.
- Dub fans: do not assume the dub lands on October 26. Reports conflict, so check Hulu’s language menu that day.
- Time zones: the release is morning in the US, afternoon in the UK and evening in India per FandomWire’s table.
Timeline
- October 2022: Part 1 premieres, per Crunchyroll News.
- July to September 2023: Part 2.
- October 2024: Part 3.
- July 25, 2026: Part 4 begins.
- October 19, 2026: Episode 9 releases, and a new “Bleach The Stories” visual of Ichigo’s decisive blow is shared by the official X account.
- October 26, 2026: finale, Episode 10 of Part 4 (episode 50 overall, per Crunchyroll News).
Analysis: with only one legal US home, the finale is a Hulu event more than a general streaming one. The conflicting release times and dub reports show how quickly fan sites repeat each other, so the safest plan is the one on Hulu’s page that morning.
