Dragon Ball Super: Beerus begins its U.S. streaming rollout on October 11, 2026. The important detail is that Crunchyroll and Netflix are not using the same release date, so the best service depends on how quickly you want to watch.
Where to watch Dragon Ball Super: Beerus in the US
Crunchyroll is the first U.S. streaming home for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. Episode 1 is scheduled for Sunday, October 11. Netflix follows on Saturday, October 17, giving it a delay of almost one week.
The official Dragon Ball announcement confirms the October launch of the enhanced edition. Crunchyroll carries it outside Japan from premiere day, while Netflix starts its U.S. run on October 17.
If avoiding spoilers matters, Crunchyroll is the practical choice. If you already pay for Netflix and do not mind waiting, the series will arrive there without requiring another subscription.
What time does episode 1 release?
Crunchyroll confirmed the October 11 date, but it did not publish a universal U.S. clock time before launch. The strongest schedule estimate places the episode at about 11:00 a.m. Eastern, 10:00 a.m. Central, 9:00 a.m. Mountain, and 8:00 a.m. Pacific after the Japanese broadcast. Treat those times as an estimate, not a guaranteed minute.
Netflix is expected to add episode 1 at 3:00 a.m. Eastern and midnight Pacific on October 17, its usual global release window. A service can still change a listing, so the app page is the final authority if an episode is a few minutes late.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus weekly schedule
New episodes are expected every Sunday on Crunchyroll. Netflix begins one week behind and is expected to add episodes on Saturdays. That means U.S. viewers should plan around two different weekly rhythms:
- Crunchyroll: Sundays, beginning October 11
- Netflix: Saturdays, beginning October 17
Only the first episode dates are firmly useful today. Future dates can shift for holidays, production changes, or regional scheduling, so checking the episode page each week is safer than relying on a full-season calendar.
Is the premiere dubbed or subtitled?
The initial Crunchyroll release is the Japanese-language version with subtitles. An English dub is planned, with Jason Douglas returning as Beerus, but a same-day English audio track was not announced for the premiere. Crunchyroll normally labels each audio option directly on the episode page once it is available.
Netflix language options can vary by country and by release window. U.S. viewers should open the Audio & Subtitles menu after the October 17 launch rather than assuming that every track arrives together.
What is Dragon Ball Super: Beerus?
This is not a brand-new story that continues after the Tournament of Power. It is an enhanced edition of the early Dragon Ball Super material, beginning with Beerus awakening and searching for the Super Saiyan God.
Toei describes the project as Dragon Ball Super beginning anew. The production includes revised visuals, new cuts, newly recorded audio, a fresh score, and new opening and ending themes. The result is designed to retell familiar events with a more consistent presentation, not erase the original series.
A separate anime, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, is the actual continuation after the Universe Survival Arc. Keeping those projects separate prevents the most common launch-day confusion.
Do you need to watch anything first?
New viewers can start here if they know the basic premise of Dragon Ball Z: Majin Buu has been defeated and Earth is peaceful. Returning viewers do not need to rewatch the 2015 series before this version because Beerus retells that opening material.
If you are organizing a fall anime watchlist, our Black Clover Season 2 U.S. release guide covers another major October return. For Beerus, the short answer is simple: choose Crunchyroll for the earliest U.S. access, or wait until October 17 for Netflix.
