One-Punch Man Season 3 lands today, Sunday, October 12, 2025, after a six‑year wait since the April 2019 second season. The rollout is global and multi‑platform, with region‑by‑region details and exact release times below. Fans asking for the One Punch Man season 3 release date can circle October 12, with weekly episodes each Sunday.

Release date and where to watch

Season 3 begins streaming on October 12, 2025. In the United States, new episodes stream on Hulu. In Canada, they stream on Disney+. In Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand, Netflix carries the season, while Crunchyroll streams in Latin America and Oceania. Viz Media coordinated the worldwide rollout. A recap “Episode 0” for Season 2 dropped ahead of the premiere.

Global release times and weekly schedule

Episode 1 goes live around 10:45 a.m. ET / 7:45 a.m. PT on Sunday, October 12. Additional regional times include 3:45 p.m. BST (U.K.), 11:45 p.m. JST (Japan), 12:45 a.m. AEST (Australia, Monday), and 2:45 a.m. NZST (New Zealand, Monday). New installments arrive every Sunday through an expected 12‑episode run with planned Sundays of Oct 12, Oct 19, Oct 26, Nov 2, Nov 9, Nov 16, Nov 23, Nov 30, Dec 7, Dec 14, Dec 21, and Dec 28, 2025. (If the episode count shifts, the schedule could change.)

Story so far and what Season 3 adapts

Season 3 adapts the Monster Association arc. The S‑Class heroes mount a raid to rescue a kidnapped VIP, while Saitama continues to operate as a “hero for fun.” Garou’s trajectory after Season 2 sets up the central conflict as the “human monster” aligns with the villains. One preview article indicates this season may build to the arrival of Psykos; that remains subject to how far the adaptation progresses.

Creative team and production notes

Director Shinpei Nagai leads Season 3 amid fan scrutiny over the change at the helm. Coverage in India‑based outlets flagged the controversy around Nagai’s prior credits and urged patience from viewers. The long hiatus since 2019 and the global, multi‑service licensing plan set expectations for a polished return.

Cast and characters (partial)

  • Saitama — the overpowered “hero for fun.”
  • Genos — Saitama’s cyborg disciple.
  • Garou — the “human monster,” pivotal to this arc.
  • S‑Class heroes — mobilized by the Hero Association for the raid.

How to follow along each week

Bookmark your local service (Hulu, Disney+, Netflix, or Crunchyroll) and expect Sunday drops. In the United States, the show is not simulcasting on Crunchyroll; Hulu is the official home. In Canada, use Disney+. In Latin America and Oceania, check Netflix and Crunchyroll. In Europe and other regions, Crunchyroll carries the show.

Why the six‑year gap matters

The last new TV episodes aired in 2019, so expectations are high. The Monster Association arc offers more Saitama‑centered clashes and a long‑teased showdown with Garou. With weekly scheduling through late December, Season 3 aims to re‑establish the franchise’s momentum while keeping viewers engaged across multiple platforms worldwide.
