In the United States, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus streams on Netflix, with new episodes rolling out weekly starting Saturday, October 17, 2026. That is the detail most US fans get wrong: the enhanced remake is a Crunchyroll exclusive in Europe, the UK, and other regions, but stateside it is a Netflix title, and it arrives about six days after the Japanese broadcast.
So if you have been waiting on Crunchyroll’s US library for it, stop — it is not coming there. Below is the full release schedule as it stands, what Netflix has and has not confirmed, and which arcs this remake actually covers.
The quick facts
- Title: Dragon Ball Super: Beerus
- Where to watch in the US: Netflix
- US premiere: Saturday, October 17, 2026
- Release pattern: Weekly, one episode at a time
- International note: Crunchyroll holds it in Europe, the UK, the Middle East, and Africa from October 11 — not the US
- What it is: A visually rebuilt, re-animated version of Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus US release schedule on Netflix
Netflix confirmed the series on October 1, 2026, and set its US weekly rollout to begin October 17th — a Saturday — six days behind the Japanese television premiere and the Crunchyroll simulcast that start on October 11th. New episodes then continue on a weekly cadence, which puts them on Saturdays in the US.
One important caveat before the table: Netflix has not published a total episode count for the US run or an exact unlock time for each weekly drop. The premiere date and the weekly rhythm are confirmed; the dates below for later weeks reflect that confirmed weekly slot, and the listed times follow Netflix’s standard midnight-Pacific release window. Expect this grid to firm up as Netflix adds episodes to the title page.
| Episode | US date (Netflix) | Expected US time |
|---|---|---|
| Episode 1 (premiere) | Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
| Episode 2 | Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
| Episode 3 | Saturday, October 31, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
| Episode 4 | Saturday, November 7, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
| Episode 5 | Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
| Episode 6 | Saturday, November 21, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
| Episode 7 | Saturday, November 28, 2026 | 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET |
The series continues weekly beyond the dates shown. Netflix has not announced where the US season ends, so treat the schedule as rolling rather than final.
Why it is on Netflix in the US and Crunchyroll abroad
This is the part tripping people up. Toei split the streaming rights by region. Crunchyroll secured Beerus exclusively for territories including Europe, the UK and Ireland, the Middle East, and Africa, with its simulcast kicking off October 11th. The United States is not in that bucket — here, Netflix is the home, and it lags the Crunchyroll and Japanese start by roughly six days.
That gap matters if you follow discussion online: episodes will be out and talked about internationally a week before they reach US Netflix, so spoiler-dodging is part of the deal until you catch the Saturday drop.
What arcs does the remake cover?
This is not a sequel. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is a rebuilt version of the original Dragon Ball Super anime, with brand-new and completely redrawn animation aimed at smoother, sharper action while staying faithful to Akira Toriyama’s story. The remake covers three of the show’s foundational arcs:
- Battle of Gods — Goku’s first encounter with Beerus, the God of Destruction, and the road to Super Saiyan God.
- Resurrection of F — the return of Frieza and his new transformation.
- Universe 6 — the tournament against Champa’s universe.
In other words, it is the opening stretch of Super, re-animated. If you bounced off the original 2015–2018 run because of its uneven animation, this is the version built to fix that complaint.
How to watch it in the US
You need a Netflix subscription — there is no separate purchase. Following the latest US price increase, Netflix runs $8.99 a month for Standard with ads, $19.99 for ad-free Standard, and $26.99 for Premium. All three carry the series; the higher tiers add better video quality and more simultaneous screens. Set a reminder for Saturday mornings and the new episode should be waiting.
