As BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity enters the anime’s final cour, ABEMA is bringing the series’ story together through a limited-time free channel.
ABEMA will launch its first dedicated BLEACH channel on July 25, 2026, at 6 p.m., offering the full TV anime series—from BLEACH through the third cour of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War—free every day until August 15 at 6 p.m. The final cour begins broadcasting on TV Tokyo and other stations on July 25 at 11 p.m.
The latest episodes will also stream free on ABEMA for one week from July 30, every Thursday at midnight, with additional free broadcasts on the ABEMA Anime Channel from July 31, every Friday at 26:30. The anime series has produced more than 360 episodes since its 2004 debut, alongside four feature films.
For viewers revisiting Ichigo Kurosaki’s battles or catching up before the concluding cour, the channel offers a continuous way to follow the anime’s long-running story and its final chapter.
AniHeat's take: Worth noting for fans who want a full-series refresher or prefer free viewing: ABEMA provides daily access to the anime alongside weekly availability for the final cour.
