New episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will be released every Thursday, except for the double-episode premiere that will cover the Culling Game entries featured in Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution.

Here’s the current confirmed release schedule for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3:

The series will be available for streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll in regions including North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, India, and Southeast Asia.

While we anticipate it will eventually stream on Netflix, that won’t happen for a few years.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is expected to consist of 24-26 episodes, likely split into two halves of either 12 or 13 episodes. It’s still unclear if the Culling Game arc will take a break or continue into the second cour.
