Where to Watch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle (Streaming 2026)

Here’s the short answer: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle I starts streaming on Crunchyroll on July 28, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. PT, worldwide except Japan, Mainland China and — per the UK announcement — France. The same day, it lands on Netflix across much of Asia (not Japan, Mainland China or India) and goes on sale digitally on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube and Fandango at Home. After a record 266-day theatrical run, this is the first time the highest-grossing anime film ever can legally be watched at home. Every claim below is checked against the official announcement and at least one independent report, as of July 2026.

Exact release time in your time zone

Crunchyroll confirmed a simultaneous global unlock at 8:00 a.m. Pacific on Monday, July 28:

Netflix’s drop in Asia may not follow the exact same clock — Taiwanese media report 11:00 p.m. local on July 28, which matches the global unlock — so if you don’t see it at midnight, check again in the morning.

Where it streams, region by region

Three regional quirks worth knowing:

• India is excluded from the Netflix deal, but Crunchyroll India gets the film day one with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs, per the official language list.
• Japan sits this one out entirely: the film hits Blu-ray/DVD there on July 29, 2026 (per Aniplex), and no Japanese streaming date has been announced.
• France is named as excluded in the UK press release — French SVOD release windows are heavily regulated, so a later date there is normal. Francophones in Belgium, Switzerland and Canada do get the French dub on Crunchyroll on day one.

Dubs and subtitles available at launch

This is one of the widest day-one language rollouts Crunchyroll has done, per Anime News Network:

• Audio (14 dubs + original): Japanese, English, Latin American Spanish, Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai and Polish.
• Subtitles: English, Latin American Spanish, Castilian Spanish, Brazilian and European Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Polish, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Malay.

Korean isn’t on Crunchyroll’s list because Korea is served by Netflix, which localizes separately. Turkish is notably absent — Turkish viewers will likely watch with English subs at launch.

Buying it digitally instead

If you’d rather own the film than subscribe, digital purchase opens the same day — July 28 — on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube and Fandango at Home in North America and select territories. Forbes reports pricing at about $19.99 to buy (rental around $14.99); pre-orders opened July 4. Treat exact prices as at-time-of-writing and check your local store.

The film in 60 seconds

Infinity Castle I (155 minutes, ufotable, directed by Haruo Sotozaki) is the first of a three-film trilogy ending the series, adapting the manga’s final battle from the moment the Hashira are dragged into Muzan’s fortress. It closed its theatrical run as the highest-grossing anime film of all time — about $800 million worldwide (¥118 billion) on 98.5 million tickets — and earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Animated Feature. It continues directly from the Hashira Training arc finale, so if you’re not caught up, the four TV seasons come first — our 2026 anime ranking has the full catch-up context. Fair warning for families: the US release is rated R for bloody violence.

Watch order: what to see before Infinity Castle

The film assumes you’re fully caught up. The fastest route, in release order:

1. Demon Slayer Season 1 (2019)
2. Mugen Train — the film (or its 7-episode TV cut)
3. Season 2 — Entertainment District Arc
4. Season 3 — Swordsmith Village Arc
5. Season 4 — Hashira Training Arc (2024)
6. Then this film: Infinity Castle I

Part 2: what we actually know

Nothing is officially dated. Reporting (CBR) points to 2027 at the earliest for Infinity Castle II, and Aniplex has announced no title or window. Any specific date circulating on social media is speculation — we’ll update this page when a real announcement lands.

A note on regional catalogs: anime licensing is sold country by country, which is exactly why this film is on Crunchyroll in one place, Netflix in another, and nowhere in a third. If you travel or live abroad and want to keep using the streaming subscriptions you already pay for, our anime VPN guide explains how regional access works — and our Netflix anime library comparison shows how different each country’s catalog really is. Availability can shift after launch, so double-check the app in your country before subscribing.
