‘One Piece’ Episode 1180 Release Date, Time, and Where to Watch
The Elbaf Arc is in full swing, and fans are already asking when the next ‘One Piece‘ episode arrives. A release tracker lists it for Sunday, September 27, 2026, one week after the episode airing September 20. That keeps the anime on its steady weekly rhythm.
Whether you watch live or catch up later, the details matter, especially with two streamers carrying the series on different days. Here is everything you need to know about this ‘One Piece’ episode, from the release date to the best place to stream it.
‘One Piece’ Episode Release Date
The tracker shows the previous episode aired on September 13, with the September 20 installment next and the following episode set for September 27. That places the new episode exactly two Sundays after the most recent broadcast. Fans have grown used to a predictable pattern.
The Elbaf schedule points to new installments roughly every seven days. New episodes arrive every Sunday on Crunchyroll, with Netflix following on the next Saturday.
There is one caveat worth remembering. The anime takes occasional breaks around Japanese holidays and special broadcasts. Nothing in the schedule I found suggests a pause this time, but it is worth checking the official listings if you plan your week around it.
Release Time Across Time Zones
In Japan, the episode is expected to air around 11.15 p.m. JST on Sunday through Fuji TV and its affiliated networks. The tracker’s listing for the previous Sunday matches that slot, showing 2.16 p.m. UTC. That is the anchor every other region works from.
For international fans, the Crunchyroll simulcast is the easiest way in. A recent Crunchyroll release landed at 7.15 a.m. Pacific and 10.15 a.m. Eastern, which worked out to 3.15 p.m. in the UK. Viewers in Central Europe should expect a similar early evening window.
Not every outlet agrees on the exact minute. Another listing describes Crunchyroll’s Sunday simulcast as starting at 9 a.m. Pacific. Checking your local Crunchyroll listing on the morning of the release is the safest move.
Where to Watch?
Crunchyroll carries the series for paid subscribers across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. If you live in one of those regions, that is where you will see the episode first.
Netflix is the fallback for everyone else. Viewers outside those territories, or without a Crunchyroll membership, can watch the Elbaf Arc on Netflix on a slight delay. Netflix streams the same episodes six days later on Saturday, giving Crunchyroll almost a full week of near exclusivity.
There is also a bigger streaming story on the horizon. Wit Studio’s full remake, called ‘The One Piece,’ is currently set for February 2027 on Netflix. The Toei series keeps airing weekly alongside it, so the remake is an addition rather than a replacement.
Streaming Schedule and Where the Elbaf Arc Stands
The Elbaf Arc is set to run 26 episodes, split into two parts of 13 episodes each. The series is also slowing down in 2026, returning to a schedule of 26 episodes per year instead of the usual 40 or 50. That explains why every weekly drop feels like more of an event than it used to.
The story itself is building toward something big. The episode airing September 13 finally shifted the situation in Elbaf, and Gaban now stands between the Holy Knights and the island. That sets up a tense stretch for the giants and their children.
With the release date, time, and streaming options sorted, all that is left is the wait. Can Gaban truly hold off the Knights of God long enough to protect Elbaf’s children, or will the Straw Hats have to swoop in and rescue the day, and does that make you more excited for the weekend?
