As revealed alongside the release date announcement, Classroom of the Elite season 3 will adapt the remainder of Year 1, which goes from volume 8 to 11.5. The remaining volumes of Year 1 comprise 43 chapters, which is twice the number of chapters in both season 1 and season 2 individually.
The first season ran for 12 episodes from July 12 to September 27, 2017, and the second season boasted 13 episodes from July 4 to September 26, 2022. Considering this information and the chapters slated for adaptation in the third installment, it’s anticipated that Classroom of the Elite season 3 might span 24 episodes and be structured as a split-cour season.
The anime has yet to reveal the episode count for season 3, but fans can anticipate more than the conventional 12-13 episodes. If the anime is limited to a 12-episode run, it could result in rushed storytelling, creating another juncture similar to the one where Studio Lerche faced criticism for animation errors.

About Classroom of the Elite
Crunchyroll has included seasons 1 and 2 of Classroom of the Elite in both English subbed and dubbed formats in its massive anime catalog for fans worldwide. Here’s how it describes the plot of the series:
"Kiyotaka Ayanokoji has just enrolled at Tokyo Koudo Ikusei Senior High School, where it's said that 100% of students go on to college or find employment. But he ends up in Class 1-D, which is full of all the school's problem children."
It continues:
"What's more, every month, the school awards students points with a cash value of 100,000 yen, and the classes employ a laissez-faire policy in which talking, sleeping, and even sabotage are permitted during class. One month later, Ayanokoji, Horikita, and the students of Class D learned the truth of the system in place within their school."
More details, including additional characters and their voice cast, the opening and the ending theme songs, and the episode count for Classroom of the Elite season 3, will be revealed in time.
