On Monday, July 7, 2025, the Black Clover anime return date received a new update from Crunchyroll. The anime streaming platform has now removed its 2026 release window from its official trailer's description. This means the anime's new return date could be delayed even further.

Black Clover, written and illustrated by Yuki Tabata, is a Japanese manga that was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and later moved to Jump GIGA magazine. The television anime produced by Studio Pierrot concluded in March 2021 with 170 episodes, and a sequel season has now been announced.

On Monday, July 7, Crunchyroll's YouTube channel updated the description for the official trailer of Black Clover, removing its 2026 release window and effectively making the anime's return date tentative.

Earlier, the official trailer's description read:

"A new saga begins! Black Clover Second Season is coming to Crunchyroll in 2026! Watch Black Clover on Crunchyroll!"

As fans likely noticed, while all other pages and platforms announced that the anime was "coming soon" to Crunchyroll, the streaming platform's YouTube channel stated that the anime was scheduled to return in 2026.

While fans were elated by the anime's 2026 return window, they also expressed caution, as a quick production might result in low-quality animation. Because of this, many fans preferred the return to be delayed until late fall 2026 or even later.

Amidst all this, the staff of the anime streaming platform updated the description of the official trailer. The new description reads as follows:

"A new saga begins! Black Clover Second Season is coming to Crunchyroll! Watch Black Clover on Crunchyroll!"

With this change, Crunchyroll has left fans wondering whether the previously hinted 2026 return for the anime was only tentative and not meant to be teased so early.

Now, depending on Studio Pierrot’s production schedule, viewers might see the Black Clover anime return to TV as early as late 2026 or early 2027. However, if the studio chooses to prioritize higher-quality animation, the comeback could be pushed back even further.

Hopefully, Shueisha will share more details about the Black Clover anime's return in the upcoming Jump GIGA Summer 2025 magazine.
