When does Black Clover Season 2 premiere? TV Tokyo locked an October 2026 debut — Ayataka Tanemura directs Asta's long-awaited TV return after the movie.
Current target date: Thursday, October 1, 2026 (Season 2 premiere). We update this page when studios or publishers move the window.
Black Clover Season 2 hits Japanese TV in October 2026. Tanemura, who steered the late first-run episodes and Sword of the Wizard King, is back in the chair. Crunchyroll is expected to simulcast — we count to October 1 until TV Tokyo posts the exact premiere night.

Season 2 is dated October 2026 — the sequel number finally exists on paper
TV Tokyo locked Black Clover Season 2 for an October 2026 debut. After a 170-episode first broadcast that never used tidy “Season 2” labeling mid-run, trackers can finally print a sequel season with a month. Pin October; refine the night when the network grid appears.
Tanemura already finished the old run and the movie — Season 2 is his TV chair
Ayataka Tanemura directed episodes 153–170 of the first series and Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King. Season 2 puts that same hand on the weekly Spade Kingdom push at Pierrot, which is why the comeback feels like a baton pass rather than a cold studio restart.

Sword of the Wizard King was the bridge project — Season 2 is the weekly return
The 2023 film kept Black Clover on screens while TV was dark. Season 2 is the different product searchers want when they type a numbered sequel: ongoing episodes, Spade Kingdom stakes, same Pierrot pipeline. Do not treat the movie’s home-video date as the October 2026 TV lock.
