The One Piece anime is expected to air up to 26 episodes in 2026, but there may be changes to its broadcast schedule. Some outlets suggest that the anime will no longer be released on a weekly basis, potentially starting with the Elbaf Arc in 2026, while others imply that a hiatus is planned. The nature and implications of these changes are unclear, with some outlets speculating about the end of an era for the anime or a potential solution to one of the show's major issues.
