My Hero Academia Season 8 English Dub Set for October 18 Release

The eagerly awaited English dub of the eighth season of My Hero Academia will debut on October 18, 2025, according to an announcement from streaming platform Crunchyroll. This news comes after the original Japanese version premiered on October 4, 2023, leaving English-speaking fans in suspense. The release marks a two-week delay between the Japanese and English versions, a trend expected to continue throughout the season.

Despite initial disappointment over the absence of a simultaneous release, Crunchyroll’s confirmation provides a clear date for fans to anticipate. While the platform has not yet specified the exact release time for the English dub, it is likely to follow a similar schedule to the original episodes, which air at 2:30 AM Pacific Time (PT) or 10:30 AM British Summer Time (BST). This suggests that viewers in the UK can expect the dub to be available later in the morning.

Weekly Episode Releases and Fan Expectations

Fans can look forward to weekly releases for the English dub, mirroring the schedule of the Japanese version. This consistency will allow audiences to engage with the ongoing war arc without prolonged gaps between episodes. The first eleven episodes of Season 8 are expected to follow this weekly format, keeping the excitement alive through the climactic finale.

A significant draw for the English dub is the returning cast of voice actors, who will reprise their roles for this final season. The beloved ensemble, known for their memorable performances, will bring depth and familiarity to the characters as they navigate the series’ ultimate showdown.

The anticipation surrounding the final season is palpable, as fans prepare to witness the culmination of years of storytelling and character development. With Crunchyroll’s announcement, viewers can mark their calendars and prepare to experience the thrilling conclusion of My Hero Academia in English.
