Crunchyroll has just unveiled an exciting treat for your autumn calendar.
On September 21, 2026, the streaming giant will host its latest 'Crunchyroll Anime Nights Sneak Peek' in theaters.
This special, one-night-only event kicks off at 7:00 PM local time across more than 280 locations in the United States and Canada, including popular chains like AMC, Regal, and Cineplex.
Attendees will get the exclusive chance to watch the premiere episodes of five highly anticipated fall 2026 anime titles—including Black Clover Season 2, OVERGEARED, and Firefly Wedding—weeks before they hit the streaming platform in October.
All episodes will be presented in their original Japanese audio with English subtitles, offering an authentic experience.
This initiative is part of the ongoing 'Crunchyroll Anime Nights' program, a monthly collaboration between Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment designed to bring special screenings to the big screen.
If you want to secure your seat for this early look, tickets are already on sale via Fandango and official theater websites.
