My Hero Academia: Vigilantes S2 Drops on Crunchyroll in 2026
Curious about when My Hero Academia: Vigilantes returns? Find out the full episode schedule, release dates, and where to catch every new instalment of season 2 in Australia.
Fans of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes have something to look forward to as the much-loved spin-off returns for its second season. After the emotional finale of the main series last month, this prequel set half a decade earlier is back to keep the universe alive and kicking. The first season, which landed last year, gave the franchise a fresh twist, leaning into the oddball side of things. Adapted from Hideyuki Furuhashi’s manga with Betten Court’s illustrations, the story follows Koichi Haimawari, a uni student who moonlights as an unlicensed hero, operating outside the official system.
The second season is set to kick off on 5 January 2026, with the first episode dropping at 5:00 AM Pacific and 8:00 AM Eastern. For those in the UK, that’s 1:00 PM GMT. If you’re elsewhere, best to check a time zone converter to avoid missing out.

What to Expect This Season
This new batch of episodes matches the first season’s count, coming in at 13. That’s a fair bit shorter than the main show’s usual 25-episode run, except for the last season, which was trimmed down. Still, there’s plenty packed into each episode, with the focus staying on the underground world of unlicensed heroes and the challenges they face outside the official hero system.
Koichi and his crew are set to take on new threats, all while dodging the authorities and trying to do the right thing in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. The show’s offbeat humour and unique take on heroics have made it a favourite among punters who like their anime a bit left of centre.
Where to Watch in Australia
For those keen to catch every episode as it drops, the only place to watch My Hero Academia: Vigilantes season 2 is on Crunchyroll, at least for viewers in the US. Aussies will want to check local streaming options or Crunchyroll’s regional availability to make sure they don’t miss out on the action.
