The biggest theatrical anime of the last year is about to be a couch watch. Crunchyroll confirmed that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle — Akaza Sairai, the first film in the Infinity Castle trilogy, begins streaming worldwide on July 28, 2026 (excluding Japan and Mainland China), with a same-day digital purchase option on the major storefronts.
Quick answer Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle streams on Crunchyroll starting July 28, 2026, worldwide outside Japan and Mainland China, and is available to buy digitally the same day on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, and Fandango. Animated by ufotable, it adapts the opening stretch of the manga's Infinity Castle arc and is the first of three films. According to SenpaiRanks, the Demon Slayer film sits in the upper tier of its ranking board — it grossed roughly $740 million worldwide and won Best Animated Film at the 49th Japan Academy Film Prizes.
Where to watch it Crunchyroll is the streaming home on July 28. If you'd rather own it, the same-day digital release covers Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, and Fandango. Crunchyroll's slate carries a heavy dub lineup this time — English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Castilian Spanish, and more — so most regions get a native-language track, not just subtitles.
Why the numbers matter This isn't a normal streaming add. The film ran in Japanese theaters from July 2025 to April 2026 — 266 days — and sold about 98.5 million tickets for 117.9 billion yen, making it the second-highest-earning film in Japanese box-office history and one of the biggest anime films ever. The Crunchyroll drop is the first time the global audience can rewatch (or catch up) at home.
Here's the film's trailer:
The read Two more Infinity Castle films are still to come, so July 28 is the on-ramp for the arc that closes out the series. Per SenpaiRanks, ufotable's adaptation holds a strong Quality tier on the dual-axis board — Consensus and Quality tracked separately, unlike MyAnimeList's single score.
