The record-breaking anime film Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has taken theaters by storm, and fans are now eagerly awaiting its streaming debut. While an official date hasn’t been announced, industry patterns and previous Sony-Crunchyroll releases provide a strong estimate for when the movie will be available to watch at home.
The movie continues the story of Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps as they are drawn into the Infinity Castle for a final, desperate battle against Muzan Kibutsuji and his Upper Rank demons. It is the first film in a trilogy that will conclude the entire series.
Projected Streaming Release Date
Based on the release patterns of previous Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll anime films, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is expected to arrive on the Crunchyroll streaming platform between late January and mid-February 2026.
This estimate is drawn from recent theatrical-to-streaming gaps for other Sony-Crunchyroll films. The movie Spy x Family Code: White arrived on Crunchyroll about four and a half months after its theatrical debut. Similarly, Haikyu!! The Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump took exactly five months to move from theaters to streaming.
Another analysis of a different release, Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom, which had a five-and-a-half-month gap, suggests a potential streaming debut could even occur around early March 2026. The variation shows that while an early 2026 window is highly likely, the exact date is still to be confirmed by the studio.
Where to Stream the Movie
Upon its release, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle will stream exclusively on Crunchyroll. This aligns with Sony Pictures Entertainment’s strategy, as Crunchyroll is their dedicated anime streaming platform and the distributor of the film in North America.
The film will be available through Crunchyroll’s subscription service, which offers three tiers. The Fan tier costs $7.99 per month and provides ad-free access to its entire library. The Mega Fan tier is $11.99 per month and allows streaming on up to four devices simultaneously. The Ultimate Fan tier is $15.99 per month and includes offline viewing and streaming on up to six devices.
Current Box Office Success and Critical Acclaim
The anticipation for the streaming release is fueled by the film’s massive success in theaters. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle earned an estimated $70 million in its opening weekend in North America, setting a new record for the biggest domestic opening weekend for an anime film. This surpassed the 26-year record held by Pokémon: The First Movie.
Globally, the film has been a blockbuster, having already earned over $316 million. The movie has also received widespread critical and audience praise. It holds a 97% critic rating and a 99% audience score on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
How to Watch Previous Demon Slayer Content
For fans looking to catch up before the new film streams, the entire Demon Slayer series is available on several platforms. All seasons and previous movies are streaming on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix.
This includes Season 1, the Mugen Train movie and arc, the Entertainment District Arc, the Swordsmith Village Arc, and the most recent season, the Hashira Training Arc.
Waiting for the Next Installments
While the wait for the streaming release of Infinity Castle is several months away, fans may have a much longer wait for the story’s conclusion. The film is the first part of a trilogy that will end the saga. There has been no official announcement regarding the release dates for Part 2 and Part 3.
Some reports have suggested potential release windows in 2027 and 2029, but these are unconfirmed. The animation studio, Ufotable, is known for its high-quality production, and the first film reportedly took about three and a half years to make. This has led to speculation that the gaps between the trilogy films could be significant.
A recent major anime event, Aniplex Online Fest 2025, was seen as a potential place to announce news about the sequel but focused only on promoting the first film, indicating that official news on the next parts may still be a while away.
