Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Lands on Netflix Worldwide on July 22
Jujutsu Kaisen fans who do not use Crunchyroll finally have a date to circle. Season 3, titled The Culling Game Part 1, arrives on Netflix worldwide on July 22, 2026, and it brings one of the most talked about stretches of the series to the platform where most casual viewers already live.
The season first aired in January 2026, opening with a one hour special that covered the first two episodes. Until now it sat behind a Crunchyroll simulcast, so plenty of people followed it through clips and reactions without an easy way to watch for themselves. That ends on July 22, and the English dub arrives alongside the worldwide drop.
What the Culling Game arc is about
The Culling Game is the kind of high pressure story Jujutsu Kaisen does best. After the wreckage of Shibuya, Kenjaku sets a nationwide battle royale in motion, sealing sorcerers and cursed spirits inside marked off zones under rules that reward killing. Yuji and Megumi are pulled straight into it, and one goal sits under every fight: finding a way to free Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm. If you want the full background on how Kenjaku maneuvered everyone into this corner, we broke it down in Gojo Satoru’s master plan.
It is a darker, more tactical stretch than the tournament style arcs before it. Raw power does not carry anyone through on its own, and the season leans into rules, gambles, and the real cost of every choice.
Part 1 covers the opening run of the Culling Game, setting up the colonies, the point system, and the new players who step in once the rules go live. It moves fast, and it rewards anyone who still remembers the threads left hanging after Shibuya.
Why the Netflix release matters
The short answer is reach. Netflix puts the season in front of the general audience that never opened Crunchyroll, and Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the few titles big enough to turn a catalog add into a genuine event. A worldwide same day release with an English dub is exactly the kind of rollout that pulls lapsed fans back and gives newcomers a clean place to start.
If you are catching up, it is a good time to revisit where the story has been before the new episodes land. You can find more in our anime news section.
For everyone who has been waiting to watch this properly, July 22 is the day.
My take: The Culling Game is where Jujutsu Kaisen stops being a tournament show and turns into something colder and smarter, and putting it on Netflix worldwide is the right call. More people should get to meet this arc on its own terms, not through a scroll of spoilers.
