Shangri-La Frontier season 3 premieres on Sunday 10 January 2027 and will run for two consecutive cours, which takes it through both the winter and spring 2027 anime seasons. Crunchyroll will stream it. Here is what is confirmed.
Shangri-La Frontier season 3 premiere date and time
In Japan the season starts on 10 January at 5:00 pm JST on MBS, TBS and 26 affiliated channels, which is 1:30 pm in India. Crunchyroll has confirmed it will stream the new episodes outside Japan, but its exact global streaming time and the episode count have not been announced yet.
Because the run covers two cours, the season will continue for about six months without a break.
Staff and cast
Studio C2C produces the season. Toshiyuki Kubooka returns as chief director, and Hiro Oki directs. The cast from season 2 returns. The series adapts Katarina’s web novel, with manga art by Ryosuke Fuji.
What season 3 covers
The new season continues directly from season 2. A trailer pointed to the Galaxia Heroes: Chaos arc, a fighting game in which the team has to take on Star Rain, described as the best professional team in the United States.
Early screening
Crunchyroll will screen the season 3 premiere at Anime Frontier in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday 6 December, as part of the convention’s 4 to 6 December programme. That is a US event, so Indian viewers will not be able to attend, but it shows the production is on track for January.
How to catch up
Season 1 aired from October 2023 to March 2024, and season 2 premiered in October 2024. Earlier episodes stream on Crunchyroll, though availability can differ by region, so check your listing in India.

- The total number of episodes.
- The exact Crunchyroll release time for India.
