Episode 1180 aired on Fuji TV on September 27, 2026, and it was the last new One Piece episode of 2026. The official anime accounts confirmed it the same day: the next episode airs in 2027, with details on the broadcast schedule to follow. Source: Complex, reporting the official post.

There is no exact date for Episode 1181 yet. The anime countdown shows “2027 · Date TBA” until Toei names a day. Some sites guess late March or April 2027, because this year’s runs started in the spring. That is a guess, not an announcement, and we will not count down to it.

Why the break

Toei now makes at most 26 episodes a year to give the staff more time per episode. The anime already took a three-month break from January to March 2026. The Elbaf run that started in April ended on a cliffhanger at Episode 1180.
