It is one of the most unexpected returns in anime, with Dragon Ball Super once again gracing our screens this fall. Now, we know the official Dragon Ball Super: Beerus release date as well as what Toei Animation plans to do to promote the series when they arrive at New York Comic Con 2026. Plus, there are some heavy hints that the remastered series will go far beyond the Battle of Gods arc from the anime.

The release date for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is October 11, 2026, but there is a little treat for those planning to attend New York Comic Con 2026. Toei Animation is attending that convention and is hosting a panel on October 8, where they will give fans an advance screening of the first episode as well as a couple of goodies at the door.

Along with the press release, we got a new trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, which includes plenty of footage from the Resurrection F arc from the anime and even into the Universe 6 Tournament arc that follows it. Despite its name, it seems that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is going to encompass much more than just the Battle of Gods arc. Toei could be aiming to give the entire Dragon Ball Super anime a refresh, which honestly sounds like a great idea to us.

The Dragon Ball Super: Beerus release date is October 11, 2026, though as we said, fans at New York Comic Con will have the chance to see the first episode a few days early.
