Bleach fans who cannot go to the theaters don't have to feel sad, as the anime will begin airing in July 2026. So they will likely have to wait for a week or two at max.
The episode count for the final cour of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has not been disclosed yet, but it will likely have 13 episodes. There's also a chance that the finale will be longer, as it will be the last episode of the Bleach anime.

Thankfully, the anime will give him the opportunity to give Ichigo and the rest of the characters a proper sendoff.
