The Dragon Ball Super anime remake was officially announced earlier this year at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event. The new series will begin with a remaster of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, before transitioning into a remake of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. Both anime are scheduled to release Fall 2026, which could mean anything from September 22 to December 21. However, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has recently revealed official merchandise set to release October 2026.
Dragon Ball is a franchise that always synergizes its merchandise with anime and movie releases. If official Dragon Ball Super: Beerus branded merch is releasing in October, it means the anime will release in the same window. Dragon Ball was one of Toei's biggest money-makers last year, earning the company $134.2 million. An early Fall release for the anime remake would allow Toei to capitalize on Dragon Ball Super's popularity into the end of 2026. Prominent Dragon Ball leakers like Geekdom101 have also corroborated Beerus October release window.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Will Premiere This October
The soft reveal of Dragon Ball Super's October 2026 comeback comes from X user @Baggie_Saiyan, whose account is dedicated to sharing news about upcoming anime merchandise. Around 3am EST on May 15, 2026, @Baggie_Saiyan shared images and release months of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus branded figures for Beerus and Whis. Beerus and Whis will release as part of Banpresto's Solid Edge Works series, a set of highly detailed PVC figures designed to bring the Dragon Ball anime to life with prestige quality.
Dragon Ball merchandise often comes out months after movies and arcs are released, but virtually never before. The fact Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has branded figures of the new remake's two most prominent characters set to release this October is a sure sign that the Dragon Ball Super anime remake will air this October. This also means we're likely close to an official release date confirmation from Toei themselves.

The Fall 2026 anime season will officially begin on October 11, 2026, which falls on a Sunday – the day Dragon Ball Super used to air between 2015 and 2018. NYCC 2026 will also end on October 11, making it the perfect venue to air Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1 in front of a live audience. X user @SebastinPortals, who regularly covers Dragon Ball, stands by the fact that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will premiere on October 11, 2026.
The Dragon Ball Super Remake is Rumored to Only Cover the First Three Sagas
While Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is set to release sometime in October, all signs point to the anime prematurely ending in early to mid 2027 following the end of the Universe 6 Saga. It was leaked last month that the Dragon Ball Super: Beerus staff have left the production team in order to work on Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, the upcoming anime which will adapt the Moro Saga from Toyotarou's Dragon Ball Super manga.
Dragon Ball: 12 Strongest Characters Who Rival Beerus, Ranked
Beerus is the strongest God of Destruction in Dragon Ball, but he now has quite a few powerful rivals ready for a rematch once the manga returns.
Up to this point, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus' production team only made it to the end of the Tournament of Destroyers before leaving the project. This means that the Dragon Ball Super anime remake could very well end with Goku's fight with Hit. The upside is that Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol could end up releasing in the second half of 2027 instead of 2028, but new fans jumping onto the Dragon Ball Super remake will need to watch the Goku Black Saga and Tournament of Power in the original anime in order to get the full story.
