In the United States, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba fans can watch the Infinity Castle film a few days earlier than its official release date. Instead of waiting till September 12, the film will have limited screenings in over 250 theaters on September 9, 2025. Crunchyroll and Fandango have partnered to offer advance tickets exclusively to Crunchyroll Ultimate Fan or Mega Fan subscribers. The tickets will be accessible for purchase starting on August 15 at 6:00 a.m. PT on the Fandango reward platform.
However, fans will have to do the necessary Crunchyroll subscription verifications before purchasing the tickets.

Will Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Trilogy Be Released on Crunchyroll?
Infinity Castle Movie Might Be Accessible on Crunchyroll Sometime in 2026
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Chapter 1: Akaza Returns is set to be released internationally under Crunchyroll through Sony Pictures. Meanwhile, Toho and Aniplex have distributed the movie in Japan. However, it has not been officially confirmed when or if the trilogy will eventually be accessible for streaming on Crunchyroll. But it is still possible to make an educated guess based on the past release patterns.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train has been accessible for streaming on Crunchyroll for years. Originally released in Japan on October 16, 2020, the film wasn’t accessible for streaming on the popular platform until October 4, 2021. It’s highly likely that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Chapter 1: Akaza will also follow the same pattern and will probably be accessible on Crunchyroll sometime in 2026.
Interestingly, Infinity Castle Parts 2 and 3 are already confirmed to release in 2027 and 2029, respectively. This makes the release window of 2026 seem even more plausible. However, fans will have to wait for an official confirmation to learn the exact dates.
