Even though Solo Leveling ended a few months ago, it still continues to dominate, which just goes to show how impressive its popularity is. That said, all that has still not given the fans a confirmation on Solo Leveling Season 3’s release date, but the upcoming few months are going to be crucial.

Fans are eagerly waiting for Solo Leveling Season 3 and this surprises nobody. The series is incredibly popular, far bigger than any other right now, and it will only keep on growing in the upcoming months and years.

While fans don't have a confirmation on the release date of Solo Leveling Season 3, what they do know is that whenever it drops, it'll definitely come to Crunchyroll. This was confirmed by the Head of Theatrical & Distribution, Mitchel Berger:

“We just concluded Season 2, which did really well for us, so I'm sure there will be more content (Season 3) in the future. We're not sure exactly when, but it will be here (Crunchyroll) and fans will continue to see the story.” — Mitchel Berger

As mentioned above, Crunchyroll will get Solo Leveling Season 3 eventually. To be fair, fans don't even need a confirmation on this from anyone. Solo Leveling is so massive that a Season 3 not happening is practically impossible.

Solo Leveling Season 3 might be happening, but fans don't have an exact release date yet. That said, the next few weeks and months will be crucial in this regard. Solo Leveling Season 2 was announced immediately after the end of Season 1. This is because the project was likely already in the early stages of production. The fact that Solo Leveling Season 3 hasn't been announced yet only means that it won't be coming out in Winter 2026, like many had hoped. But that doesn't rule out a 2026 release.

“While thrilled with the response, I personally don't feel like the series is known by everyone at this point. Solo Leveling isn't as universally recognized in Japan yet. As a Japanese person living in Japan, the anime is not at the level of Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto. But if season three happens, that’s when I want to truly break that boundary.” — Atsushi Kaneko, A-1 Pictures

Fans Hope For A Late 2026 Release Date

Solo Leveling Season 3’s most likely release date will be late 2026, and in that case, fans will have to keep a close watch on the next few months. Now that the second half of the year is underway, fans will definitely see the Solo Leveling Season 3 announcement eventually, hopefully around a year or so before it actually drops, since that's how long its production will take.

Solo Leveling has two seasons out right now, one with 12 episodes, and the other with 13, for a combined episode count of 25 episodes available to watch right now. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll for fans to enjoy while awaiting any more news concerning the third season. For fans who can’t wait for season 3 to come out, checking out the Manhwa might be a great option.
