One Piece Manga Release Schedule (2026): When Do the New Chapters Come Out?

The One Piece manga isn’t miraculously coming to an end in 2026. The ongoing Elbaf arc will be extended throughout this year, and we still have a long way to go, so buckle up! As in any other year, the One Piece manga is set to take multiple breaks in 2026. So if you are looking for a definitive guide to the release dates of the new chapters of the One Piece manga, check out the One Piece manga release schedule 2026 here.

How Many Chapters Will One Piece Have in 2026?

Since Loki‘s flashback ended last year, author Eiichiro Oda has turned his attention to the ongoing war between the giants and the God’s Knights, who have invaded Elbaf. This war is expected to last throughout the whole year. In recent years, Oda has been able to deliver only 30-35 chapters per year, as the break period has slightly increased over time.

Therefore, we expect the One Piece manga to have at least 35 chapters in 2026, in line with the previous year. Even Oda has promised to move his manga at a faster pace this year. So, let’s see if the One Piece manga can survive without being hurt by multiple breaks in 2026.

The story will be moving at a breakneck speed, but since I’ve aged much to my chagrin, I’ll take the liberty of maintaining my own health as we continue sailing next year at the fastest ONE PIECE speed. Festivities ahead! Get ready for a spectacular year!

What Is the Schedule for One Piece Manga 2026?

We can expect at least 35 chapters this year; however, do keep in mind that the release schedule is always subject to change, as Oda has taken additional breaks every year. That said, here is the complete release schedule of the One Piece manga for 2026.

Will One Piece Elbaf Arc End in 2026?

With a new year commencing, everyone has started wondering whether the ongoing Elbaf arc will be wrapped up in 2026. After all the lengthy God Valley incident flashback featuring King Harald and Rocks D. Xebec has ended, Oda can now fully concentrate on the conflict between the giants and Imu.

During Jump Festa 2026, Oda revealed the possibility of the Straw Hats visiting the final island in 2026, which only the Pirate King’s crew has been to. Moreover, Oda won’t drag on the trigger to the final war for too long, and so the Elbaf arc will definitely be concluded in 2026. We predict that the Elbaf arc may be wrapped up in the final months of 2026, so Oda can tease the next adventure for next year in 2026.

That said, when do you think the Elbaf arc will be concluded in the manga? Let us know in the comments below.
