Mark your calendars, Clover Kingdom. New information for the long-awaited return of the Black Clover TV anime is slated to drop during Jump Festa 2026 on Sunday, December 21 (JST). For clarity: despite the name “Jump Festa 2026,” the event itself takes place December 20–21, 2025 in Tokyo, and Black Clover is on the official lineup with a dedicated stage where fresh details are expected.
What’s being teased
Shueisha’s event program places Black Clover on the Jump Studio (Blue) stage—typically where returning or in-production series showcase trailers, key visuals, cast appearances, and production updates. Multiple outlets summarizing the official site highlight Black Clover’s presence on December 21, signaling this is the moment fans have been waiting for.
Why this matters
The TV anime paused in 2021 after 170 episodes and a 2023 feature film, and momentum has been building for a full return. With Jump Festa historically serving as a launchpad for premiere windows and staff reveals, a December 21 segment strongly hints at concrete Season 2 news—think teaser footage, a release window, and staff/cast confirmations.
When and where to watch
Jump Festa runs across two days with consecutive stage streams from Japan. The official timetable lists Black Clover on day two; fans should keep an eye on the Jump Festa site and official social channels as the event approaches for stream links and exact JST times.
The bigger picture
This year’s festival lineup is stacked—BLEACH, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, One Piece, and more share top billing across Red and Blue stages—so positioning Black Clover on day two puts it squarely in front of the shonen faithful when attention peaks. If Pierrot and the committee are ready to roll out materials, Jump Festa is where they’ll do it. ComicBook.com
