Black Clover Season 2 Reportedly Plans 26 Episodes To Finish The Manga
A 26-episode plan would put the sequel's runtime roughly in line with the 122 chapters still unadapted, which is the clearest sign yet of how far the production intends to carry the manga past the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc.

Black Clover Season 2 is reportedly set for 26 episodes split across two parts, with the first 13 covering the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc in 2026 and the remaining 13 planned for 2027 to adapt the Final Arc. About 122 manga chapters remain unadapted. The anime returns on Oct 3, 2026, after the original TV run stopped at Chapter 270 across 170 episodes.
The leak puts a number on what had been speculation since the sequel was announced. The first part runs 13 episodes in 2026 and covers the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc; the second 13, planned for 2027, would take on the Final Arc, with about 122 manga chapters left to adapt.
Ayataka Tanemura directs, after helming episodes 153 through 170 of the original series and the 2023 film. The original TV anime stopped at Chapter 270 across its 170 episodes, and the manga itself ran from February 2015 to a May 2026 conclusion at chapter 392.
