Fire Force Season 3 Episode 16 Release Date
Fire Force season 3 episode 16 is scheduled to release on Friday, January 30, 2026. By this point in the second cour, the story is deep into the final confrontations, so episode 16 is one of those “do not skip, even if the phone keeps buzzing” instalments.
The date also keeps the show locked into its comfortable Friday rhythm, which has quietly become anime night for a lot of viewers following multiple seasonal series at once.
There’s a nice familiarity to knowing that every Friday means a new dose of flames, Adolla links, and chaotic squad dynamics. The January 30 slot gives just enough breathing room after episode 15’s fallout, while still keeping the tension warm in everyone’s mind rather than letting hype cool off between big arcs.
Fire Force Season 3 Episode 16 Release Time
Episode 16 of Fire Force season 3 is set to drop at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET on Crunchyroll, with simulcast subs going live alongside the Japanese broadcast.
In the UK, that works out to around 5:30–6:00 p.m., landing perfectly in that after‑work, pre‑late‑night slot where a lot of fans squeeze in new episodes.
English dubs for season 3 generally arrive a little later, around 2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. ET, so dub‑first viewers are only waiting a short extra window instead of weeks.
Many fans have settled into a routine: subs on Friday if the cliff‑hanger looks brutal, then a calmer dub rewatch over the weekend to catch details missed in the initial rush.
How Many Episodes Are in Fire Force Season 3?
Fire Force season 3 is planned for 24 episodes in total, split across two cours. The first 12 episodes aired in 2025, and episodes 13–24 form the second half, running through early 2026 as the anime heads toward the endgame of the manga’s story.
This structure gives the series enough space to cover the big late‑stage arcs without feeling rushed, while still moving at a pace that rewards weekly watching. By the time episode 16 arrives, the second cour is already well past its setup phase and heading into serious payoff territory.
Where to Watch Fire Force Season 3?
Fire Force season 3 is available to stream on Crunchyroll in most regions, with episodes dropping there in tandem with the Japanese broadcast.
In the US and several other territories, the new season is also listed on Hulu, while regional availability on Netflix depends on local licensing and may lag behind the simulcast.
In Japan, the series airs on networks such as MBS and TBS within the Animeism programming block before heading to international platforms.
For anyone catching up, seasons 1 and 2 remain streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu, which makes it easy to binge through the earlier arcs before jumping into season 3’s more intense closing chapters.
About Fire Force Season 3
Fire Force season 3 adapts the later arcs of Atsushi Ohkubo’s manga, pushing Shinra Kusakabe and Company 8 into full confrontation with the Evangelist and the corruption inside the Tokyo Empire.
With the world edging closer to catastrophic ignition, the season leans into bigger battles, heavier lore, and the kind of moral choices that have been brewing since season 1.
Company 8 finds itself branded as traitors, forced to operate from the shadows while trying to rescue Captain Obi and expose the truth behind the grand plan for humanity.
Season 3 keeps the familiar mix of intense firefights, oddball humour, and surprisingly emotional character beats, but there’s a noticeable “final stretch” energy now – especially in these post‑episode‑12 stories, where an episode like 16 can quietly become a turning point instead of just another weekly mission.
