At Jump Festa 2026, Netflix finally confirmed the official release date for STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, the highly anticipated anime adaptation of the seventh part of Hirohiko Araki‘s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series.

Bound together by hidden motives and the pursuit of a massive $50 million USD grand prize, the pair embark on a perilous journey across the American wilderness.

STEEL BALL RUN will premiere on Netflix on March 19, 2026, with a special 47-minute extended episode titled “1st STAGE”.
