It was confirmed earlier this evening that the second season premiere of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is scheduled for 10:00 pm JST on Monday, January 5th, 2026, according to the official Twitter/X account for the anime, which also included a new trailer.

Streaming of the new episodes will follow the televised broadcast in Japan.
Crunchyroll, which is licensed to stream the series outside of Asia, describes the first season of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes as:
Koichi Haimawari is a dull college student who aspires to be a hero but has given up on his dream. Although 80% of the world’s population has superhuman powers called Quirks, few are chosen to become heroes and protect people. Everything changes for Koichi when he and Pop☆Step are saved by the vigilante Knuckleduster and get recruited to become vigilantes themselves!
