Mashle season 3 is all set to start its journey on Crunchyroll in January, and its release date was confirmed on Wednesday. The officially dubbed MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES The Tri-Magicathlon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc will premiere on January 9, 2027. The announcement also contained a new trailer, key visual, and the casting of two new Walkis villains.
No episode count was disclosed, and neither was the Crunchyroll simulcast time, an English dub, or any anime-original material; nothing in the trailer or press materials hinted at original content, and Hajime Komoto has not commented publicly.
Mashle season 3 final exam arc gets a date, a trailer and a pair of Walkis villains
Aniplex chose November 11, Mash's birthday, to announce that Mashle season 3 will air at 24:00 JST on Saturday, January 9 (effectively midnight on Sunday, January 10) on Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV and Tochigi TV. Crunchyroll will be simulcasting the season worldwide outside Japan and China, non-exclusively in Southeast Asia and exclusively in India.
At the same presentation, they showed the first full promotional video, cut from footage from Mashle season 3, along with a key visual that pits Easton Magic Academy students against Walkis Magic School, plus character visuals for Mash, Finn, Lance, Dot, and Lemon. Chiaki Kobayashi (Mash Burnedead), Reiji Kawashima (Finn Ames), Kaito Ishikawa (Lance Crown), Takuya Eguchi (Dot Barrett), Reina Ueda (Lemon Irvine), and Hiroaki Hirata (Narrator) resume their roles from previous seasons.
Two new characters were named as Walkis students. Soma Saito (Kenshin Himura inRurouni Kenshin, Hyoma Chigiri in Blue Lock) will voice Domina Blowelive, and Ryota Suzuki (Yu Ishigami in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War) will voice Lévis Rosequartz. Saito said recording had already begun and that “extremely stimulating exchanges” played out every episode (translated from Japanese). Suzuki said the studio was welcoming enough that he had to check he was not a returning cast member.

What the remaining chapters suggest for Mashle season 3
Hajime Komoto's manga ended at chapter 162 in July 2023, collected in 18 volumes. Season 2 stopped around chapter 74, leaving 88 chapters in the final 10 volumes; the first two seasons covered 36 to 38 chapters each in 12 episodes, roughly three per episode.
A 12-episode third season should land near chapter 110, enough to cover the exam arc from chapters 75 to about 102. The first two seasons aired nine months apart, so this is the longest wait of the series. Given that this is the penultimate arc of the series, the final arc can be expected in a fourth season.
