Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has taken the world by storm, dominating global box offices and smashing records to become the highest-grossing anime movie of all time, overtaking its predecessor Mugen Train. Released on July 18 in Japan and September 12 in the U.S., the film has already raked in over $555 million worldwide, cementing its place as an anime phenomenon.
The movie, crafted with Ufotable’s signature breathtaking visuals, is a cinematic spectacle. While some critics point to pacing issues caused by frequent flashbacks, the intense battles and artistic brilliance make Infinity Castle Part 1 an unforgettable big-screen experience. Yet with theaters still buzzing, fans are now eagerly asking: when will the film be available to stream at home?
What We Know About a Streaming Release
At this point, there has been no official announcement about when Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 will drop on any streaming service. But looking at past Demon Slayer releases gives us some clues.
- Mugen Train hit theaters in October 2020 and arrived on Crunchyroll on June 22, 2021 — roughly eight months later.
- The more recent To the Hashira Training compilation film followed a similar eight-month window before becoming available to stream.
That said, Infinity Castle is a much bigger standalone project, not just a bridge between seasons like Hashira Training. The timeline may vary depending on whether Ufotable or Aniplex choose to adapt it into episodic form for television later, as was done with Mugen Train.
Possible Timeline for Home Release
If the studios follow the same pattern, fans could reasonably expect Infinity Castle Part 1 to arrive on Crunchyroll (and possibly Blu-ray/DVD) about six to eight months after its theatrical debut. That would put the likely streaming release sometime in early to mid-2026. There’s also a chance the turnaround could be faster given the movie’s massive success and global demand.
What to Watch in the Meantime
If waiting feels unbearable, fans can dive back into the entire Demon Slayer series, already streaming on Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu.
For something similar:
- Jujutsu Kaisen offers equally jaw-dropping battles against cursed spirits.
- Vinland Saga provides a grounded, historical epic with intense characters and emotional storytelling.
Until we get official word, all we can do is speculate — but one thing is certain: when Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle finally lands on streaming, it will be an event no fan will want to miss.
