Dragon Ball Daima episode 1 is released on Crunchyroll on October 11. The premiere will then hit Netflix “globally” a week later on October 18. The exact release time hasn’t yet been confirmed, though we expect it to be announced imminently.
The episode airs in Japan at 11:40pm local time on October 11. As such, we can make a confident prediction that it won’t be available on streaming until 7:30 AM Pacific/10:30 AM Eastern/2:30 PM BST at the absolute earliest.
The first three episodes of the English dub will also be available for a limited time only in cinemas from November 10-12. Presumably, new episodes will follow for the English dub in November.

Given the nature of anime, there’s unlikely to be an official episode count for Dragon Ball Daima until long into the show’s run. Still, there are whispers that the series will run for 20 episodes, which is a significant drop-off from other Dragon Ball shows such as Dragon Ball Z (291 episodes) and the more recent Dragon Ball Super (131 episodes).
