Every week since the first episode in October 1999. Each square is one week: a new episode, a week without one, or a planned break between batches of episodes. Complete through episode 1180 (27 Sept 2026).
Planned break after episode 1180
The episodes for 2026 are done; new episodes return in 2027.
Episode 1181: no date yet
Toei Animation has only said that new episodes return in 2027. Checked 9 October 2026.
Rows are calendar years and columns are the weeks of the year, Monday to Sunday. The two right-hand columns count the episodes of that year and the weeks without one. Point at a square, or tap it, to see the episode and its date.
Arcs follow the One Piece Wiki, with the names used in the manga chart. Arcs marked anime only are not in the manga. A week without an episode is counted with the arc of the episode that followed it, and a single special in the middle of an arc is counted with that arc. Point at a row to find the arc in the chart.

1,180 as of 9 October 2026, counting the numbered episodes of the TV series. Recap specials and films are not counted.
Since the first episode on 20 October 1999 there have been 1,408 weeks, and 251 of them (17.8%) had no new episode. 39 of those were planned breaks; the rest were single weeks or short gaps, usually because another programme took the slot.
24 weeks, from 14 October 2024 to 30 March 2025: an announced break in the middle of the Egghead arc. The longest stretch without any gap was 33 weeks, from 17 March 2019 to 27 October 2019.
On average 44.1 in a full year (2000 to 2025). The most was 50, in 2014; the fewest was 33, in 2025. Since 2026 the anime follows a new schedule of about 26 episodes a year, so 2026 has 25 so far.
Every episode's air date was taken from three independent lists and compared one by one. A date is used only when at least two of them agree.
