When can I watch the Bleach Thousand Year War anime?
Bleach Thousand Year War is set to be released officially on October 11, 2022.

According to Anime Senpai, the episode was reportedly made available in New Zealand and Brazil for a brief moment, and some fans were able to download the episode before Disney pulled it from the platform.

Where can I watch Bleach Thousand Year War?
You can watch Bleach Thousand Year War on Disney+.
Some fans of Bleach were initially unsure of Disney housing the series, as they were concerned that Disney would water down the darker aspects of the show. However, the series seems too set in stone to be affected by the streaming platform.
The plot involves the Wandenreich, a secret group of the Quincy. A thousand years ago, the Quincy were defeated in a war against the Shinigami. In the fallout, they escaped and hid for years, but they’ve since been regaining their power.
The Wandenreich is now expected to attack the Soul Society, creating an all-out war between the Shinigami and the Quincy. And it’s up to the soul reaper protagonist Ichigo to save the Soul Society.
Needless to say, this is going to be an epic season, regardless of when or where it’s released.
