The Dragon Ball Super: Beerus English dub premieres today, November 12, exclusively on Crunchyroll at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT, starting with Episode 1 and continuing weekly every Thursday. The original English cast returns for the job: Sean Schemmel, Christopher Sabat, Jason Douglas and Ian Sinclair are back as Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Whis.
Crunchyroll confirmed the release window on November 5, and as of this morning it’s live, 32 days after the subtitled version’s October 11, 2026 premiere in Japan. Here’s the part dub-only fans won’t love: by the time English finally catches up to Episode 1, the subtitled version is already five episodes deep into the story. The gap between the two feeds is the whole story today, and it doesn’t close for a while.
How Far Behind the Dub Actually Is
Crunchyroll and Hulu run the Japanese audio with English subtitles every Sunday, the same day it airs in Japan. The English dub runs on a separate, slower clock: Thursdays only, starting today with Episode 1, four days after Episode 5 of the subtitled version already aired on November 8.
| Feed | Day | Where Things Stand Today (Nov. 12) |
|---|---|---|
| Subtitled (Japanese audio) | Sundays | Episode 5 aired Nov. 8; Episode 6 lands Nov. 15 |
| English dub | Thursdays | Episode 1 premieres today, then weekly from here |
| Spanish / Portuguese dubs | Thursdays | Launch alongside the English dub today |
Do the math and the dub never fully closes that gap on a weekly schedule; it trails the subtitled feed by roughly a month for the rest of the season. If that’s going to bother you, the subtitled version is sitting right there on the same app. If you’d rather hear Sean Schemmel’s Goku, today’s the day to start, gap and all.
The Voice Cast Has Been Doing This Since the Funimation Days
None of the four leads are new to these roles. Schemmel has voiced Goku since the Dragon Ball Z Kai dub in the late 2000s, Sabat has been Vegeta for about as long, and Jason Douglas and Ian Sinclair have played Beerus and Whis since Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’ brought the characters into English in the first place. A remaster this extensive could easily have been a chance to recast; Toei and the dub studio didn’t take it.
What Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Actually Is
This isn’t a new story. It’s a from-scratch remaster of three arcs from the original Dragon Ball Super — Battle of Gods, Resurrection ‘F’ and the Universe 6 tournament — rebuilt with new animation, a new score and freshly recorded dialogue. The subtitled version premiered in Japan on October 11, 2026, and the whole run is set to be 19 episodes, the shortest season in the franchise’s history. CBR reports the season breaks down into six episodes for Battle of Gods, six for Resurrection ‘F’ and seven for the Universe 6 arc.
So the gap between the dub and the subtitled feed isn’t a mistake, it’s just the cost of getting the same voices back instead of a quick recast. If you’re starting with Episode 1 today, you’re not behind forever, just behind on a schedule Crunchyroll already mapped out through the end of the year. The full episode schedule has every confirmed date for both feeds, and the Dragon Ball Super: Beerus watch guide covers where to stream it and what order to watch it in.
