July 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most important months of the year for One Piece fans.
The franchise created by Eiichiro Oda is preparing a series of events that include the premiere of a new anime, the celebration of One Piece Day, and anticipation for possible announcements related to the series' remake, the Netflix live-action, and future projects.
If you're a fan of the Straw Hat universe, here are all the One Piece news in July 2026 that you won't want to miss.
One Piece: Heroines Arrives in July with New Stories Starring the Series' Heroines
The first big event of the month will take place on July 5 in Japan, the chosen date for the premiere of One Piece: Heroines.
This is an anime special inspired by the popular light novels of the same name, offering a different view of the One Piece world by focusing on some of its most beloved female characters.
The protagonists of these stories are Nami, Nico Robin, Vivi, and Perona, who will experience new adventures with a refreshed visual style that differs from the main anime produced by Toei Animation.
Fans in Spain and the rest of the world won't have to wait long, as Netflix will release One Piece: Heroines on July 11, thus expanding the franchise's content catalog on the platform.
This release provides an opportunity to learn about new facets of these characters and keep interest alive while other projects in the universe created by Eiichiro Oda continue to develop.
July 22: One Piece Day
Another red-letter date for fans will be July 22, officially known as One Piece Day.
The choice is no coincidence, as on that same day in 1997, the manga began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, marking the beginning of one of the most successful stories in manga and anime.
Each year, this celebration brings together millions of fans from around the world and is usually accompanied by special illustrations, merchandise, commemorative campaigns, and various activities organized by the franchise, and its 29th anniversary will be no exception.
In addition, One Piece Day has become a regular time to share new trailers, promotional images, or announcements related to the series' upcoming projects, which keeps the community highly attentive to any news during those dates.

Among the possibilities that generate the most interest are new images from The One Piece remake, produced by WIT Studio, previews of the second season of Netflix's One Piece live-action, news about the weekly anime, and even possible announcements related to video games or future specials.
As usual, One Piece Day will also feature special guests, activities for fans, and exclusive content dedicated to Eiichiro Oda's work.
