My Hero Academia finished its TV broadcast in December 2025. The whole story, from Izuku Midoriya’s first steps as a hero to the final battle, now spans eight seasons. Netflix streams the anime in 17 countries, too. However, Netflix libraries differ from country to country, and the US library skips season 6.

That’s confusing when season 5 ends and the next episode on screen comes from season 7. The seasons on your screen depend on where Netflix thinks you are, and changing that is easier than it sounds. Here’s how to stream every season.

Watch All 8 MHA Seasons on Netflix in 2026

  1. Sign up for NordVPN and download its app for your phone, computer, or streaming device.
  2. Connect to a server in Japan, such as Tokyo or Osaka.
  3. Sign in to Netflix on a plan without ads and search for My Hero Academia.
  4. Choose a season from 1 to 8. The Japanese library lists English audio and English subtitles.

Unblock Netflix Japan With NordVPN

Netflix’s terms of use limit viewing to the countries where a title is licensed, and watching another country’s library goes against them. When Netflix detects one, it shows a proxy error, and VPNs don’t work on its ad-supported plans.

How to Watch All 8 Seasons on Netflix Japan

Connect to a Japanese server with a VPN, then search for My Hero Academia on Netflix. The Japanese IP address brings up Netflix Japan, the library with every season, on your current account. No Japanese account or payment is required. In our Japan tests, NordVPN’s Tokyo servers unblocked Netflix Japan with no issues.

The Tokyo connection was fast, well beyond what Netflix requires for HD. NordVPN offers 130+ servers in Tokyo and Osaka, and every subscription comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the US or UK library still appears after connecting, clear the browser cache, or close the Netflix app and launch it again.

Subtitles and audio change from the playback menu. Our guide to the Japanese Netflix library covers its wider catalog. Netflix doesn’t support VPNs on its ad-supported plans. An ad-free plan is required. For other libraries, our guide to the best VPNs for Netflix compares the VPNs we recommend.

Is My Hero Academia on Netflix?

Yes, My Hero Academia is on Netflix in 17 countries, according to uNoGS, a site that lists Netflix libraries by country. However, only six of those libraries have all eight seasons, and only Japan’s has English audio. Netflix shows the library for the country of your IP address, even if the account was created in another country.

Here’s what every library offers:

Netflix library Seasons English audio
Japan 1-8 Yes
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand 1-8 No (English subtitles)
South Korea 1-8 No (Korean subtitles)
UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden 1-7 Yes
Argentina, Brazil, Colombia 1-7 No (Spanish audio)
Hong Kong 1-5, 7, 8 Yes
India 1-5, 7, 8 No (English subtitles)
US, Iceland 1-5, 7 Yes

The Argentine, Brazilian, and Colombian libraries offer Latin American Spanish audio, but they end at season 7. uNoGS doesn’t list My Hero Academia on Netflix in Germany or Spain.

How Many Seasons of My Hero Academia Are There?

My Hero Academia has eight seasons and 170 episodes, and the TV anime is complete. The final season aired from October to December 2025, about a year after the manga ended. Here’s how the episodes split across the seasons:

  • Season 1 (2016): 13 episodes
  • Season 2 (2017): 25 episodes
  • Season 3 (2018): 25 episodes
  • Season 4 (2019 to 2020): 25 episodes
  • Season 5 (2021): 25 episodes
  • Season 6 (2022 to 2023): 25 episodes
  • Season 7 (2024): 21 episodes
  • Season 8, the Final Season (2025): 11 episodes

Crunchyroll and Japanese listings call the eighth season the Final Season instead of season 8. Episode counts can also differ slightly between Netflix libraries. Our review of the series finale covers how the story wraps up.

The Movies, OVAs, and the More Epilogue

Four movies aren’t part of the season count: Two Heroes (2018), Heroes Rising (2019), World Heroes’ Mission (2021), and You’re Next (2024). Netflix Japan lists these films alongside the series. The anime also has 11 OVAs. Four Memories recap specials aired before season 7, and Netflix UK, for example, lists them under that season.

Finally, an epilogue episode called More aired in May 2026 and adapts the extra chapter in the manga’s final volume.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

Vigilantes is a spin-off set before the main series, with its own lead characters and two seasons of 13 episodes (2025 and 2026). Because it’s a spin-off, it doesn’t count toward the eight seasons. Netflix has since added the two seasons in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia, among other countries.

Why Is Season 6 of MHA Not on Netflix in the US?

Netflix hasn’t given a reason, and neither has Crunchyroll, which licenses My Hero Academia outside Asia. In practice, Netflix licenses every season in a separate deal that covers specific countries. As a result, a library can add season 7 before season 6, and the US did exactly that in April 2026. Season 6’s US streaming history is also different.

It streamed only on Crunchyroll when it aired in 2022, while season 5 was also on another major US streaming service. Netflix was expected to add season 6 in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Latin America on June 1, 2026. The UK, Canadian, Australian, and Latin American libraries have it now.

The US library still lists seasons 1 to 5 and 7. With a Canadian IP address, for instance, Netflix lists seasons 1 to 7. Netflix’s Asian libraries come through separate regional deals. Even so, India and Hong Kong lack season 6 as well, although the two libraries have the final season, and no reason has been given there either.

Where to Watch My Hero Academia Season 6

In the US, Crunchyroll streams season 6 with Japanese audio and the English dub. It’s also available through the Crunchyroll channel on Prime Video, and Amazon and Apple TV sell the season and single episodes.

Viewers in the UK, Canada, and Australia can stream season 6 on Netflix, and Crunchyroll offers it in those countries too. Crunchyroll’s own library changes by country as well, and our Crunchyroll VPN guide explains how to watch it while traveling.

When Is MHA Season 8 Coming to Netflix?

Netflix hasn’t announced a date for the final season in the US, the UK, or Canada. Crunchyroll licensed the final season to stream worldwide, excluding Asia, as it aired in Japan. Crunchyroll still streams it outside Asia, with subtitles and the English dub. Asian libraries, however, were quicker.

Netflix Japan streamed the final season from its premiere on October 4, 2025, and India, Hong Kong, and South Korea added it two weeks later. Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand list it too. The Latin American libraries end at season 7 too. In Germany, Crunchyroll streams the final season.

Final Thoughts

My Hero Academia ended after eight seasons, yet Netflix offers every season in only a handful of Asian libraries. For English-speaking viewers, Netflix Japan is the practical solution, with every season, English audio, and English subtitles. A VPN with Japanese servers unblocks it on an existing Netflix account.

NordVPN unblocked Netflix Japan in our tests, and it’s the VPN we recommend for this. US viewers who prefer to skip the VPN can watch season 6 on Crunchyroll and return to Netflix for season 7. Other trusted VPNs with Japanese servers also work, and the same method helps with other anime that differ by country, such as Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix.
