The third season of the TV anime Mashle: Magic and Muscles will begin airing in Japan on January 9, 2027, according to an Anime! Anime! report. The announcement also revealed the first trailer and key visual and named Soma Saito and Ryota Suzuki as the voices of two new characters.
The season adapts the arc that Anime News Network calls the "Tri-Magicathalon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc." The official website also lists the January 9 premiere.
Saito plays Domina and Suzuki plays Levi. Both characters come from a rival magic school. The trailer uses footage from the anime and shows Mash and his classmates facing that school's students, who are new, powerful opponents.
In his comment, Saito said he was delighted to join the series as Domina and that recording is already underway. Suzuki described Levi as extremely snide but strong enough to back up his big talk, and said he will work to make him "a lovable villain." New character visuals of Mash, Finn, Lance, Dot and Lemon were also released.
The season airs Saturdays at 24:00 JST (midnight going into Sunday) on TOKYO MX, BS11, Gunma TV and Tochigi TV. Other regional stations follow in later time slots or on later dates, with the last starting on January 15. Streaming will roll out on ABEMA, d Anime Store and other platforms. A-1 Pictures is credited with production.
A Japan Premiere event is set for December 13, 2026, at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills in Tokyo. Along with a screening, it will include a talk show with Chiaki Kobayashi, Reiji Kawashima, Kaito Ishikawa, Takuya Eguchi, Reina Ueda, Saito and Suzuki. Suzuki has also been added to the Kitakyushu Pop Culture Festival 2026 on November 29, where he will join Kobayashi, the voice of Mash, on the festival's Mashle stage.
