If you grew up with DigiDestined, Tamers, or Frontier kids, Digimon just put a real calendar under the nostalgia. The franchise is kicking off its 30th Anniversary Project around the original Digital Monster toy's 1997 debut, and the headline for next year is simple: a brand-new Digimon anime is headed for a 2027 broadcast. Title, staff, and story are still locked down. The near-term plan is already concrete.
The 2027 series, and what ships first
Digimon's official anniversary materials and the Aug. 1 Digimon Official Channel wave frame the new show as a full anniversary-year TV anime, not a one-off special. DIGIMON BEATBREAK is still on the Sunday morning Fuji TV slot now. The first anniversary TV project that actually has an air date is the fan-voted retrospective Bokura ga Eranda Best Adventure (The Best Adventure We Chose).
Official teaser PV:
Digimon Official Channel's teaser description puts the anniversary on the record:
来年2027年には、デジモンはついに30周年の節目を迎えます。この記念すべきアニバーサリーイヤーに向け、「デジモン30周年プロジェクト」が始動。
In plain English: Digimon hits 30 in 2027, and the Digimon 30th Anniversary Project is now underway.
What the teaser does not spell out
Toei Animation's press release fills in the schedule fans can actually put on a calendar:
| Piece | Status |
|---|---|
| Brand-new Digimon anime | Confirmed for a **2027** broadcast; title and staff TBA |
| *Best Adventure* | Fuji TV and affiliates, **Sundays 9:00 a.m.** from **Oct. 4, 2026** |
| First blocks on air | *Digimon Adventure* and *Digimon Tamers* episodes first |
| *Adventure 02* / *Frontier* blocks | Voting covered all four early TV series; air dates for those blocks come later |
| Beatbreak | Current series still airing; Best Adventure is the post-Beatbreak Sunday-morning bridge into anniversary season |
The episode slate comes from a worldwide fan vote across Digimon Adventure, Adventure 02, Tamers, and Frontier. Adventure's top pick is Episode 54, "A New World." That is the kind of utility detail a headline about "new anime in 2027" usually skips.
The opening theme for Best Adventure reunites Digimon music lifers: Ayumi Miyazaki (brave heart) and Takayoshi Tanimoto (One Vision) on vocals, with Hiroshi Yamada and Michihiko Ota writing and composing. Song title details are still TBA. Official X is also collecting fan comments under #ベスアド for on-air reads by Hiroaki Hirata (Adventure side) and Masako Nozawa (Tamers side).
How to follow it from outside Japan
Watch the official teaser on the Digimon Official Channel.
Bookmark Toei's *Best Adventure* page and the Digimon anime portal for staff and episode drops.
Keep DIGIMON BEATBREAK on your list while it finishes its run; Crunchyroll has been the English-friendly home for that series.
Treat 2027 as the year for the brand-new show, and Oct. 4, 2026 as the first anniversary TV appointment you can actually set a reminder for.
No title for the 2027 anime yet means the smart move is following the official channels instead of guessing continuity. When Digimon does name it, we will wire it into the Digimon hub and keep the shows feed updated.
