The Official Pokémon accounts have recently revealed that the third season of the Pokémon Horizons TV Anime, known as Pokémon Horizons: Rising Hope, will begin streaming on BBC iPlayer on the 27th October 2025 in the UK. It is also expected that the CBBC Channel will broadcast the episodes on TV.
An official TV broadcast date has yet to be confirmed, but this third season will become available to stream on the 27th October 2025 through the BBC iPlayer service. Don’t get too excited though, as we think that episodes will become available to stream in batches (where 10 episodes were added every few months) just like the previous two seasons.
About: It’s been one year since the events in Laqua left the Rising Volt Tacklers without a leader and a way forward, but a mysterious pink mist that harms Pokémon spurs Liko and Roy into action! Both Trainers have gained confidence and strength alongside their Pokémon, including Roy’s newest friend, a yellow Lucario capable of Mega Evolution. They’re joined by Dot, an intel-gathering expert, and Ult, a brash young Trainer who considers Roy his rival. Determined to rebuild the Rising Volt Tacklers and fulfill a promise made in Laqua, Liko, Roy, and friends are training harder than ever as they take on the Explorers and forge a new path!
As a reminder Pokémon Horizons began streaming on BBC iPlayer in the UK in 2023, with episodes also being broadcast each weekday on the CBBC TV Channel, and throughout the year more episodes were added to the platform. The BBC iPlayer platform also has a wide range of Pokémon content, including Diamond & Pearl, X&Y, Sun&Moon series and various films available to stream in addition to other shows such as Beyblade X, Dragon Ball Super and uncut episodes of ONE PIECE. As it stands however, Pokémon Horizons: Rising Hope will become available to watch on BBC iPlayer from 27th October 2025.
