The Prince of Tennis II English dub starts streaming on Crunchyroll
The first two English-dubbed episodes are streaming now, with new episodes of the tennis anime arriving every Wednesday.
The English dub of The Prince of Tennis II U-17 WORLD CUP: Final Member Selection Match has started streaming on Crunchyroll, with its first two episodes available now and new episodes scheduled weekly on Wednesdays. 1
The English dub is under way
Crunchyroll’s release covers the sequel’s Final Member Selection Match storyline, which decides which players will represent Japan in the World Cup final against Spain. The series is already airing with English subtitles, and four subtitled episodes were available when the announcement was reported. 1
The English cast includes Ry McKeand as Ryoma, Christopher Wehkamp as Atobe, Christopher Sabat as Byodoin, Stephen Fu as Fuji, Ian Sinclair as Sanada and Robbie Daymond as Yukimura. The wider cast also includes Ryan Colt Levy, Daman Mills, Lucien Dodge and Keith Silverstein.
What the new season is about
The story puts Japan’s players through a final selection match before the World Cup final. Coach Mifune must decide who makes the line-up, forcing teammates and old rivals to compete directly for their places. Crunchyroll’s synopsis describes a team under pressure as players try to prove they belong on the sport’s biggest stage. 2
The anime is based on Takeshi Konomi’s long-running manga and continues The Prince of Tennis II after its earlier World Cup story. The new arc is less about introducing the tournament and more about the difficult choices needed to form Japan’s final team.
Why this matters for viewers
This is a straightforward streaming update rather than a new series launch: the Japanese-language broadcast is already in progress, while the English dub is following behind with a weekly release pattern. That makes the Wednesday schedule the key detail for viewers who want to watch the dub as it arrives rather than wait for the full arc.
The release also gives the large English voice cast a chance to establish its version of the tournament’s rivalries as the selection matches move towards the Spain final. Further episodes should clarify which players survive the internal competition and make Japan’s final roster.
Our opinion
A weekly dub rollout suits a tournament arc built around individual match-ups. It lets viewers follow the selection drama alongside the subtitled broadcast without pretending the two versions are launching at the same pace. The important news is simple: the first two English-dubbed episodes are live, and Wednesdays are now the date to watch for the next match.
