How to watch One Piece in the UK
Brand new episodes of One Piece are available to stream in the UK on Netflix and Crunchyroll, while more than 1,000 earlier episodes – comprising 10 sagas from East Blue up to Land of Wano – are now streaming on BBC iPlayer.
In fact, BBC iPlayer is the only service in the UK carrying the English dubs of One Piece, with Crunchyroll and Netflix having the original Japanese versions of the latest episodes instead.
Of course, Netflix is also where you can find the live-action version of One Piece, which proved to be one of very few western anime adaptations to earn resounding approval from the existing fan base.
You can catch One Piece on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
