There are 26 episodes in the final season of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
Season 9 is the series’ ninth and final season. It premiered on Discovery Family on April 6, 2019, and concluded on October 12, 2019. The season follows Twilight Sparkle as she prepares to become Equestria’s ruler while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna plan their retirement.
The season’s episode count includes the three-part finale: “The Ending of the End” occupies episodes 24 and 25, while “The Last Problem” is episode 26. That structure can cause confusion because the finale aired as a supersized event, but the parts were counted as separate episodes.
Season 9 was announced in 2018, and industry material confirmed its planned 26-episode order before Hasbro identified it as the final season. The broader series contains 221 numbered episodes, with season 3 being the notable short season at 13 episodes.
