On what date did all eight episodes of The Bear season 5 premiere?

All eight episodes of The Bear season 5 premiered on June 25, 2026.

FX released the final season as a complete batch rather than spacing the episodes across several weeks. That made June 25 both the premiere date and the date on which viewers could watch the entire eight-episode conclusion on Hulu and FX’s streaming services.

The release followed the show’s established late-June tradition. Earlier seasons also arrived around the same part of the calendar, although their episode counts differed: season 2 had 10 episodes, while season 5 was announced as an eight-episode final season. The date is therefore easy to confuse with June 26, 2024, the premiere date for season 3, or June 25, 2025, when season 4 arrived.

Season 5 continues the restaurant’s financial and operational crisis while shifting the story toward a final service and the characters’ next professional choices. Its simultaneous release also encouraged fans to treat the season as one extended finale rather than a weekly mystery.
