We're just a few days away from the hotly anticipated premiere of My Hero Academia season 5, and now we know where we'll be able to watch it. Both Crunchyroll and Funimation announced plans to stream the latest season of the anime that adapts Kohei Horikoshi's hit Shonen Jump manga series, and the action officially begins on Saturday, March 27.

Funimation will announce SimulDub details at a later date.

For Crunchyroll, season five will be available in the following territories: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

Here's how Funimation describes My Hero Academia season 5:

The rivalry between Class 1-A and Class 1-B heats up in a joint training battle. Eager to be a part of the hero course, brainwashing buff Shinso is tasked with competing on both sides.

But as each team faces their own weaknesses and discovers new strengths, this showdown might just become a toss-up.
