If you searched "Demon Slayer NYC," you're probably trying to find out where to watch Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle in New York City, whether there's a live stage event happening, or what other Demon Slayer experiences the city has to offer. This guide covers all of it in one place, updated for 2026.

Quick Answer

Demon Slayer fans in New York City currently have three main ways to experience the franchise in person. There are theatrical screenings of Infinity Castle at major NYC theater chains. There are museum screenings at cultural institutions like the Museum of the Moving Image. And there are live stage and convention events, including past Demon Slayer on Stage programs and appearances tied to Anime NYC.

Whichever one you're headed to, showing up in Demon Slayer merch is half the fun.

Where to Watch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle in NYC

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle is the trilogy opener that continues the story after the Entertainment District and Hashira Training arcs, following Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke as they and the Hashira descend into the demons' shifting stronghold. The film has been playing across New York City at multiple theater chains, including AMC Theatres at multiple Manhattan and borough locations, Regal Times Square, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema NYC, which offers a dubbed version with reserved seating and in-theater dining, and the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, which screens the film in 4K DCP with Dolby Atmos, subtitled in English, and rated R with a recommendation for ages 14 and up.

Because showtimes rotate weekly and vary by borough, the most reliable way to confirm a screening near you is to check each theater's official site or a live showtime aggregator on the day you plan to go, since listings shift frequently.

Tip: Subtitled versus dubbed prints aren't available at every theater, so if you have a preference, check the format before booking.

Movie night look: A Nezuko Kamado zip up hoodie is a comfortable, easy way to rep the series in a dark theater. Pair it with a graphic tee underneath for the walk to and from the subway.

Demon Slayer on Stage: NYC's Live Program

New York has also hosted Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ON STAGE, a special Fathom Events program rather than a traditional screening. It features cast members performing a live captured original story reading plus a special live dubbing performance, covering both the Mugen Train and Entertainment District arcs. These are limited run, ticketed events rather than standing showtimes, so availability depends on the current Fathom Events calendar.

Live events like this are where cosplay adjacent streetwear gets the most use. Think graphic tees, joggers, or a themed hoodie you can wear comfortably for a multi hour show without looking like you tried too hard.

Anime NYC and Demon Slayer

Anime NYC, held annually in Manhattan, is one of the largest anime conventions on the East Coast and has previously featured Demon Slayer programming, merchandise, and community meetups. As of this writing, there's no confirmed 2026 Demon Slayer panel or screening tied to Anime NYC, but given the franchise's popularity following Infinity Castle's box office success, it's worth checking the convention's official schedule as it's announced.

If you're heading to Anime NYC, this is also the moment to go all in on an outfit. The Demon Slayer collection has tees, hoodies, and joggers, including a Halloween joint tee featuring Kokushibo if your visit lines up with the fall convention season.

What's Next for the Franchise

Infinity Castle is the first of a planned three part movie trilogy closing out the Demon Slayer story. Current expectations point to the second and third parts arriving in later years rather than in 2026, so NYC fans should expect Infinity Castle re releases, encore screenings, and anniversary events to be the main in person opportunities for now.

Gear Up: Demon Slayer Merch for Your Next NYC Outing

Whether you're catching a screening, heading to a stage show, or just repping the series around the city, a few pieces are worth adding to your cart before you go. A Nezuko Kamado zip up hoodie makes a comfortable layering piece for theaters and outdoor lines. The Demon Slayer Halloween joint tee featuring Kokushibo is a great seasonal pick for fall events. The full Demon Slayer collection covers tees, hoodies, joggers, and more for men and women.

All orders ship worldwide with free shipping, so you can order ahead of your NYC screening or convention date.
