‘X-Men ’97’ Season 2 Episode 7 Release Date and Streaming Time Confirmed

The mutant team is heading somewhere fans have been anticipating since the season began, and viewers now know exactly when they can watch it happen. Marvel’s animated revival continues its weekly rollout on Disney Plus, with the seventh installment marking a shift in setting for the second season.

‘X-Men ’97’ has kept a consistent release rhythm since its early July premiere, and the show is not slowing down as it heads into its final stretch. Here is what to know about when the next episode drops, how the rest of the season is scheduled, and what the story is expected to cover.

Release Date and Time for Episode 7

The seventh episode of ‘X-Men ’97’ season 2, titled ‘Strange Land, Savage Heart,’ is set to premiere on Disney Plus on July 29, 2026. The episode description teases that the X-Men travel to the Savage Land, where an unexpected reunion awaits them.

For viewers tracking exact release windows, the show has followed the same timing pattern all season. New episodes drop at midnight Pacific time, which translates to 3 a.m. Eastern. For audiences in the United Kingdom, that works out to 8 a.m. British Summer Time.

The episode title itself has drawn attention since it was first revealed. Marvel Studios announced the official titles and release dates for the season’s episodes on social media, and the seventh entry’s name was seen as a clear nod toward the Savage Land setting.

Given the show’s track record of using multi-part structures to shake up its narrative, fans have treated this episode as a potential turning point for the back half of the season.

Full Streaming Schedule for X-Men ’97 Season 2

‘X-Men ’97’ season 2 launched differently than its predecessor, front loading its opening chapters before settling into a weekly cadence. Marvel Studios confirmed the first three episodes released together on July 1, with individual new episodes following every Wednesday afterward.

That schedule has continued in a predictable fashion through the middle of the season. Episode 4, ‘Rise of Apocalypse Part 2,’ arrived July 8, episode 5, ‘Weapon X, Lies and DVDs,’ arrived July 15, and episode 6, ‘Danger.Exe,’ arrived July 22.

Following episode 7 on July 29, the season is set to close out over the next two weeks. Episode 8, ‘The Dead Man’s Hand,’ is scheduled for August 5, and the season finale, episode 9, ‘Survival of the Fittest,’ is set for August 12. Marvel’s official rundown for that finale teases the X-Men confronting their greatest challenge as old enemies return.

Unlike the first season, this run of episodes is slightly shorter overall. Season 2 consists of nine episodes total, compared to the ten episodes that made up the show’s 2024 debut season.

What to Expect From the Savage Land Storyline

The previous episode set an emotional table for what comes next, and it did so by subverting expectations. Episode 6 initially seemed positioned as a Wolverine centered story, but it ultimately focused on Morph, who was misled by Logan about the true purpose of their mission against Weapon X.

That deception carried real weight by the episode’s end. Lady Deathstrike, voiced by Erika Ishii, repeatedly referred to Morph as Tomo throughout the episode, a reference tied to a Japanese folk tale about a shapeshifting fox that follows a samurai, and the story closed with a pointed exchange between the two characters.

With the team now heading into new territory, speculation has grown around what the Savage Land setting could introduce. One outlet’s preview anticipated a chaotic detour built around prehistoric creatures and long running comic elements, including the power draining mutate known as Sauron and a possible appearance from Mister Sinister, along with the theory that a member of the cast could be transformed into a Horseman of Apocalypse before the season’s final episodes.

None of those specifics have been confirmed by Marvel ahead of the premiere, and the episode’s official synopsis has remained limited to the reunion tease tied to the Savage Land setting itself.

Where to Watch X-Men ’97 Season 2

Streaming access for the series has not changed since its debut season, and that remains true for episode 7. A paid Disney Plus subscription is required to watch every episode, and Disney Plus does not currently offer a free trial for new subscribers.

That exclusivity extends across every territory where the show is available, meaning there is no separate cable or alternate platform option for catching up. The series remains available exclusively for paying Disney Plus subscribers, consistent with how the platform has handled the show since it relaunched in July.

For anyone behind on the season, all six previous episodes remain available to stream ahead of the new release, giving latecomers a chance to catch up on the Weapon X fallout and the Morph and Deathstrike dynamic before the Savage Land arc begins.

With the reunion angle teased for episode 7 and only two episodes left after it, the season appears to be building toward a consequential finale. What do you think this unexpected Savage Land reunion means for the X-Men heading into the season’s final two episodes.
