While there hasn't been any official confirmation, we anticipate Fire Force season 3 will match its previous two seasons and consist of 24 episodes. It should be split into two, with the first batch of 12 episodes airing from April to June in the spring 2025 anime season. The series will then conclude with its final part next January. So, yes: Fire Force season 3 is the final season.
