Sound! Euphonium aired during the spring 2015 broadcast season. The 13-episode series was helmed by Tatsuya Ishihara (Clannad After Story, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions) at Kyoto Animation. Shoko Ikeda (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) provided character designs, while Jukki Hanada (Nichijou – My Ordinary Life, Love Live! School Idol Project) took charge of series composition.

PonyCan USA currently holds the rights to the series in North America. The company is planning a Blu-Ray release, though specific release dates, formats, or pricing are still unknown. In addition to the physical release, Crunchyroll is streaming the series in its entirety on their digital platform.
