Funimation Entertainment announced on Monday that it will now include the unaired Free! Eternal Summer episode in its home video release of the television series. It also announced a new release date of February 16 for Blu-ray Disc/DVD sets.

All versions of the release will include the unaired episode. Those who order the Premium Edition release will also be entered into a raffle to win a 1/8-scale figure of Haruka Nanase.
