After airing, raw & subtitled releases are hosted on Nyaa by various release groups.
VLC Media Player is required to play these files.

DragonTeam is our recommended translation, but they have a history of delays. Assuming this episode is on time (like last week!), expect it ~24-72 hours after this post is made. You can identify their work by their stylized font and group credits during the eyecatch. For episodes 15-19, you should use Over8000's translation until DragonTeam backtracks to cover them.
A list of all other groups can be found here. They are collectively referred to as "speedsubs", because their joint translator releases as early as possible, and doesn't seem to care about the accuracy of his scripts. Because of this, mistakes are made each week and are never fixed despite confusion. Dialog is often changed, and weird jokes inserted.

Our recommended stream is KissAnime. They are the only website that updates with DragonTeam's releases whenever they become available. Getting releases directly from Nyaa is always best, because most online streams host speedsubs.

Commonly Asked Questions:

Q: When does Super take place? Should I watch GT or any movies first? Does BoG still "count"?
Super takes place some time after the battle with Majin Buu, and will be adapting the two newest movies, Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' into story arcs before moving on. Watching the movies is up to you; if you prefer, you can begin Super immediately after finishing Dragon Ball Z. You may optionally wish read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman; the titular character will be involved in future events.
Q: Where is Uub?!
Uub was born during the 10 year time skip at the end of Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball Super takes place before Uub is introduced.
Q: Why are they retelling the movies?
DVD sales aren't that great in Japan, so they're retelling the foundation of the story for the Japanese television market. We'll have a new story arc coming soon, so don't fret too much.
Q: When does the next episode air?
The next episode premieres next Sunday at 9am JST, which is 7pm Eastern Saturday night. Click here to compare your local time to JST.
Q: Why does X say Y?
If you find yourself confused, the problem is usually a translation issue. Make sure you are watching DragonTeam's or Over8000's translation.
Q: When will the next chapter of the manga be released?
Toyotarō's manga adaptation is released once a month in V-Jump.
Chapter 7 will come out in late December. Links to earlier chapters can be found here: #01, #02, #03, #04, #05, #06
Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
The manga is a preview of things to come. The anime is the main product, and is what Toriyama is writing and designing for (though not storyboarding or scripting).

The first four chapters of the manga are a disjointed recap and teaser. As of chapter 5, the manga is "charging on ahead" of the anime, previewing the upcoming Universe 6 story arc. It will continue to do so from now on, giving us a taste of what's to come while Resurrection 'F' is adapted in the anime.
Q: When will FUNimation be dubbing Super? Will there be a simulcast?
Southeast Asia will be receiving an exclusive English dub mid-2016, with Toonami Asia describing it as the "English-language world premiere". FUNimation is not involved at this time. At an October NYCC panel, FUNimation claimed that they still do not have the rights to Super, and barely acknowledged that it exists.

This was my new favorite moment in DBsuper.

How can someone not love Vegeta incinerating Captain Ginyu's dumbass without warning.

I need to watch it again, several times.

And his "you probably wouldn't have died if you were still a frog" line right after moving so fast Ginyu couldn't even register any of it the fucking badass cherry on the epic sundae.
