If you want the exact drop dates, the full piece-by-piece lineup, and a realistic price estimate for the new Crowned Athletics Disney Halloween collections, OPEN’s guide has all three in one place. Crowned Athletics revealed two spooky season collections on September 14, 2026. One is themed to Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The other is built around Cruella de Vil from Disney’s 101 Dalmatians. They drop five days apart. Neither one is coming to a Disney Parks shelf, and both carry a return policy that catches shoppers off guard.
What Are the New Crowned Athletics Disney Halloween Collections?
Crowned Athletics is releasing two Disney-licensed activewear collections for Halloween 2026, launching September 17 and September 22.
Crowned Athletics has produced fandom-driven performance apparel since 2017. The brand already carries Disney Frozen, Disney Mickey & Friends, Disney Princess, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars lines. Both new Halloween collections use allover foil prints, embroidered character icons, and hidden pockets sized for a phone, keys, and cards.
Here is how the two drops compare, sorted by release date.
| Collection | Launch Date | Characters | Confirmed Piece Types | Page Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas | September 17, 2026 | Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero | Leggings, sports bras, athletic skorts, power tanks, flow tank, collared tee, mesh shrug, hair bow, pet bandana, athletic cap | Live, 0 products loaded |
| Disney Villain Cruella de Vil | September 22, 2026 | Cruella de Vil | Sports bra, leggings, athletic skort, power tank, flow tank, mesh shrug, hair bow, pet bandana | Live, 0 products loaded |
Both collection pages are already published on the retailer’s site. The Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas collection page and the Disney Villain Cruella de Vil collection page both return zero products as of publication. Bookmark them now. When the drop goes live, those URLs populate first, which beats searching the site on launch morning. Full product details come from the official Disney Parks Blog reveal published September 14, 2026.
How Much Will the Crowned Athletics Halloween Collections Cost?
Crowned Athletics has not published pricing for either Halloween collection. Comparable pieces in the brand’s current Disney Villain Ursula collection run $28.00 to $112.00.
We are not going to invent numbers for unreleased products. What we can do is show you the live pricing on the closest available comparison. The Disney Villain Ursula collection uses the exact same garment names, the same cuts, and sits under the same Disney Villains license. Treat this as your planning band, not as confirmed Cruella or Jack Skellington pricing.
| Piece Type | Current Ursula Collection Price | Appears in New Halloween Drops |
|---|---|---|
| Hair Bow | $28.00 | Both collections |
| Athletic Cap | $38.00 | Nightmare Before Christmas |
| Women’s Flow Tank | $68.00 | Both collections |
| Women’s Sports Bra | $78.00 | Both collections |
| Women’s Power Tank | $84.00 | Both collections |
| Women’s Athletic Skort | $88.00 | Both collections |
| Women’s Athletic Tank | $88.00 | Not announced |
| Women’s Leggings | $112.00 | Both collections |
Run the math on a matching set before you get to checkout. A sports bra paired with leggings lands near $190.00 at current comparable pricing. A skort paired with a power tank lands near $172.00. Neither collection has announced a bundle discount. This is premium-tier activewear pricing, and the character print is the entire premium.
What Is in the Nightmare Before Christmas Crowned Athletics Collection?
The Nightmare Before Christmas collection splits into Jack Skellington apparel, Sally apparel, and Zero accessories, launching September 17.
Jack Skellington anchors the first half with a foil print carried across five pieces. Sally covers six pieces using her patchwork color scheme with stitched-together print details. Zero holds the accessory slot, which is where this collection picks up its cheapest entry points.
Confirmed Jack Skellington pieces:
- Jack Skellington Women’s Leggings
- Jack Skellington Women’s Sports Bra, with bat-shaped crossover detailing and a double layered build
- Jack Skellington Women’s Athletic Skort
- Jack Skellington Women’s Power Tank, with an embroidered icon
- Jack Skellington Unisex Collared Tee, the only unisex cut announced across either collection
Confirmed Sally pieces:
- Sally Women’s Sports Bra
- Sally Women’s Leggings
- Sally Women’s Flow Tank
- Sally Women’s Athletic Skort
- Sally Women’s Power Tank, using a patchwork-style foil print
- Sally Women’s Mesh Shrug, a sheer lightweight layer with stitch-inspired sleeve accents
Three Zero accessories round out the drop. The Zero Pet Bandana comes in small and large sizes, and the large doubles as a hair tie or neck scarf. The Zero Athletic Cap carries embroidered Zero alongside his doghouse, bats, and stars. The Zero Hair Bow is printed to match the bandana.
What Is in the Cruella de Vil Crowned Athletics Collection?
The Disney Villain Cruella de Vil collection launches September 22 with eight announced pieces in black, white, and red.
Cruella becomes the third character line on the brand’s Disney Villains hub, joining the existing Maleficent and Ursula collections. The apparel uses a Dalmatian spot pattern, sculpted seams, color blocking, and a shimmering print. It is the smaller of the two Halloween drops and the one built for a single statement piece rather than a full set.
Confirmed Cruella de Vil pieces:
- Cruella de Vil Women’s Sports Bra and matching Women’s Leggings
- Cruella de Vil Women’s Athletic Skort and Women’s Power Tank
- Cruella de Vil Women’s Flow Tank, built with a printed mesh back panel
- Cruella de Vil Women’s Mesh Shrug
- Cruella de Vil Hair Bow
- Cruella de Vil Pet Bandana
The hidden pocket construction carries across this collection too. For a September park day in Central Florida, that is the practical argument for the price. OPEN tracks every seasonal drop like this one in our full Disney merch coverage, including which sizes sell out first.
Where Can You Buy These Collections, and What Are the Return Rules?
Both collections sell only through CrownedAthletics.com in sizes XS through XXXL. Accessories are final sale and cannot be returned.
Three operational details matter more than the product photos here:
- Sizing runs XS to XXXL across the brand. Check the size guide before ordering, because activewear cuts vary by piece type.
- Free domestic shipping starts at $100.00. A single sports bra at comparable pricing lands under that line. Leggings clear it on their own.
- All accessories are final sale. That covers hair bows, athletic caps, and pet bandanas. No returns, no exchanges, no store credit.
Neither collection has been announced for Disney Store or Disney Parks. Crowned Athletics is a third-party licensee, not a Disney Store label. If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World and hoping to grab these in person, there is no confirmed shelf space. Disney’s own separate Halloween lines, including the Disney Villains assortment that launched August 3, 2026 and the Disney Store Nightmare Before Christmas collection that launched August 24, 2026, are the ones carrying select items into parks and Disney Springs retail.
Rumor Radar
Source: Crowned Athletics public site architecture, Disney Villains hub page
The Disney Villains hub on CrownedAthletics.com is built as an expandable index rather than a single collection. Maleficent, Ursula, and now Cruella de Vil each sit on their own dedicated collection URL underneath it. That structure points toward additional villain character lines being added over time rather than a one-off seasonal push. Crowned Athletics has not announced a fourth villain collection, and no timeline exists for one.

Status Brief
Two drop dates, five days apart, online only, at premium activewear pricing. The Nightmare Before Christmas collection carries more pieces and three characters. The Cruella de Vil collection is tighter and leans on a single fashion icon. Both collection pages are already live and empty, which is the clearest signal that inventory loads on launch day. If a specific matching set is the goal, decide on your sizes before September 17 and be on the site at launch. Accessories in particular deserve a second look before you add them to the cart, because you are not sending them back.
