United States
The English dub was distributed throughout North America by Bandai Entertainment. In the United States, the anime premiered on 01 February 2003[3] and ran until 04 April 2004. Initially, the series aired during Cartoon Network's Toonami: Super Saturday block from 01 February 2003 to 22 February 2003. The block's cancellation prompted the show to be moved to the channel's Saturday Video Entertainment System (SVES), which began on 01 March 2003. Due to the schedule shift, the next episode didn't air until 28 March 2003.

Korea
닷 핵 사인 aired as "DOT HACK" on 온게임넷 (Ongamenet (OGN)) in South Korea. It started airing in September 2003 and until October 2003. It also aired on ANIONE (애니원). Both channels aired 26 episodes, skipping Evidence but including Intermezzo.
According to fans on the Namu Wiki, the midnight airing time every Tuesday-Wednesday was very popular, but broadcast inconsistencies during OGN's weekly rebroadcasts (5:30pm Thursday-Friday, 1:00pm Sunday) caused viewers who missed out on the original broadcast frustration. Viewers who attempted to record the show gave up, so unofficial recordings of the Korean dub are considered lost.
