No, there is no official World War 3 in The Simpsons canon, though the show has joked about World War 3 in non-canon Treehouse of Horror and future episodes. The Simpsons is a satirical comedy set in present day, and it avoids depicting actual global wars as canon events. However, there are episodes that reference or parody World War 3. In some Treehouse of Horror episodes, which are non-canon Halloween specials, there are apocalyptic scenarios with nuclear war and zombies that could be interpreted as WW3. In future-set episodes like Bart to the Future, there are references to wars and conflicts but not explicitly WW3. In Season 6 Episode 2, Lisa's Wedding, set in 2010, there is a reference to a war. The show has depicted World War 2 in flashbacks with Abe Simpson. Fans have created fake images online claiming The Simpsons predicted WW3 in a specific year like 2025 or 2026, showing Homer in military gear, but these are hoaxes and edited images, not real episodes. The Simpsons writers have never written a canon episode about WW3. The show does satirize war, military, and politics, but it has not depicted WW3 as an actual storyline. So there is no WW3 in The Simpsons official canon, only jokes, non-canon apocalyptic Treehouse of Horror segments, and internet hoaxes claiming predictions that are not real.

There is no official World War 3 storyline in The Simpsons canon main continuity, though there are episodes with jokes about WW3, apocalyptic scenarios, and future wars in Treehouse of Horror non-canon episodes, but no episode depicting WW3 as central plot, with show avoiding realistic WW3 due to comedy nature. The Simpsons is animated sitcom set in Springfield, focusing on family comedy and satire, not war drama, with occasional jokes about war and military, like episode Season 9 Episode 19 Simpson Tide where Homer joins Navy and nearly starts WW3 by accidentally launching submarine into Russian waters, played for comedy with Russia and US tensions, but not actual WW3, and episode ends without war. Treehouse of Horror episodes, which are annual Halloween specials with non-canon horror parodies, include apocalyptic scenarios with nuclear war, zombies, and end of world, but these are parodies not canon WW3. In future-set episodes like Bart to the Future Season 11 Episode 17, there is no WW3 mentioned, focus is on Lisa as President and budget crunch. Some fan-made fake images claim Simpsons predicted WW3, but these are edited hoaxes not real episodes, with no official Simpsons episode predicting or depicting WW3. So there is no WW3 in The Simpsons canon main series, only jokes about near-war and apocalyptic parodies in Treehouse of Horror non-canon episodes, with show not depicting realistic World War 3, as it is comedy sitcom avoiding dark war storylines, with only satirical near-war jokes like Homer almost starting WW3 in Simpson Tide episode.
