Recent English volumes have come out about every 9 months. The English edition runs about 1.1 years behind Japan. How we predict

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Oct 18, 2016 from Seven Seas. In the 9.9 years since, 17 volumes have come out — one about every 7 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 9 months). The longest wait was 1.4 years, between Vol. 12 and Vol. 13.

Japan is at Vol. 20 (Sep 10, 2026), so 3 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 2.2 years.
