Blue Lock (often misspelled as “Bue Lock”) Season 2 (titled Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan) has already aired and concluded. It premiered on October 5, 2024, and ran for 14 episodes until December 28, 2024.
Season 3 has been officially confirmed and is in production. It will adapt the highly anticipated Neo Egoist League arc. A specific release date has not been universally confirmed in all sources as of mid-2026 (some fan reports and posts suggest a possible October 2026 window, aligning with prior seasons’ fall schedules), but it is expected in 2026, potentially later in the year following a live-action film.
Bue Lock Season: Plot Details
Season 2 picks up after the intense selections in Season 1. The Blue Lock project faces potential shutdown. The remaining top players must form a team to face Japan’s U-20 national team in a high-stakes exhibition match that determines the program’s future.
- Key arcs covered: Third Selection tryouts, team formation, and the full Blue Lock 11 vs. U-20 Japan match.
- Major highlights include rivalries (especially Isagi vs. Rin), the introduction of new dynamics with characters like Sae Itoshi on the U-20 side, flow states, tactical battles, and dramatic goals. The season ends with Blue Lock’s victory, Ego declaring Phase 1 complete, and teases for international challenges (including a post-credits scene with Michael Kaiser).
The story continues the core premise: Yoichi Isagi and other egoistic strikers train ruthlessly to become Japan’s best forward and win the World Cup.
