Blue Lock season two will officially debut in just a few months' time, with an official premiere date of Saturday, October 5, 2024. So set your calendars accordingly.
Better yet, we now know that the show will also stream on Crunchyroll when it premieres in October, so fans outside of Japan can get in on the action.
For many, the release date has been a long time coming. The second season was immediately confirmed after the end credits of the season-one finale back in March 2023.
In case you don't remember, the high-scoring soccer anime ended with Isagi and his team duking it out with the International Five, but what does the future have in store?
Here's everything you need to know about Blue Lock season two.
When will Blue Lock season 2 air?
Blue Lock will return to screens on October 5, 2024, it's been confirmed.
We already knew the release window, which was announced on the show's official X (Twitter) account along with a commemorative illustration by the manga artist Yusuke Nomura.
Watch Blue Lock on Crunchyroll
Crunchyroll also confirmed that the full season will stream on the service for all fans outside of Japan in October, which they announced during the Anime Expo 2024 industry panel.

Season one aired from October 2022 to March 2023. Across its 24 episodes, the anime covered 11 volumes (roughly 90 chapters) of the manga, which originally started in 2018.
For those impatiently waiting for the second season, there is some more good news to share. A spin-off movie, titled Blue Lock: Episode Nagi, was released in Japan on April 19 and is set to be released in North America on June 28.
It has also now been confirmed that the Blue Lock movie will hit UK cinemas on July 5, with both subtitled and dubbed versions.
The movie will, as its name suggests, be a prequel focused on Seishiro Nagi, one of the original show's core characters. If you don't remember, Nagi was a detached and despondent teen at the show's start, only to become one of its fiercest competitors after a rivalry with Isagi ignited a passion for winning.
Who's in Blue Lock season 2?
We'd expect Blue Lock season two to bring back the majority of its core voice cast, including the following:
• Yoichi Isagi – Kazuki Ura (Japanese), Ricco Fajardo (English)
• Meguru Bachira – Kaito Tasuku (Japanese), Drew Breedlove (English)
• Jinpachi Ego – Hiroshi Kamiya (Japanese), Derick Snow (English)
• Seishiro Nagi – Nobunaga Shimazaki (Japanese), Bryson Baugus (English)
• Shōei Barō – Junichi Suwabe (Japanese), Matthew David Rudd (English)
• Hyoma Chigiri – Soma Saito (Japanese), Aaron Dismuke (English)
• Rin Itoshi – Kouki Uchiyama (Japanese), Matt Shipman (English)
• Jyubei Aryu – Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Bradley Gareth (English)
• Aoshi Tokimitsu – Shinnosuke Tachibana (Japanese), Jordan Dash Cruz (English)
• Rensuke Kunigami – Yuuki Ono (Japanese), Alex Hom (English)
What will happen in Blue Lock season 2?
The first season of Blue Lock covered half the currently-published source manga, which means season two would most likely adapt volumes 12-23. This means that, for impatient fans, there are plenty of details about what Blue Lock season two might cover. Read on for some minor spoilers about what could be in store.
After the events of Blue Lock season one, the core players advance to the Third Selection. Here the top 35 players in the program must compete to form a team of eleven, eventually competing against Japan's national Under 20 team.
After the 'U-20' arc, events in the manga get even wilder! Without spoiling too much, it turns out Ego has much bigger plans in place to test the abilities of his players – including a massive international, televised tournament.
