In addition to the Season 3 announcement, a live-action Blue Lock film has also been greenlit for Summer 2026, perfectly timed with the next FIFA World Cup.
When Will Blue Lock Season 3 Release?
Blue Lock Season 3 doesn’t have an official release date. However, expect a release sometime in the summer or winter of 2026.
Blue Lock Season 3 will follow the Neo Egoist League storyline, one of the manga’s most popular arcs. This arc takes the competition global, with Isagi, Rin, Nagi, and the rest making their world-stage debut. It’s going to be full of intense rivalries, game-changing developments, and likely some of the strongest character development so far.
Creator Muneyuki Kaneshiro called the announcement a “new beginning for Isagi.” Illustrator Yusuke Nomura hinted at the debut of powerhouse overseas players who will be putting the Blue Lock team to the test.
Although Season 2 faced heavy criticism for its animation, the upcoming season could be a chance to redeem itself with improved animation and pacing.
