Blue Lock Season 2 already finished — it was the 2024 U-20 cour
If you are still counting down to a 2026 “Season 2” premiere, the calendar is wrong. BLUE LOCK Season 2 (vs. U-20 Japan) ran 14 episodes from October 5 to December 28, 2024 on TV Asahi. The egoist facility already played that national-team match on screen.
What 2026 actually announced is Season 3: Neo Egoist League
On BLUE LOCK Day (June 9, 2026) staff revealed Season 3’s title — Neo Egoist League — and Isagi/Kaiser visuals for the New Hero Wars story. No official premiere day was locked with that subtitle drop. Mixing “Season 2 2026” into that news invents a date for a season that already shipped.
How the TV seasons actually line up
- Season 1 (2022–23) — 24 episodes; Blue Lock project begins.
- Season 2 (Oct 5–Dec 28, 2024) — vs. U-20 Japan; 14 episodes (this page’s season).
- June 9, 2026 — Season 3 titled Neo Egoist League; premiere day TBA.
- Aug 7, 2026 — live-action Blue Lock film (Japan) — separate from the TV cours.
A November 2026 “Season 2” stamp is a tracker error — not a secret Pierrot delay
Season 2’s U-20 arc is in the can. Keeping a future countdown on this slug misleads searchers who want either a rewatch date or the Neo Egoist League premiere. Until 8bit/TV Asahi print Season 3’s night, the honest Season 2 answer is: already aired in late 2024.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When did Blue Lock Season 2 air?
October 5 through December 28, 2024 — 14 episodes titled vs. U-20 Japan on TV Asahi’s IMAnimation block, produced by 8bit. Crunchyroll carried the simulcast and later home releases.
2Why do some countdowns still show November 2026 for Season 2?
Those dates are stale or mixed with Season 3 speculation. Season 2 is finished. In June 2026 staff announced Season 3 under the subtitle Neo Egoist League without printing an official premiere day — do not treat a fan November stamp as a locked Season 2 rerun.
3What arc was Season 2?
The U-20 Japan match arc (manga volumes roughly 13–17): Blue Lock’s strikers versus the national U-20 side, including Oliver Aiku and Shuto Sendo. It is not the Neo Egoist League / New Hero Wars stretch reserved for Season 3.
4Is Blue Lock the same as Blue Box or Ao Ashi?
No. Blue Lock is Kaneshiro/Nomura’s ego-forward selection project. Blue Box is a sports romance; Ao Ashi is youth-club realism. Shared soccer searches often collide — check the title before setting an alarm.
