🔥 Blue Lock Season 3 Overview

Following the global success of its first two seasons, Blue Lock Season 3 is easily one of the most anticipated sports anime continuations. With the anime diving deep into egoism, competition, and elite-level football, the next season promises even more intensity, rivalries, and revelations.

Though an official announcement is still pending, the structure and pacing of the anime strongly suggest that Season 3 is already in the works, aiming to adapt the Neo Egoist League arc—a turning point in the Blue Lock story.

📅 Blue Lock Season 3 Release Date: What We Know

As of July 2025, Blue Lock Season 3 has not been officially announced, but it is heavily expected to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026.

Why? Because:

• Season 1 aired from October 2022 to March 2023
• Season 2 is set to premiere in October 2024
• The spinoff film “Blue Lock: Episode Nagi” was released in April 2024
• Manga chapters for Season 3 are already published and ready for adaptation

Given this pattern, a Fall 2025 or Winter 2026 release is most likely.

📖 Plot: What Will Happen in Blue Lock Season 3?

Season 3 will adapt the fan-favorite Neo Egoist League arc, covering Chapters 96 to around 150+ of the manga. After surviving the intense Second Selection and Third Selection, Isagi Yoichi and others are thrust into a global proving ground.

⭐ Key elements of Season 3’s plot include:

• International Matches: Blue Lock players are drafted into global teams like Bastard München, PXG (Paris X Gen), and Manshine City to train under real-world pro players.
• Isagi vs Kaiser: The rivalry between Isagi Yoichi and Michael Kaiser of Bastard München becomes central. This is where Isagi begins to evolve his ego and football intellect.
• New Blue Lock Players: The season introduces players like Julian Loki, Noel Noa, Snuffy, and Rin Itoshi’s growing dynamic with Shidou.
• Real-Life Football References: Inspired by real clubs (e.g., PSG, Manchester City, Bayern Munich), the anime blends real-world flair with high-stakes fiction.

This arc is strategic, emotional, and thrilling—fans of Haikyuu!! and Ao Ashi will find it gripping.
