Blue Lock is locked and loaded for a second season. The fans have spoken. We want more sports drama. More soccer sociopathy. More nets and narcissism. More cleats and cheats. More … you get the idea.
What is Blue Lock about?
Blue Lock is about what happens when you want to win at ANY cost. And that includes the mental health and well-being of teenagers! Japan is sick of losing the World Cup. Done. Finito. To have a shot at victory, the powers that be have commissioned a soccer program that will turn talented young athletes into the greatest and most egotistical soccer stars in the world. Yes, egotistical. The creators of the program believe that only the most arrogant, ruthless, and narcissistic players will have any hope of being the greatest in the world. Enter Yoichi Isagi, an unknown high school soccer player with dreams of being the best. He’s gonna have to bend both the rules of the game and his morals to do so. When it’s you versus 300 other soccer hopefuls, you can’t afford to be a good guy. You gotta be the BEST guy. The best WORST guy.
When is season 2 supposed to drop?
According to the official Twitter page, Blue Lock season 2 is set to premiere in October 2024. And look! It even features a commemorative illustration from the series’ creator! Look how cute Yoichi looks! He could never hurt anyone … right?
This was confirmed in a subsequent post, which says that the show will officially return on October 5th and will run for fourteen new episodes!

The Blue Lock 11 will have to go up against Japan’s national Under 20 team. Needless to say, it’s gonna get ugly.
