New episodes of Blue Lock season 2 will be released weekly every Saturday. The season is expected to continue through to December, though time adjustments might occur with the end of Daylight Savings Time in some regions later in October and November.

Blue Lock season 2 is streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll, with all previous 24 episodes from the first season also available on the platform. While other streaming services like Netflix, Disney Plus, or Hulu won’t have the series, Crunchyroll remains the go-to destination for fans eager to follow the intense soccer battles in this new season.
The second season will feature 14 episodes, which aligns with the focus on the U-20 arc, centered around one crucial match between the Blue Lock players and the U-20 National Team. This season’s episode count is shorter, but given the arc’s importance, the tension and action will likely be high, culminating in January 2025 if the schedule remains uninterrupted.
The storyline promises a dramatic showdown, with 35 players left standing in the Blue Lock program. They face possible elimination by Japan’s U-20 National Team, forcing fierce rivals to join forces for a shot at becoming the top striker. The question remains whether these players can set aside their egos and work together to win, or if their individual ambitions will tear them apart and lead to defeat.
