As Japan prepares to face Brazil at the FIFA World Cup 2026, the BLUE LOCK phenomenon continues to grow both on and off the pitch.

The official title of the anime’s third season has now been revealed: BLUE LOCK: NEO EGOIST LEAGUE, which will adapt one of the most acclaimed story arcs from the original manga by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura.

The announcement was accompanied by a new Ultra Teaser Visual, introducing Yoichi Isagi’s next great rival: Michael Kaiser, the striker of Bastard München’s U-20 team and one of the series’ most anticipated characters.

With the Neo Egoist League arc, BLUE LOCK expands its international scope even further, bringing together the world’s most promising young football talents and reinforcing its position as one of the most influential sports anime franchises worldwide.

From a licensing perspective, the franchise continues to demonstrate remarkable growth. From collaborations with football federations and global sports brands to the launch of a highly anticipated new anime season, BLUE LOCK keeps strengthening its presence far beyond the entertainment industry.
