Blue Lock season 2 release schedule: When is episode 8 out?
Epic soccer action awaits in the sports anime’s new season.
The most intense portrayal of soccer in anime has returned with Blue Lock season 2, with Yoichi Isagi and his fellow competitors facing their biggest challenge yet.
Blue Lock follows the story of Yoichi Isagi, a down-on-his-luck high school football player who decides to join the programme, Blue Lock.
This programme is headed by Jinpachi Ego, an elusive, enigmatic genius whose sole goal is to lead the Japan soccer team back to stardom after the team failed miserably in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Only the best striker in the world will do for for Jinpachi, and as established in the first season, any who fail the Blue Lock programme will never be permitted to represent Japan, ever.
A whole season later, Yoichi and co face a new challenge that pits the competitors of Blue Lock against Japan's U-20 soccer team. Will they be able to weather the storm? Episode 5 marked the end of the tryouts for the U-20 team - so the stakes are only going to get higher from here.
However, with the series now into its stride, there's been discussion about the animation quality of season 2, with one of the animators recently telling ComicBook.com that they "did the best" they could with the new season. Fans are very much hoping the animation will improve from here on out.
Regardless, here's everything we know about the Blue Lock season 2 release schedule.

Blue Lock season 2 episode 8 will be released on Saturday 23rd November 2024.
The new episode will be released at 5pm GMT/9:00am Pacific/12:00pm Eastern.
