The update comes straight from the team behind Blue Lock as you can see below. The long-awaited series released its main trailer after weeks of radio silence. As you can see, it showcases all of the manga’s top players as they learn the ins and outs of soccer. So if you are a fan of shows like Haikyu or Kokoro’s Basketball, this show will be a must-watch!
Of course, the trailer also confirmed when the show will debut. Blue Lock is officially looking to drop this October. Fans are hardly surprised by this given the anime’s marketing schedule as the timing lines up for a late 2022 premiere. And with it eyeing an October debut, Blue Lock will be on air with some major competition.

After all, this fall will be stacked with some of the industry’s biggest series. My Hero Academia, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Spy x Family, Golden Kamuy, and more will be live this fall. It is also likely Chainsaw Man will join the season at some point, so Blue Lock will have its work cut out for them. But given its manga’s popularity, fans are confident this sports anime will find a niche for itself without much issue.
