Blue Lock Season 3 Episode 1 Release Date & Where to Watch (2026)
Blue Lock season 3, subtitled Neo Egoist League, premieres with episode 1 on October 9, 2026, streaming weekly on Crunchyroll as a same-day simulcast.
No Netflix release date has been confirmed yet for season 3, even though seasons 1 and 2 have both been available on Netflix France since May 25, 2026, alongside Crunchyroll.
Studio 8bit is producing the new season, which picks up right after the Japan U-20 match arc that closed out the 14 episodes of season 2 between October 5 and December 28, 2024.

Episode 1 of Blue Lock: Neo Egoist League drops on October 9, 2026, and this date is now treated as confirmed across official Crunchyroll communications.

Where to watch Blue Lock season 3 in the US, UK and EU
Will Blue Lock season 3 be available on Netflix
As of now, Crunchyroll is the only confirmed platform for Blue Lock season 3, with new episodes simulcast weekly right after the Japanese broadcast.
Netflix has not announced a season 3 date, which is a separate situation from seasons 1 and 2, both already streaming on Netflix France since May 25, 2026.
If you are in the US, UK, or anywhere in the EU, here is the practical way to watch from day one:
- Create or log into a Crunchyroll account and check whether your region requires a Fan or Mega Fan subscription for simulcast access.
- Add Blue Lock: Neo Egoist League to your watchlist so episode 1 unlocks automatically on October 9, 2026.
- For seasons 1 and 2, use either Crunchyroll or Netflix France, since both already carry the full 24 plus 14 episode back catalog.
- Keep an eye on Netflix's own catalog pages for season 3, since a later addition is possible but not yet dated.

What does the Neo Egoist League arc adapt from the manga
What story does the Neo Egoist League arc adapt
Neo Egoist League is the arc that follows the Japan U-20 match storyline animated in season 2, moving Isagi and the other strikers into a new competitive league format built around individual club teams.
This is also the arc that gave the store's eight club jerseys their names, from Bastard Munchen to PXG, since each team corresponds to a striker's new Neo Egoist League club in the manga.
For a full breakdown of the arc's plot beats and character roster, our dedicated guide at Blue Lock Saison 3 Neo Egoist League goes deeper than a release-date article can.
