Blue Lock Season 2 was released on Crunchyroll on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The countdown has finished. The season’s official title is Blue Lock VS. U-20 JAPAN, and it runs for 14 episodes.
Blue Lock Season 2 release date and time
| Detail | Official launch information |
|---|---|
| International streaming platform | Crunchyroll |
| Original release date | Saturday, October 5, 2024 |
| Original release time | 9:00 a.m. PDT (16:00 UTC) |
| Season title | Blue Lock VS. U-20 JAPAN |
| Episode count | 14 |
| Countdown status | Released |
At the reference date of August 10, 2026, the original Crunchyroll premiere was 674 days earlier. Any countdown timer for this event should therefore display a completed state—such as Released or 00:00:00—rather than treating Season 2 as an upcoming launch.
What time did it release in each time zone?
Crunchyroll announced the subtitled launch for 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time while daylight saving time was in effect. That is 9:00 a.m. PDT, or 16:00 UTC.
| Time zone | Original Crunchyroll release moment |

| Pacific Daylight Time | Saturday, October 5, 2024, 9:00 a.m. PDT |
| Eastern Daylight Time | Saturday, October 5, 2024, noon EDT |
| British Summer Time | Saturday, October 5, 2024, 5:00 p.m. BST |
| Central European Summer Time | Saturday, October 5, 2024, 6:00 p.m. CEST |
| India Standard Time | Saturday, October 5, 2024, 9:30 p.m. IST |
| Japan Standard Time | Sunday, October 6, 2024, 1:00 a.m. JST |
| UTC | Saturday, October 5, 2024, 16:00 UTC |
These are conversions of the same Crunchyroll streaming instant. They are not the Japanese television broadcast times.
Why do some listings show a different Japanese time?
There are two schedules that are easy to mix up. Crunchyroll’s international subtitled release began at 9:00 a.m. PDT on October 5. In Japan, Blue Lock VS. U-20 JAPAN began on October 5 with an initial midnight broadcast arrangement; its regular TV Asahi IMAnimation slot began October 12 at 23:30 JST.
So a listing that says “midnight JST” or “23:30 JST” is referring to Japanese linear television, not evidence of a simultaneous Crunchyroll launch at that local clock time.
Where to watch Blue Lock Season 2 now
Check Crunchyroll in your region for current availability. The official English franchise site identifies Crunchyroll as the exclusive home of the two anime seasons and the BLUE LOCK: Episode Nagi film in North America and Latin America. Catalogs and streaming rights can differ by territory and change over time, so that regional statement should not be read as a guarantee for every country.
What Season 2 covers
The 14-episode season follows the U-20 Japan storyline, which is why the official season name is Blue Lock VS. U-20 JAPAN. If you are starting from the beginning, watch Season 1 first; the franchise also includes the BLUE LOCK: Episode Nagi spin-off movie.
A straightforward follow-up for manga readers
For viewers who want to continue with the source material, Blue Lock manga Volume 1 is the most direct physical pick. Kodansha lists the print edition at 208 pages with ISBN 9781646516544, and names Amazon among its print retailers. It is a franchise-specific recommendation, unlike unrelated soccer gear marketed around the series.
