Besides the regular annual championships, Blue Lock could launch new partnerships during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. The qualifiers will resume later this year on all continents, so there are many opportunities for the series. Alternatively, it could start negotiating activations and collaborations to be held during the 2026 World Cup.
More news about the anime is likely to be unveiled in 2025, and it would be a good idea to air a new season or a movie during the World Cup in the next year, as soccer will become a hot topic once again.
Blue Lock is available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed.
