Anime fans just received major news from Jump Festa 2026, and it’s especially exciting for viewers who fell in love with Netflix’s breakout romance anime, Blue Box. The series, which blends heartfelt relationships with competitive sports, officially confirmed its Season 2 release window, along with the first teaser visual for the upcoming arc. As Netflix continues expanding its slate of romance-driven anime, Blue Box remains one of its biggest global hits — and its return next year marks one of the platform’s most anticipated releases.
Blue Box Season 2 Release Window Confirmed for Fall 2026
During its dedicated Super Stage event at Jump Festa, Blue Box announced that Season 2 will premiere in Fall 2026. While an exact date has not yet been shared, the anime is expected to drop sometime in early October 2026, following a release window similar to Season 1.
The event also debuted a new key visual, teasing the next chapter of Taiki and Chinatsu’s evolving story. Season 1 adapted material through the Autumn Training arc (roughly 80 chapters), meaning plenty of manga content remains for future seasons.
The manga’s creator also revealed that the Blue Box manga is approaching its final arc, possibly concluding before Season 2 hits Netflix — but the anime still has substantial material to adapt.
Where Blue Box Season 2 Will Stream
Just like Season 1, Blue Box Season 2 will stream exclusively on Netflix worldwide. More details about episode counts, weekly schedule, and the exact premiere date are expected to be announced closer to release.
Netflix continues to invest heavily in anime romance, and Blue Box remains one of its most-watched titles in the genre.
What to Expect from Blue Box Season 2
Season 2 is shaping up to be one of the most emotional chapters yet. With the story now moving beyond the early stages of the characters’ athletic and personal journeys, several major developments are on the horizon.
The new season is expected to explore:
- Taiki and Chinatsu’s slowly deepening relationship, which could finally take a more definitive romantic turn.
- Hina’s heartbreak, whose lingering feelings for Taiki add a bittersweet layer to the story.
- New sports arcs, featuring intense badminton and basketball challenges as the characters chase personal and athletic growth.
- A shift in team dynamics, as rivalries strengthen and motivations mature with each competition.
Season 2 may also mirror Season 1’s episode count, potentially running 24–25 episodes, which would allow the show to air weekly from Fall 2026 through March 2027 — though this hasn’t been officially confirmed.
