A few fans suggest that the PR team might have made a mistake in the caption.

The official Twitter account for the popular soccer series Blue Lock posted an update on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, suggesting the upcoming TV anime will air in 2023 instead of 2022 as announced previously.

The reveal of the date came up with the announcement of the release of the manga’s first chapter in the Manga Pocket app.

A part of the above tweet translates to:

“TV anime #Blue Lock will be broadcast in 2023 “
