With the live-action Blue Lock film adding five more cast members this week, the anime is back in the conversation — and the most common question is still the simplest: where do you actually watch it? Here's the platform-neutral answer, plus where the show lands on the rankings.
Quick answer Blue Lock (2022, studio 8bit) streams on Crunchyroll worldwide with subs and an English dub, and on Netflix in many regions. The football battle-royale ran 24 episodes in its first season, with the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan arc continuing the story. According to SenpaiRanks, Blue Lock ranks high on the Consensus board (broadly loved) while sitting a notch lower on Quality — the exact split that tells you it's a crowd-pleaser more than a critical darling.
Where to watch Blue Lock - Crunchyroll — full first season, sub and dub, available in most regions. - Netflix — carries the series in select regions; check your local catalog. - The Episode Nagi spin-off film is also circulating on streaming and home video.
We list every platform without bias — that's the difference from a single-service catalog. If it's on Netflix in your country, we'll say so.
The ranking read This is where the dual-axis matters. On a single-score site, Blue Lock is "an 8 and done." On SenpaiRanks you get two numbers: a strong Consensus rank (huge, engaged fanbase) and a slightly cooler Quality rank (the animation dips under the manga's set-piece ambition in spots). That gap is the honest answer to "is Blue Lock good?" — yes, if you want momentum and hype; temper expectations if you want sakuga every episode. Rate it on its ranking page and push your own score into the board.
