Blue Lock Chapter 266 release date and time

As the exact time varies across different regions, you can check out the schedule based on your timezone below.

Where to read Blue Lock Chapter 266?

Blue Lock fans can read the upcoming chapter on Kodansha's K Manga platform. It is important to note that though the platform can be accessed via both mobile application and website, it is exclusive to US audiences only. Apart from K Manga, Blue Lock hasn't revealed its availability online elsewhere. While there are no subscription fees, a point-based purchase plan is required to gain access to the latest chapters.

What to expect from Blue Lock Chapter 266?

Although it is too early for concrete spoilers for the forthcoming chapter of Muneyuki Kaneshiro's beloved shonen manga, fans have started drawing speculative theories. The previous chapter set the stage for Michael Kaiser's Impact: Magnus, creating a lot of buzz online. It is likely that Chapter 266 will bring more clarity by revealing the aftermath of Kaiser's move. Fans can also expect to see a heavy-hearted Alexis Ness should Kiyora Jin replace him.
