Blue Lock Chapter 312: Spoiler & Leak Schedule
Fans of Blue Lock are eagerly waiting for Chapter 312, especially after the intense build-up to the U-20 World Cup. Luckily, there’s no break scheduled for the manga, so the next chapter is expected to release on time. If the manga follows its usual pattern, spoilers and leaks for Chapter 312 will likely surface online between Saturday, July 19, 2025, and Monday, July 21, 2025. These early leaks often come from raw scans shared by fans in Japan.
The official release of Blue Lock Chapter 312 will be on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in the U.S. at 10 AM CT, 8 AM PT, and 11 AM ET. In Japan, the chapter will be available on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 12 AM JST.
In the previous chapter, titled “Side-B,” the story begins with Isagi and Hiori practicing for the upcoming match. Hiori sends a cross to Isagi, who scores but still criticizes him for the weak pass. When Hiori struggles to improve it right away, Karasu defends him, sparking an argument that Oliver Aiku steps in to stop. The real twist happens when JFU chairman Buratsuta enters the scene. He reveals that the World Cup squad will include 26 players instead of 23, and he will personally select the final three.
One of those players is already confirmed to be Sae Itoshi, who will join during the knockout stage. The other two will be chosen through a new challenge called the Side-B survival program, where 300 players will compete for those two spots. This announcement causes shock and tension within the team. After Buratsuta leaves, Isagi questions coach Jinpachi Ego, who responds by saying he doesn’t want to use any of Buratsuta’s chosen players.
The chapter ends with only two hours left before Japan’s first match against Nigeria in the U-20 World Cup. Chapter 312 is expected to focus on the start of that high-stakes match and possibly show how the Side-B survival program affects the team moving forward. With the stage set and the pressure building, the next chapter promises plenty of excitement and drama. Fans won’t have to wait long to get a sneak peek once the leaks start dropping just before the official release.
