The second cour of Ace of the Diamond Act II Second Season will premiere in October 2026 on TV Tokyo Network, AT-X, and other broadcasters. The new episodes continue the Seido vs. Inashiro match, a rivalry the previous anime adaptation did not reach. The first cour debuted on April 5, 2026, and has aired thirteen episodes so far.
The season marks a production change: Hideaki Oba directs at OLM, replacing Mitsuyuki Masuhara, while Madhouse animated the previous Ace of the Diamond Act II series.

Hajime Hyakkoku returns from Ace of the Diamond Act II to compose the music.
GLAY will perform the opening theme, and OxT will perform the ending theme for the second cour; both artists previously contributed songs to the anime. The main cast returns, including Takahiro Sakurai as Kazuya Miyuki and Ryota Osaka as Eijun Sawamura. The series adapts Yuji Terajima's Ace of the Diamond Act II manga, which ran from 2015 to 2022. The first cour streams on Netflix in Japan and Crunchyroll internationally.
