Ace of Diamond act II -Second Season- returned for its second cour on October 11, 2026, on TV Tokyo and its affiliated channels, with Netflix streaming in Japan after broadcast. The second cour opens on the West Tokyo Tournament final against Inashiro Industrial. GLAY performs the opening theme "NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN" and OxT performs the ending theme "ROAD TO BE BLUE." Hideaki Oba is listed as director. Before the premiere, a special program pairing the anime with former NPB and MLB slugger Hideki Matsui aired October 4, with Ryota Osaka, the voice of Eijun Sawamura, as MC.

The cast additions and tie-ins around the broadcast have been steady. Daisuke Sakuma of Snow Man voices Shinichiro Saotome, and Masayoshi Oishi, who performs the ending theme as part of OxT, said on X that his March 2026 wish to work on the same anime as Sakuma came true. JR Tokai's Oshi Tabi campaign ran from August 3 to September 30, offering Tokaido Shinkansen passengers original voice messages from six characters, a random original fan, and a smartphone wallpaper at the Koshien History Museum.

Merchandise has moved through several formats since the fall. A K2C Lottery with band-themed artwork of six characters opened October 16 and ran through November 6 at 770 yen per draw. A Rose collection from Team Entertainment, built on one seated illustration of five characters in colored suits, takes pre-orders for late February 2027. Good Smile Arts Shanghai opened preorders for a re-release of its Kazuya Miyuki Nendoroid, listed at 6,717 yen with an April 30, 2027 release date. The Large "Ace of Diamond act II" Original Art Exhibition POP UP STORE runs at Tobu Utsunomiya from December 17, 2026 to January 3, 2027. Pizza-La sells a collab pizza from November 12 to December 27, 2026, pairing Sawamura's Numbers Mix with Mei Narumiya's Classic Pepperoni & Mascarpone.
