The Ace of Diamond franchise is in the middle of a promotional push tied to its ongoing second season of the actII anime, which began airing in April 2026. Two merchandise collaborations have been announced in quick succession, both centered on the current season and its cast of Seido High School players.

In late May 2026, a cafe collaboration with 22 Curry opened at the chain's Akihabara location, running from May 27 to June 18. The event features six Seido characters in newly drawn casual outfits, with themed food and drink items, and offers bonus goods for purchases above set thresholds. Shortly after, Bandai Namco Experience announced that four character mascot plushies-Eijun Sawamura, Satoru Furuya, Kazuya Miyuki, and Kaoru Yui-will be available as prizes at Namco amusement facilities and via Namco Online Crane starting June 12, 2026.

The original manga series has surpassed 45 million copies in print as of March 2026, a milestone that coincides with the franchise's 20th anniversary. The two collaborations represent the most concrete recent activity around the property, with no further production announcements or broadcast details beyond the current season's April 2026 start.
