Kuroko's Basketball continues to expand through mobile game events and merchandise, with a recent limited-time LAST GAME Midorima event in Street Rivals and a Tower Records pop-up shop featuring headphone-themed goods. The full TV anime aired free on ABEMA in June 2026.
Kuroko's Basketball remains active through a mix of mobile game tie-ins and retail collaborations. In May 2026, Five Cross added LAST GAME Kuroko as a limited-time player in the 3D basketball game Kuroko's Basketball Street Rivals, available through a gacha from May 27 to June 17. The character, described as the phantom sixth man from the Teiko Middle School era, came with an exclusive Butler Style skin and related events.
In June 2026, ABEMA broadcast all 78 episodes of the TV anime for free over three consecutive Sundays, starting June 14. Season 1 aired June 14, Season 2 on June 21, and Season 3 on June 28, with episodes available for free for one week after each broadcast. The marathon gave viewers a single-window opportunity to watch the entire series at no cost.
Later that summer, a pop-up shop ran from July 3 to July 20, 2026, at Tower Records Shibuya and Abeno, selling collaboration-exclusive goods with newly drawn illustrations of characters wearing headphones. Items included can badges, acrylic stands, and coasters, with online orders also available. In August, Five Cross launched a limited-time event in Street Rivals featuring LAST GAME Midorima, running from July 29 to August 19, with a limited player gacha, a skin gacha for the Morning Garden skin, a training gacha, and the LAST GAME Midorima's Trial event.
