The Kuroko's Basketball franchise is active with a limited-time mobile game event, a free TV anime marathon on ABEMA, and a Tower Records pop-up shop in July 2026.
Kuroko's Basketball has seen a burst of activity in mid-2026 across games, streaming, and merchandise. In late May, Five Cross Co., Ltd. added a limited-time player, LAST GAME Kuroko, to the 3D mobile game Kuroko's Basketball Street Rivals. The character, based on the movie-era version of the protagonist, is available through a gacha from May 27 to June 17, 2026, alongside an exclusive Butler Style skin and related events.
In June, streaming platform ABEMA announced a free marathon broadcast of all 78 episodes of the TV anime, including OVAs. The series airs over three consecutive Sundays starting June 14, with each season available for one week after broadcast. This gives new and returning viewers a single-window opportunity to watch the entire series at no cost.
Most recently, a Kuroko's Basketball pop-up shop was announced for Tower Records locations in Shibuya and Abeno, running from July 3 to July 20, 2026. The shop features newly drawn character art with headphones and sells collaboration-exclusive goods such as can badges, acrylic stands, and coasters. Online orders are also available. The three stories show the franchise maintaining presence through game tie-ins, free streaming, and retail collaborations.
