The Prince of Tennis II is heading into a fall 2026 broadcast with The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Finals Member Decisive Match, the sequel to Semifinal. The series will premiere on TV Tokyo on September 30 at 12:00 a.m. JST, effectively October 1, and will also air on TV Osaka and TV Aichi. The story depicts the battle to decide who will represent Japan in the finals match against Spain, so the conflict turns inward to a national-team selection rather than an international team clash.
Casting and music for the new season are set. Tasuku Hatanaka voices Julio Roman, Reiji Kawashima plays Mars de Colón, Ryūho Nagaoka is Silva Serra Banbieri, and Megumi Han is Sedah, all on Spain's national team. Film actor Yū Shirota voices Romeo Fernandez, a role that follows his stage work as Kunimitsu Tezuka. The four-member unit Aozu performs the opening theme "Walls And Bridges," and Keigo Atobe and Yūshi Oshitari perform the ending theme "Kinkanshoku phenomenal."
Merchandise and magazine coverage run alongside the broadcast. Anan issue 2514, a Prince of Tennis II special edition, goes on sale October 7, 2026, with Keigo Atobe on the cover alone and a back cover shared by Ryoma Echizen, Syusuke Fuji, Keigo Atobe, and Yuushi Oshitari. A FILA collaboration offers three T-shirts for Seishun Gakuen, Hyotei Gakuen, and Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High at 6,380 yen including tax, sold from September 25, 2026.
The franchise is also marking its 25th anniversary. A talk session between Hololive member Ririka Ichinose and creator Takeshi Konomi premiered on August 26, part of the Holo to Iwai Shueisha 100th collaboration and commemorating the conclusion of The New Prince of Tennis. The September issue of Jump SQ. includes a song CD, "Pack Your Memories into the Racket," by Takeshi Konomi feat. Tenipuri Familia with 143 voice actors and Tenimyu cast members.
