This year's 27th issue of Shueisha 's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that production on a third season of the Kuroko's Basketball television anime has been green-lit. Broadcast times and more details will be in future issues of the magazine, which runs Tadatoshi Fujimaki 's original manga.

The first anime season based on the manga ran from April to September of 2012. The second season premiered last October. Weekly Shonen Jump notes that it has been less than two months since the "battle to the death" between the Seirin and Yōsen High School basketball teams at the end of the second season.
