The series' story is based on the continuation of the original The Prince of Tennis manga created by Takeshi Konomi and published in Weekly Shonen Jump between 1999 and 2008. Konomi's manga, titled Shin Tennis no Ouji-sama, running in Jump SQ since 2009, follows Ryoma Echizen and his friends as they wear the national team jersey in the U-17 World Cup. The anime adaptation of this story began in 2022 with The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup and continued with U-17 World Cup Semifinal, which aired from October to December 2024.

Having left Germany behind in the semifinals, Japan is now matched against Spain in the final. Final Member Selection Match focuses on the selection matches that determine which players from the Japanese squad will take the court in the final ahead of this big match. Thus, viewers will have the opportunity to closely witness how the final roster takes shape.

The franchise, which has a large fan base long referred to as Tenipuri, has become a huge universe with manga, anime, films, musicals, and video games. Therefore, the new season announcement excites not only anime viewers but also fans across the entire ecosystem of the series. While the new episodes bring important moments known to manga readers to the screen, they will also open the door to the final process for anime viewers.

In the coming days, more details about the release date, new characters, and the final roster are expected to be shared. The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Final Member Selection Match is aiming to meet viewers in autumn 2025.
