The wider project began with the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club TV anime in 2020, followed by its second season in 2022 and the NEXT SKY original video anime in 2023. The three-film conclusion began with the first chapter in 2024.14
Our opinion
A firm release date gives this final chapter a much clearer shape than the earlier winter 2027 window. The useful detail here is not just the date: the teaser and official synopsis make it clear that the trilogy is bringing the club back to Tokyo for its final School Idol GPX round, while the streaming date for the second film gives viewers a straightforward way to catch up before the cinema release. The story is still a few months away from its Japanese theatrical opening, but the final chapter now has a defined launch point and a concrete promotional push behind it.12
The film opens in Japan on 5 February 2027. International release details have not been announced in the cited sources.
