For a first watch, follow the TV seasons in order and fit the four films into the story breaks below. If you would rather avoid switching between a season and a film, finish each season first and watch the films afterward in release order; they are supplementary, not required to continue the series.
Recommended My Hero Academia watch order
This arc-based order follows the viewing guide published by Crunchyroll and updated May 4, 2026. The film placements are editorial guidance around story breaks, not an official episode-by-episode chronology.

Crunchyroll’s guide divides seasons into story arcs to suggest where the films fit; it does not establish an official chronology for every episode and movie. See Crunchyroll’s watch-order guide.
The simpler season-first option
If you prefer not to pause a season midway, watch Seasons 1 through 7 in order, then watch the four films in their release order, followed by FINAL SEASON. This is the easiest route to track. It gives up the more granular story-break placements, but the films are optional additions: you can skip them and continue the TV series.

What the eight-season TV order includes
The official anime episode index lists numbered Seasons 1 through 7 and FINAL SEASON, making eight TV seasons in all. The official site announced that FINAL SEASON would begin broadcasting in Japan on October 4, 2025. Check the official My Hero Academia anime site.
Where the four films fit
| Film | Suggested placement | Context |
|---|---|---|
| My Hero Academia: Two Heroes | During the Season 3 break, after its opening episodes and before the rest of the season | First feature film; originally premiered in Japan in 2018. |
| My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising | Around the Season 4-era break | Class 1-A travels to Nabu Island for practical hero work. |
| My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission | After Season 5 | Crunchyroll’s guide places the third film here. |
| My Hero Academia: You’re Next | After Season 7 and before FINAL SEASON | Fourth film; its Japanese release was scheduled for August 2, 2024. |
The recommended breaks are useful for preserving character and setting context, but they should not be mistaken for a production-confirmed, episode-by-episode timeline. Crunchyroll’s guide provides the film placements; the official site confirms the TV season naming and broadcast information.
Rank #2
Optional specials, recaps, and spin-off
Keep extra material outside the main sequence if your goal is to follow the central TV story and films. Crunchyroll’s guide includes recap episodes titled My Hero Academia: Memories, OVAs such as Make It! Do-or-Die Survival Training!, HLB, Laugh! As if you are in hell, and U.A. Heroes Battle, plus the spin-off My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. The official episode index also lists the short specials I am a hero too and More. These are additional viewing entries, not numbered seasons; Vigilantes is a spin-off rather than a step in the main-series order. Crunchyroll’s guide lists the optional extras.

Streaming catalogs vary by country and change over time, so check the current catalog for your region rather than assuming one service has every season, film, and special. Crunchyroll has published availability information for select territories and languages, but those announcements do not establish universal availability.
