After dominating the box office in Japan, Haikyu!! is about to go global for what will surely be the biggest volleyball you’ve ever seen. Here are all the details on the Haikyu movie release date and how to watch it.

Haikyu!! was already one of the best sports anime ever, but now the climactic film is only making that more apparent. Haikyu!! The Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump already has a few box office records under its belt, and the competition has yet to go international.

Since Hinata and Kageyama first met in Haruichi Furudate’s manga back in 2011, we knew this day would come. One day, they’d be seniors looking at graduation, and the next step in their volleyball careers would be that coveted regional championship.

Can they win? You’ll need to watch the new movie, Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle to find out. Here comes all the information over the net, get ready!

Haikyu!! movie global release date

The Haikyu!! movie arrives in US and UK theaters on May 31, 2024.

The Haikyu movie was initially only released in Japan where it went on to earn more than 61 million USD in the box office. It later got its release dates in Hong Kong and Taiwan on April 11 and 12 respectively.

In CinemaCon 2024, the first major update on the anime movie came with its international release dates in Europe and North and South America. While the CinemaCon 2024 revealed no information about the movie releasing in Asia, the release dates in the continent are finally announced.

Sony and Crunchyroll are handling international distribution of the film, allowing for a wide release of the upcoming anime movie.

Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle opened in Japan on February 16, 2024, becoming one of the highest-grossing movies of the year for Japanese audiences. Only time will tell what kind of returns the film sees globally, but we’re betting it’ll make a pretty penny.

Haikyu!! movie plot

Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle covers the epic showdown between rival schools Karasuno and Nekoma.

The two volleyball teams are competing to be crowned the best in the country, an aspiration Shoyo Hinata and Tobio Kageyama have been working towards since the first season.

It’s appropriate, then, that all their hard work has led to the big screen. The prize will be hotly contested, and we can expect Nekoma’s team to go even harder than usual, leading to some of the greatest sequences from the show yet. Honestly, Haikyu!! in the cinema is going to be special.

Haikyu!! movie trailer

The subtitled Haikyu!! The Dumpsters Battle trailer arrived in April 2024. We see the history of Hinata and Karasuno, and their promise to always do their best, leading to this moment. It’s enough to bring a tear to the eye!

The first trailer for Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle came out in late 2023, and it focused on Hinata and Karasuno preparing for their big match. We get a sense of the heightened production value, with glimpses of players on the court getting stuck into each other.

In the light of the announcement of the Haikyu movie’s global release date, Crunchyroll has recently rereleased the trailer of the movie with English subtitles.

Will the Haikyu!! movie be streaming?

No, the Haikyu!! movie will not be streaming — at first. The movie will have a theatrical release worldwide at the end of June, before coming to Crunchyroll some time afterward.

We’d expect to see Haikyu!! The Dumpster Movie on the Crunchyroll streaming platform in July or August 2024 — watch this space.
