Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 15 entries in chronological viewing order.

The Fate watch order gathers Studio DEEN's adaptations, the Heaven's Feel film trilogy and assorted OVAs into one sequence, opening with the 25-episode Fate/stay night before its follow-up 24- and 25-episode runs. The Sunny Day OVA and the standalone Heaven's Feel movie slot in next, followed by another 25-episode block. The three theatrical Heaven's Feel films — Presage Flower, Lost Butterfly and Spring Song — form the trilogy that closes out that route. From there the order continues through several 10-episode blocks with the Dance at the Sports Festival! and Magical Girl in Hot Springs Inn OVAs placed between them, ending on a final 12-episode run. Rooted in the Holy Grail War, where mages summon heroic Servants to battle for an omnipotent wish, this order keeps each OVA and film in its correct window. If you are deciding where to start, begin with the first 25-episode series and follow the sequence as listed.
