Haikyu!! 'Vs. The Little Giant' Movie Set for 2027 Debut; New TV Special Also Confirmed

Production I.G. has officially confirmed the release window for the second concluding Haikyu!! film. Fans can expect Haikyu!! the Movie: VS The Little Giant to premiere in 2027. This announcement arrived via a new teaser visual and trailer just before the end of 2025, clearly setting the stage for the intense Karasuno versus Kamomedai match during the nationals tournament.

This feature directly follows the events of HAiKYU!!: The Dumpster Battle, which began streaming on platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll on October 31, 2024.

The official website notably dropped the word 'Final' from the upcoming movie's branding. This immediately sparked speculation online about potential future Haikyu!! content beyond these two planned features. The newly released trailer footage highlighted high-level volleyball action, focusing heavily on Hinata’s pursuit of the Little Giant legacy as he faces off against Kamomedai’s standout ace, Hoshiumi.

In related news, the production team also announced a dedicated TV special. This special will cover the Fukurodani versus Mujinazaka quarterfinal match, ensuring the entire nationals arc receives significant screen time.

Haruichi Furudate’s original manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2020, spawning four full TV seasons starting in 2014, along with various OVAs and stage adaptations. Production I.G. has handled all animation duties throughout the franchise. While a specific date in 2027 is not yet available, fans should prepare for a lengthy build-up period, given the roughly 18-month gap between the announcement and release for The Dumpster Battle. The latest promotional poster features key players from both Karasuno and Kamomedai, intensifying anticipation for Karasuno's crucial final flight.
