Order to watch Fate: Launch
If you've never watched Fate, this is the order that might be best for you, so you won't miss out on some plots. Not to mention also that you will start watching the 2006 Animation, which many people consider extremely bad, this was the first one, obviously.
1: Fate/Stay Night (2006)

As you may already know, Fate's release order starts with Fate/Stay Night (2006), which many consider to be poorly animated. And this first production of the franchise introduces us to the story of the main protagonist and also familiarizes us with servants and holy grail.
And speaking of servants and holy grail, it is worth mentioning that we will not only see him in the first production of the franchise. In fact, we'll see them in pretty much every Fate.
Remembering that this first story takes place in the year 2004 and in a fictional city called Fuyuki. And out of curiosity, this first story was released in exactly the same year that the game of the same franchise was released.
2: Fate/Zero (2011)

Remember how we said that there are two orders of Fate, one for launch and the other for chronology? So Fate/Zero despite being released in 2011, five years after Fate/Stay Night, it takes place 10 years before the events of Fate/Stay Night.
In this production, you will be able to follow the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War, which by the way, is a secret magical tournament. This magical tournament takes place in Fuyuki City in Japan. Here seven mages known as the Masters of Servants summon reincarnations of legendary souls and also heroes of all time. Here you will be able to follow their fight in a deadly battle where the winner gets the Holy Grail.
And in case you didn't know, the Holy Grail is a legendary magical chalice capable of granting wishes.
3: Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014)

This 2014 story focuses on the trajectory of Rin Tohsaka, who is a young mage. However, this young mage has one goal, which is to enter the Holy Grail War and honor her family's name.
As we know, the Holy Grail War is a deadly conflict between servants and masters, was she prepared for it? Well, I'm already telling you that yes, she was prepared for these conflicts, and she showed it by invoking her heroic spirit of the Archer Class.
As we can see here, in this production the events of the story revolve around Rin. Oh, and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works is a reimagining of Fate/Stay Night, being the second story route.
4: Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel (2017)

And the last production of this order to watch Fate, this in order of release, we have Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel, from the year 2017. And this time we have another heroine, the Sakura, but it's not the same as Naruto lol. And speaking of the Naruto Anime, we recently made an article where we revealed How Hashirama Died, I bet you will enjoy reading it.
A detail that maybe you didn't know about Fate, is that basically all the beginnings of it are very similar, practically the same. And that happens, because it's the same story, however, as events go on, things change and become very different.
In detail, Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel was the only route that was adapted into a movie format.
Order to watch Fate: Chronological
Now that you know how to watch Fate in order of release, let's leave the chronological order in which the facts happen below. And yet, people who pay to watch the Anime in this normal order have already watched it some other time, and are now looking to watch it again.
- Fate/Zero (2011)
- Fate/Stay Night (2006)
- Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014)
- Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel (2017)
It is worth mentioning that tyrant Fate/Zero, all the others deal with the same story and in the same period of time. However, there is one little different thing that makes all the difference, they are like parallel lines in the universe where things happen differently.
I Don't Want to Watch the 2006 Animation, Which Order Should I Follow?

So, there is a special order for you who want to follow, where we will insert an extra called Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works Prologue.
