Start point
Start with Season 1, episode 1. There is no alternate first step, prequel route, or filler-cut branch to learn before beginning.
TV endpoint
The current TV anime ends at episode 85, “The Promised Land.” That is the end of Season 4 on this site.
What comes next
After Season 4, continue with Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle. That is the real next story step, while the recap movies stay optional.
Movies: recap vs continuation
Most of the confusion is not about seasons. It is about which movie is optional and which one actually moves the story forward.
Optional recap movie
Haikyuu!! The Movie: Ending and Beginning condense TV material you already get in episode form. They are fine as refreshers, but they are not required steps in the main route.
Real continuation movie
Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle belongs after Season 4 because it continues the Karasuno vs Nekoma material rather than retelling old episodes.
