Fate/stay night watch order
Treat the three Fate/stay night routes as separate adaptations, then approach Fate/Zero as the prequel.
Fate/stay night is best understood as branching routes rather than one linear season list. Start with Unlimited Blade Works, then explore the 2006 route, Heaven’s Feel, or Fate/Zero as separate related paths.

FAQ
Fate/stay night watch order questions
Quick answers to the questions people actually search.
Where should I start Fate?
Start with Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, then its second season.
Should I watch Fate/Zero first?
Fate/Zero is a prequel, but it is best kept as a separate later route after a Fate/stay night adaptation.
Are the Heaven's Feel films required after Unlimited Blade Works?
They are an alternate Fate/stay night route, so they are optional rather than a continuation of Unlimited Blade Works.
