SM Cinemas previously teased an earlier release date in the Philippines, but at the time of writing, had not yet revealed any information. Medialink describes the plot of the Haikyu movie:

“Shoyo Hinata was inspired to play volleyball after watching “Little Giant” in elementary school. Despite a heavy loss to middle school rival Tobio Kageyama, Hinata joined Karasuno High School's volleyball team and found Kageyama there. Old enemies unite, forging a formidable partnership with Hinata's agility and Kageyama's precision.

During a joint training camp with Nekoma High School, Hinata meets her future rival, Kenma Kozume. While Karasuno focuses on aggressive attacks, Nekoma excels in defense, embodying the motto “Connect”. Through these meetings, Karasuno learns new strategies and abilities.

In the Miyagi Prefectural Spring High School Volleyball Tournament and preliminary round, Karasuno defeated formidable opponents, culminating in a spectacular victory over Inarizaki High School. They are preparing to face long-time rival Nekoma High School in the highly anticipated third round. Despite many practice matches, these two powerhouse teams have never officially clashed. This long-awaited match was famously nicknamed “The Trash Can Battle.”

The film will hit theaters in May 2024 in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, India and the Philippines. The exact premiere date has not yet been revealed. Medialink also opened the film in Hong Kong and Macau on April 11 and Taiwan on April 12. The film is available in IMAX, 4DX and MX4D, with English subtitles.
