Love Live! watch order

Every Love Live! movie is a continuation of a TV series, so the films hit hardest once you know the characters. The good news: each group's story stands on its own. You can start with whichever group looks most fun to you. Release order (below) is the classic path, and it lets you catch the nods each new generation makes to the ones before it.

Short on time? Pick one group, watch its TV series, then its film(s).

What about the other series?

The franchise keeps growing: Love Live! Superstar!! (the group Liella!) has three TV seasons but no theatrical film yet, so it's not covered here. The spin-off Yohane the Parhelion also had a compilation film in Japanese theaters in 2024; since it's a retelling of that TV series rather than a new story, we don't cover it either. We'll add more as new films are announced.
