Blue Lock and Haikyuu are two fantastic anime series that lovers of volleyball and soccer in general will enjoy. They are, nevertheless, quite different in many ways, including tone, setting, objective, connection, and message. These distinctions distinguish them and make them interesting in their own right. Despite the fact that the games are distinct, the protagonist's purpose appears to be comparable. Be the greatest by defeating your opponents!
Both of these are 2 of my fav sports anime and are polar opposites of one another in terms of how it explores its characters, however the storytelling of both is on par with one another and is really fun to binge

Yo, I'm surprised no one has recommended Haikyuu yet? In terms of intensity, these two are basically at par. There's tension, rivalry, and constant evolution, both in skills and perspective of their sport.
Both animes have school friendship and development of tactical skills in players
If you're looking for an anime like haikyuu but with black air force energy, battle royale theme and having the sole purpose of destroying your teammates rather than working together then here is blue lock
Both of the series are similar in terms of sports and in both series they are trying to get to the top.
While Blue Lock is a bit serious and strange,
Haikyuu is more chill and funny
Both are quite competitive.

I found out about this anime because of that one edit on Tiktok. The U20 match edit, yes. I believe you would like this if you liked Haikyuu. Similar to Haikyuu, each character is explored, their backstory is revealed, and you can watch how they develop over the course of the show. What makes it different from Haikyuu is that there can only be one victor, which makes it difficult for them to work together. In Haikyuu, the teams do their best to support one another so that nobody is left behind. While in Blue Lock, you have to learn to improve on your own,

Both haikyuu and blue lock are sports anime with teenage boys as the main characters.
Both protagonists have some extraordinary abilities setting them apart from other people in the same sport, while being weak in other areas required.
Both anime have a somewhat similar plot: the main character loses a match, but is selected into a place with strong players.
Both anime are popular shounen
