The ULTIMATE Inazuma Eleven collection
Anime
This interest stack is the complete watch guide to Inazuma Eleven.
The main series is split over 2 different timelines, the original timeline going from the series that aired between 2008 and 2014, and the alternate timeline featuring series that aired after 2016.
My recommendation would 100% to watch everything from the original timeline first, since it's all very coherent with each other, and to then move on to the alternate timeline (this interest stack is also structured in this way).
Every entry has their shortened name in brackets so that you know which season is being referred to in later entries. For example; OG SX = Original Series, Season X
This interest stack is structured as follows:
1. The main Inazuma Eleven timeline (OG S1 - GO S3)
2. The alternate Inazuma Eleven timeline (Reloaded - Orion)
3. Non-canon content that was still heavily marketed throughout the main series, can be fun to watch after watching most of the main series or whenever they are relevant.
4. Recap episodes, bloopers, ads and other short stuff, for those who want to go for the true completionist route
There are also in-season recap episodes; they can still be kinda fun since it features some extra scenes as these episodes are mostly structured as the characters talking about the past and not necessarily being regular edited down episodes. However since they are in essence still recap episodes, they are skippable.

The original Inazuma Eleven series, split over 3 seasons;
(OG S1) Football Frontier Tournament arc: Episode 1-26
(OG S2) Alius Academy arc: Episode 27 - 67
(OG S3) Football Frontier International arc: Episode 68 - 127
In-season recap episodes:
- Episode 66-67; some of the characters talk to each other about the most recent events, recapping OG S2
- Episode 126-127; these episodes features a match between all Raimon players. The match is used to sprinkle in a lot of flashback scenes from all OG seasons since this marks the end of the original series.
Possible to watch: Ogre Movie (recommended after episode 127)

(GO Movie) Canon Movie set during the Go Series, watch after episode 32 of Go
Note: while the rest of the GO S1 episodes don't really attempt to reference the events of the movie, the newly introduced characters from this movie will make multiple appearances throughout the Chrono Stone and Galaxy seasons, therefore making it canon.

From here on is where the alternate timeline Inazuma Eleven series start, all of the below entries aired after Go Galaxy, but take place chronologically after OG S1.
It is recommended to watch these after finishing the original timeline series; OG S1 - GO S3
(Reloaded) Direct sequel to OG S1 using the new Ares artstyle, highlighting what happened to the Raimon eleven between the original season and Ares
Note; even though this episode was released after Ares aired, it definitely should be watched before, since it fills in a lot of the gaps for both Ares, and the Outer Code mini episodes and takes place before both in the chronological order.
