The spikers of Karasuno High are returning later this year to face off with one of their biggest challenges yet, Shiratorizawa Academy, for the third season of the anime adaptation of Haruichi Furudate’s popular sports manga, Haikyuu!!, which is fittingly titled “Haikyu!! Karasuno High vs Shiratorizawa Academy.”

The anime’s official website has finally been updated, and it now features a brand new visual:
