Can I skip Fate Stay Night?

Fate Stay Night is the first series of Fate Franchises, which was released in the year of 2006. Fate Stay Night follows the Saber's route, on the other hand, Fate Stay Night Ultimate Bladeworks follows the Rin's route.

I am also keeping the fact in my head that they both cover the same story but different Routes which brings some major changes in both series. Therefore I won't recommend you skip this.

Are all Fate series connected?

Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Stay Night Ulitmate Bladeworks, Fate/Zero, and Fate/Stay Haven's Feel are connected with each other. Fate/Apocrypha is set in a completely different timeline.

The rest of the series are just spin-offs. So we can not say that all the fate series are completely connected but some of them are connected indeed.

Where to watch Fate Series?

Fate Series is available on NetFlix, Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Funimation. Some of the fate series are also available on Amazon Prime Video.
