Both of them have intense sport matches and an interesting development of the characters.
An unlikely duo trying to do their best in order to overcome their weaknesses and bring out the best in their teams. Both shows have a similar cast which share various humorous conversations. Either through hard work and practice or with talent, the characters are overcoming their obstacles one by one in order to achieve their dreams. That, of course, doesn't mean there aren't any bumps in the road. Haikyuu!! focuses more on the real aspects of sports, while Kuroko no Basket focuses on the suspenseful, which makes it seem over the top quite a few times.
Same plot style, story-telling style, characters interaction style.. The two just have same style, nearly in everything.
You should enjoy the other if you enjoy the one. except you are one easy bored person. Such same style can make you boring when you watching the second.
Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu has a similarity in two characters sharing a dream and competing to be the very best. They are both part of a team as well and goes up against powerful adversaries to prove their worth. There is decent humor coming from the character interactions and stylish plays each episode plays out. Do note though that Kuroko no Basket has more of over-the-topic antics with its gameplay. But nonetheless, I would recommend both series especially if you're a sports fan looking to see players strive to succeed and trying to make their dreams becoming a reality.
It has almost the same feeling. Well, Haikyuu' duo might be slightly more comical and has more "rivalry" relationship than Kagami&Kuroko.

The big showdown is here !!! Haikyuu do you stand a chance against the King Kuroko? Haikyuu I'll see how you do. Though premise wise, Kuroko is already more interesting! Haikyuu, A boy that has potential "working and working" to be good at volleyball. Compared to Kuroko, where he's already strong, but facing off stronger players - Generation of Miracles. If you like to know more on this topic, I recommend to watch Digibro's related video on youtube Haikyuu vs. Kuroko no Basket!

both sports anime made by Production I.G. revolving around hand based sports with small 5-6 man teams. similar atmosphere and focus for both is on bond between 2 highschool first year MC's where one supports the other to score with their impressive jumping ability.
Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu give a similar feeling of intensity during games, as sports anime, and have both comedy and drama. They also have a similar focus on friendship and competition between team members.

The first thing I thought of when I started watching this anime was Kuroko no Basket. In relation to Kuroko no Basket, two players with extraordinary talent need one another in order to reach their full potential. In Haikyuu!!, Kageyama and Hinata were enemies at first, but end up playing for the same team when they enter high school. Kageyama is only interested in being a setter and Hinata strongly prefers being a spiker. The two must learn to work together in order to form a perfect duo to be the team that can stay on the court the longest.

Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu!! are both sports-themed anime with a well developed, dynamic cast of main characters. The characters are portrayed with contrasting personalities which makes the show interesting as it is not overly fixated on merely the abilities of the strong players, but also how the players overcome their various challenges (regardless of height, personality, past grudges etc) to improve as a team. If you have watched either, it is highly likely that you'll enjoy the other as well.
both are sport anime and both have a lot of great characters. They both involve a sport duo (Kagami and Kuroko/ Hinata and Kageyama) who work together to get their team to the top.
Both have/are:
-Sports Anime
-a very good view of their sports
-not a OP main character
-Great Characters
-Very Close to the manga
Both made by Production I.G.
Both have two strong players join the same team.
Though both are different sports, they have the same atmosphere.
Both protagonists aim for victory and are highly motivated.

-Main characters on both shows are short c;
Both are sports anime and both offer an adrenaline rush while the main characters are pushing their hardest to get a win. Personally i feel Kurokos is a bit more toned down in comparison to Haikyuu but bother are excellent.
Both anime have characters who are hard working and passionate about sport. They also have one thing in common that stood out for me! Thats how each individual character is much more effective working in a team rather than facing challenges on their own. Art is quite similar in a way and If you enjoyed watching kuroko no basket, I guarantee you will love Haikyuu.

Both are sport anime. Both are the story of a team going throw competitons. They both have as main characters two guys that do not do well at the beginning. For me, both were addictive from the beginning to the end and i can´t wait for the respective sequels

-The art is awesome. :>
-Plus, it's intense. X>
Both are sports anime. Both have a protagonist, who can't play like everyone else and he is doing it just for the pure love for the sport itself. Both stuggles to find their way and are trying to be the best and to help their team as much as they can.

These two friends later find a mediocre high school team to face some old friends from middle school as enemies in high school, while carrying that team to victory. They both have a colorful cast, exciting matches, shounen aspects and godlike sport skills that surpasses professionals.
Both anime series are thrilling sports anime with two main chars that become a duo and in both series they rely on each other alot and form special attacks thanks to the help of the other. While in Kuroko No Basuke they play basketball and in Haikyuu!! they play Volleyball. Both of them feel extremely similar.

-While KnB finished with 3 seasons of 25 episodes each Haikyuu!!! is currently at its 2nd season which has 25 episodes, same as the first
-Both are from the same studio
Whats different? I think Haikyuu is way more realictic and has a bit more comedy while KnB is more on the flashy side with over the top dunks, etc.

Both anime are sports anime. They both have good character development and similar art style. The matches in both anime are intense and also give the watcher a sense of victory when the main characters win.
Although their plots focuse on different type of sport, they are both telling story about characters who - despite the circumstances - are proving that other people make a mistake underestimate them. In both anime are two main characters who are making together a really nice duo.
With each new episode you will find out more and more similarities. Enjoy!
Extremely similar sports shows. Kuroko is about Basketball and Haikyuu is about Volleyball. In both shows the main protagonists aim to be the very best at their sport.
They both have an unstoppable first year duo that can be compared to the best. They grow as a duo and become as strong as possible.
Haikyuu has more lighthearted comedy while Kuroko is more serious. Both have a good balance that make the shows entertaining.
Pretty much same plot, different sports. If you like one, you'll like the other.
These are sports shows and they have really similar story. Kuroko feels bit like there is supernatural element that makes it feel exaggerated and unrealistic where Haikyuu feels more probable (at least at this point, after first season).
Both of these shows have humor and they try to have emotional moments.

Both series are composed by a surprising duo that combines to become stronger and more efficient after training.
Also, the same goal (defeating other teams) is present and the characters look alike; they all have a special ability making them powerful in their own domain.
If you are looking at this recommendation, i do hope that you check out Haikyuu!!. Why? If you like sports anime, then this shouldn't disappoint you. Both anime feature a team who is aiming to be the best in their sports, but there is going to many rivals with common goals, so to be the best, they must be stronger than all of them. The characters will grow stronger as the plot follows.

It is obvious that it's two anime based on sport. Haikyuu is about volley-ball.
It's more based on true feelings that we can go through as a volleyball player, which I am and which i can definitely confirmed. I started haikyuu at first, and it gave me chills.. Really. When i ended the first season, i was so excited about the second one, that I had to calm down my restlessness. So I started KnB, and as in KnB, we go through a lot pain, struggle in every kind: about a situation, a relationship..

-Sports anime
-you can see relations between the characters of the two shows
-seriously though they're hilariously similar
-watch it
I watched Haikyuu right after finishing Kuroko's Basketball, and I noticed a lot of similarities.
An easily excitable ace and a seasoned support-role player team up. They clash at first but they soon become an unstoppable duo.
The advancement of the team into various competitions - from practice matches to regional tournaments. It all happens at the same pace.
The characters, plot progression, and humour all have close similarities. If you don't want to let go of Kuroko's Basketball yet, Haikyuu is a good one to shift on to. You will most likely enjoy one if you enjoyed the other.
Haikyuu and Kuroko's Basketball share a strong Production IG flavour, with stylish, energetic sports action sequences and tense interpersonal drama off the sports courts. Another thing they share is that they prefer to lean towards the gimmicky, fantastical side of the sports genre but pull it off without seeming cheap or stupid. If you like one, you're bound to find satisfaction in the other.
If you enjoy sports anime then you will love Haikyuu. While less over the top them Kuroko No Basket, it is more grounded and relatable as a series with rich characters.

They're both animes that concentrate on two characters that are parteners and work together to make their team stronger! One of the characters is little and fragile but still it's very stong, and the other is strong and has strong skills that make him a bit distant!

Both are highly entertaining sports anime, that have exiting matches and interesting characters. And both of the anime mostly revolve around two players and their connection on the field.
If you really liked Kuroko no basket, then you should watch Haikyuu!!
Both animes have two main characters who works amazingly good together, even though their didn't like each other at first, there's sport spirit and a colorful team who slowly becomes better and better at their sport.
The only big difference between these two animes is that they have more humor in Haikyuu!! and play volleyball instead of basket.
They both have similar character types-light and shadow, both sports anime, both have HILARIOUS part, both informative and similar plot.
KNB and Haikyuu evolves around a first year duo who does not get along well in the beginning. However the duos make everyone shocked when they really get serious. The duo in Haikyuu strengthens one another as well as in KNB. They do not hold back when it comes to the amount of comedy mixed with things going down, getting serious, in both of the series. Some characters are even very similar (of course not copied and pasted).

Haikyuu deals about reaching for the top while forming unbreakable bonds with your teammates -- which is a very similar theme in Kuroko no Basuke (and other team sports anime out there). The protagonists are both small for the sports they have chosen but to compensate with their lack of height are extraordinary athletic skills that'll serve as their team's trump card in order to win.
Aside from the similarities in the genres it was categorized under, plot and protagonists' circumstances, Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basuke have the same animation studio, Production I.G. So you can expect great animated action scenes during a match. :)

The two mentioned anime are both of the sports genre,and have kind of a similar story line:
1:A 1st year protagonist duo.
2:The MC is basically the inferior one who rises with hard work,whereas the supporting character is a genius.
3:Both highlight importance of teamwork.
4:Centered around winning high school tournaments.
Though they both are two different sports, their way of adapting the MCs is quite similar! I would recommend people to watch KNB before watching Haikyuu the reason being you'll probably lose your shit after watching an amazing anime like haikyuu first and KNB later you'll probably hate watching KNB even though they have their own good points!

After finishing the whole haikyuu series and getting no announcement for season-5's release, I got desperate and decided to search for a similar sports anime series to binge and well, honestly I wasn't dissappointed, NOT even one bit.
Most new-gen anime watchers know about Haikyuu but not Kuroko no Basuke. Kuroko is a classic basketball anime (not as classic as slam dunk ofc) but consists of a great storyline/plot with similar inspiring characters. Kuroko no Basuke has more character depth as compared to Haikyuu, and also more quantity of quality characters as well. In Contrast, Haikyuu has better character development, while kuroko no basket focuses on developing the main plot rather than development as compared to Haikyuu. Must watch yet again.
Same studios, same art design. Both are sports and have also kind of the same animation you will enjoy both of their stories and have fun.

Haikyuu give me feel emotion happy , sad and proud
Kuroko give me feel Hype every game and good animation
both of this anime is sports related and the struggle faced by the protagonist due to the naturally gifted people. both of this anime teaches us to never give up on things we love and to keep thriving no matter the weather and to never compare ourselves to others cause we can accomplice a lot of things if we never give up. .
Underdog Protagonists: Both series feature protagonists who start off as underdogs and work hard to improve their skills and lead their teams to success. Teamwork and Friendship: Both anime emphasize the importance of teamwork, friendship, and camaraderie among team members.
The main characters each have a homoerotic relationship with the deuteragonist, with whom they form a sports duo and take their high school team to nationals. Sun and shadow making each other better is the major theme of both relationships.
Big differences? 1) the sport, obviously. 2) while most of Hinata's skills were absolute garbage at the start as opposed to a jerkwad genius setter, Kuroko is a virtually unknown prodigy at one skill as opposed to a jerkwad giant of a scorer.
