The third original art exhibition for Haruichi Furudate's volleyball manga Haikyu!! opens October 30, 2026, at Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo and runs through January 11, 2027. Oricon News toured the show at a press preview on October 29 and published an exhibition report.

The exhibition's Japanese title is 『古舘春一 ハイキュー!!展 挑戦者たち』, and its subtitle roughly means "The Challengers." The venue is on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. The show has 203 exhibits totaling 253 sheets. Twenty-four of the exhibits are newly drawn illustrations, including the key visual. The layout has a prologue and five zones that follow the story in order, from Hinata and Kageyama's first meeting to the separate paths they took after high school.

Zone 1 shows how Karasuno High School came together as a team. Zone 2 displays original art from the spring national tournament matches against Inarizaki, Nekoma, and Kamomedai. Zone 3 debuts 17 newly drawn illustrations of how the characters faced themselves and volleyball after the third-years graduated. According to Oricon, these show the characters in ways the main story never depicted.

Zone 4 follows Hinata from beach volleyball training in Brazil to Japan's domestic pro league, where the "Monster Generation" meets again on the same court. Zone 5 displays original art from the final chapter alongside a newly drawn key visual. The route ends with a volleyball marked "Karasuno High School" that was prepared for the exhibition. A message from Furudate to visitors is also on display.

Entry is by timed ticket, and tickets for the first period, through November 30, are sold out. The exhibition includes material that the anime has not yet adapted. Each visitor receives a random set of two "Player's Cards" with play scenes and 2018–19 season stats. There are eight sets and 16 designs in total.
