The Haikyū!! × V.League "The Volleyball" All Star Special Match was the second collaboration with Japan's V.League, this time the event being held over two days. Day one was the "warm-up event" and included interviews with V.League players, voice actors from the anime and some Q&A answers from Haruichi Furudate. Day two was the match itself, and much like the Special Match from 2020 was made up of two teams of players from several V.League Division 1 teams. However, rather than the Schweiden Adlers and MSBY Black Jackals, the teams were those depicted in the special one-shot A Party Reignited.
Several announcements were made at the event, including Haikyū!! FINAL,[3] the return of the stage plays[4] and an epilogue chapter for the A Party Reignited one-shot, to be published in the Haikyū!! 10th Chronicle anniversary book.[5]
