Ben 10 Watch Order in the correct order

How to watch the Ben 10 series in order

Last updated: August 5 2026

Ben 10 has multiple animated series, movies, and a later reboot, which can make the franchise confusing for first-time viewers. A watch order guide helps you separate the original continuity from the reboot and enjoy the hero's growth in the intended sequence.

Since its debut in 2005, Ben 10 has become one of Cartoon Network's biggest action franchises. The series follows Ben Tennyson, a kid who gains the ability to transform into different aliens, but the franchise quickly grew into several sequels, TV movies, and a full reboot. That means the best entry point depends on whether you want the classic continuity or a standalone modern reset.

🕐 Release Order

Release order is the easiest route because it introduces the original continuity step by step before the reboot starts fresh years later.

  1. Ben 10 Season 1 (2005)
  2. Ben 10 Season 2 (2006)
  3. Ben 10 Season 3 (2007)
  4. Ben 10 Season 4 (2008)
  5. Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix (2007)
  6. Ben 10: Race Against Time (2007)
  7. Ben 10: Alien Force Season 1 (2008)
  8. Ben 10: Alien Force Season 2 (2009)
  9. Ben 10: Alien Force Season 3 (2010)
  10. Ben 10: Ultimate Alien Season 1 (2010)
  11. Ben 10: Ultimate Alien Season 2 (2011)
  12. Ben 10: Omniverse Season 1 (2012)
  13. Ben 10: Omniverse Season 2 (2013)
  14. Ben 10: Omniverse Season 3 (2014)
  15. Ben 10: Omniverse Season 4 (2014)
  16. Ben 10 Reboot Season 1 (2016)
  17. Ben 10 Reboot Season 2 (2017)
  18. Ben 10 Reboot Season 3 (2018)
  19. Ben 10 Reboot Season 4 (2019)
  20. Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie (2020)
  21. Ben 10 Reboot Season 5 (2021)

Chronological viewing mainly means keeping the original continuity together first, then treating the reboot as its own separate branch of the franchise.

Which Order Should You Choose?

If you're watching Ben 10 for the first time, start with release order and stay with the original continuity until Omniverse ends. That gives you the fullest version of Ben's growth and the richest supporting cast. The reboot is best treated as bonus material afterward rather than part of the same narrative line.
