The third season of the My Hero Academia anime television series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki, with Yōsuke Kuroda handling series composition, Yoshihiko Umakoshi providing character designs and Yuki Hayashi composed the music. Like the rest of the series, it adapts Kōhei Horikoshi's original manga series of the same name from the rest of the 8th volume through the beginning of the 14th volume over 25 episodes. It covers the "Forest Training Camp" (chapters 70–83), "Hideout Raid" (chapters 84–97), "Provisional Hero License Exam" (chapters 98–121), and the beginning of "Shie Hassaikai" arc (chapters 122–124). The season aired from April 7 to September 29, 2018, on ytv and NTV in Japan.

The season follows Izuku Midoriya and his classmates from U.A. High, a prestigious high school for heroes in training. The students facing their struggles and challenges as they fight for their survival during a training camp and a quest to save one of their classmates. The second half of the season focuses on the students' preparation for the Provisional Hero License Exam, a test that allows the students to obtain a Hero License and take part of their Hero-Work Studies as full-fledged Heroes.

Toho released the season on DVD and Blu-ray in eight compilations, each containing two to four episodes, between July 18, 2018, and February 13, 2019. Funimation licensed the season for an English-language release in North America and released it in two compilations on May 7 and September 3, 2019. FunimationNow is streaming the season in Simuldub, while Crunchyroll and Hulu are simulcasting outside of Asia as it airs. Funimation's adaptation ran from March 3 to August 18, 2019, on Adult Swim's Toonami block.

Four pieces of theme music are used for this season: two opening themes and two ending themes. For the first thirteen episodes, the opening theme is "Odd Future" by Uverworld and the first ending theme is "Update" (アップデート) by miwa. For the rest of the season, the second opening theme is "Make my story" by Lenny code fiction and the ending theme is "Long Hope Philia" (ロングホープ・フィリア) by Masaki Suda.

The two students quickly get into an argument, with Inasa revealing that the reason he hates Todoroki is due to a past experience with Todoroki's father, Endeavor. Unbeknownst to both of them, the fire that was diverted was close to hitting a downed Shindo before Izuku intervenes with Full Cowling, and yells at both the students. This snaps Todoroki out of it, as he tries to attack Gang Orca again; only for Inasa to again divert the fire.

All Might vows to his enemy that Shigaraki will not kill him or Izuku. At night, Bakugo has Izuku meet him in the place where they had their mock match.

Twice observes the changes in society after All Might's retirement, noting how the combination of All Might's absence and public unease of Endeavor taking his place has caused a surge in villain activity. He also reflects how irresponsible use of his quirk caused him to be eternally uncertain if he is real or a copy of himself, and that the League of Villains is the only place that would accept a damaged person like him. He then witnesses a villain named Overhaul kill another group of villains. Meanwhile, U.A. holds its opening ceremony, where the Principal announces that the first year students will begin the Hero Work-Studies earlier than usual due to the rising villain threat. Izuku returns to class after he serves his house arrest, where Aizawa introduces The Big Three, the top three students of U.A., who will be helping Class 1-A with their hero work studies.

Izuku and his classmates have a battle test with Mirio Togata to prepare for next step to be Real Pro Heroes. The battle begins when Class 1-A's close combat team tries to surround Mirio, but everyone is taken by surprise when Mirio's clothes suddenly fall off his body. Izuku tries to exploit the openings in his opponent's defense but his kicks go clean through Mirio's physical form. The other students launch an ambush and Mirio swiftly appears behind everyone. Mirio effortlessly knocks out every student of Class 1-A, even Izuku, where Mirio uses his super move called Blinder Touch Eyeball Crush to defeat him. Afterwards, Mirio apologizes to everyone about being naked and asks the class if they have a better idea about work studies. The class thinks that his Quirk is too strong and ask to learn the nature of it. Mirio revealed that his Quirk is called Permeation, which allows his physical form to go through anything if he activates it throughout his entire body. Before Aizawa instructs his class to thank The Big Three and depart, Class 1-A applauds Mirio's speech about his Quirk and they realize what the work study could do for their skills. Meanwhile, Bubble Girl reports to Sir Nighteye that Overhaul has made contact with the League of Villains, when Twice brings him to an interview location with the other members of the league.
