Why release order works
Release order is the simplest way to watch and the best for a first time. You see the series change from street racing into a heist and action series as it did on release.
Tokyo Drift is the one film out of place in the story. It is the third film, but its final scene takes place after Fast & Furious 6, and Furious 7 connects back to it. Watching in release order still works, because the later films explain what you need.
Where Hobbs & Shaw fits
Hobbs & Shaw is a spin-off about Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. It comes between The Fate of the Furious and F9 in release order. Fast X ends on a cliffhanger and the next film has not come out yet.

Fast & Furious watch order questions
What order should I watch Fast & Furious in?
Release order is the easiest: The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7, The Fate of the Furious, Hobbs & Shaw, F9 and Fast X.
Where does Tokyo Drift fit in the timeline?
Its story happens after Fast & Furious 6. In release order it is the third film, and Furious 7 connects back to it. You can watch it where it falls and still follow everything.
Do I need to watch Tokyo Drift?
Yes, if you plan to watch the whole series. Han, who appears in it, becomes an important character in later films.
Do I have to watch Hobbs & Shaw?
It is a spin-off, so it is the easiest film to skip. It is worth seeing before F9 if you want the full story.
