UBW is just one of the 3 possible routes, meant to be the second part of the story.

Well, they both spoil stuff for each other, but Stay Night was the original release and Zero is the prequel, so that's arguably the official order.

And UBW is going to spoil a bunch of Zero stuff or some things not make sense without the context it provides, so...

UBW being an anime is still odd, it never was meant to be a standalone thing, so now we have this odd monster that is not the proper Stay Nigh story but it's not a Zero sequel either.

Also it is best to watch Zero first, cause like my last post it references back to Zero to much, because Ufotable literally made it a sequel to Fate Zero.

I think the official statement was that they tackled them as independent projects, neither should be seen as prequel or sequel.
