An exposure method in which mask patterns are overlaid on one another on a substrate, which is an object to be exposed, by using a first and second exposure apparatuses having respective exposure fields of different sizes. The exposure method includes the steps of: sequentially transferring a first mask pattern onto the substrate in the form of a first array in units of a shot area of a predetermined size by using the first exposure apparatus; detecting at least either one of a perpendicularity error of the first array from a design value and a mean value of rotation angles of the shot areas in the first array when a second mask pattern is to be sequentially transferred onto the substrate in the form of a second array in units of a shot area different in size from the unit shot area of a predetermined size by using the second exposure apparatus; and rotating the second mask pattern and the substrate relative to each other through an angle corresponding to a result of the detection, and thereafter, sequentially transferring the second mask pattern onto the substrate.
