The commonest answer is probably that the Middle Ages began with the end of Classical Antiquity.

Really, what lies between depends on viewpoint. The dates of these things are not fixed, and even the meanings of the terms vary according to who is using them.

Perhaps the commonest view is that Classical Antiquity ended in 476 and the Middle Ages began the same year.

Some historians have a different viewpoint (regarded as old fashioned by some) that Classical Antiquity ended in 476, the Middle Ages began in 1066, and the time between was the Dark Ages.

Others regard the date 476 as invalid, pointing out that most people in the West Roman Empire were unaware of any change that year. Similar things could be said about the dates of the beginning and end of the Middle Ages. So some historians date the fall of the West Roman Empire and beginning of the Middle Ages as "5th century," without providing any more precise date.
