During your move, you can pass through the space of an ally, a creature that has the Incapacitated condition (see the rules glossary), a Tiny creature, or a creature that is two sizes larger or smaller than you.
Another creature’s space is Difficult Terrain for you unless that creature is Tiny or your ally.
You can’t willingly end a move in a space occupied by another creature. If you somehow end a turn in a space with another creature, you have the Prone condition (see the rules glossary) unless you are Tiny or are of a larger size than the other creature.

Sorry: no, I meant that the rules define an opening sized for a creature one size smaller than you is difficult terrain, but there’s nothing about openings sized for creatures more than one size smaller. So, a Huge creature would treat a 10 ft opening as Difficult Terrain, but there’s nothing to say what happens if they try to pass through a 5 ft opening. That seems to be left to the DM’s discretion.
To me if a space one size smaller than you is Difficult Terrain, then a space 2+ size smaller should be impassable.
For fighting, Creature Size describe a creature’s space as the area that it effectively controls in combat and needs to fight effectively. But without Squeeze rules like 2014, there's no penalties for doing it so to speak in the core rules outside perhaps Disadvantage i brought up earlier..

Thanks both.
I’d be very much inclined to rule the same for Openings (I might make specific exceptions, such as the giant constrictor snake).
Using Disadvantage is also worth considering as a house rule.

To me this is just another example of the rules saying what you can do, not detailing what you cannot do. So if the rules don't mention what happens when you try to pass through a tiny opening then you cannot do so with your medium sized creature.

While there's no more rules when Squeeze specifically, a DM can always decide that circumstances impose Disadvantage.
You mean this one?

Ups, ok, I see now. Thanks @ThelenyiWhinlaw!
For that example, I'd personally rule that Huge creature couldn't pass through a 5 ft opening.
