When will Mufasa: The Lion King be available to watch on Disney+?

As a seasoned gamer and Disney enthusiast who’s spent countless hours in the Pride Lands with Simba and friends, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and impatience about Mufasa: The Lion King. Having grown up with the original and the 2019 remake, this prequel promises to delve deeper into one of Disney’s most beloved characters.

“Mufasa: The Lion King” delves into the previously unheard-of tale of Mufasa’s transformation into the cherished ruler we knew from “The Lion King.”

Since it’s a Disney film, you might be curious if you can stream it on Disney+ at the moment. Regrettably, the prequel has been granted exclusive theater screenings, and as of now, Disney hasn’t announced when it will be available for streaming.

We understand that Mufasa will ultimately become available for streaming, and by examining Disney’s recent release patterns, we can make an educated guess as to when this might occur.

So here’s when to expect Mufasa: The Lion King to be released on Disney+.

When will Mufasa: The Lion King be available to watch on Disney+?

When will Mufasa: The Lion King be released on Disney+?

It hasn’t been officially announced when Disney will put out “Mufasa: The Lion King” on Disney+, and it seems we might have to be patient for quite some time.

2024 is when Disney plans to debut films like “Inside Out 2” and the pairing of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine”. Historically, these titles have followed a 100-day exclusive run in theaters before becoming available on Disney+. In simpler terms, they don’t show up on Disney+’s streaming service at least 100 days after their premiere in movie theaters.

If that’s true about “Mufasa: The Lion King”, then it probably won’t be available on Disney+ until as late as March 2025.

Disney often chooses to release movies on Wednesdays. In fact, considering the 100-day window has passed, it’s possible that the next release could be on Wednesday, April 2.

For the moment, our assumption is that the streaming premiere of Mufasa might occur earlier than expected. This seems to be the most probable timeline given the pattern of recent major Disney film releases.

On the day it gets released on Disney+, you can start streaming it as early as 8 am (UK time). In the United States, that translates to midnight Pacific Time or 3 am Eastern Time.

For now, you have the opportunity to stream both the original 1994 release and the 2019 reboot of “The Lion King” on Disney+. Additionally, you can also watch the two direct-to-video sequels, namely “The Lion King 1 1/2” and “The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride”. Enjoy your movie time!

As a fellow enthusiast, if you haven’t yet joined the Disney+ family, you can sign up starting from just £4.99 a month for the Standard plan with ads. For those who prefer an ad-free experience, we offer plans at £8.99 and £12.99 per month, or opt for annual subscriptions priced at £89.90 and £129.90 respectively.

It’s not confirmed when Disney will make the movie available digitally, but historically, Disney releases their films digitally about two months following their theater premiere.
