Here’s when Avatar: Fire and Ash will be available to watch on Disney+

by

The new movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is now playing in theaters, bringing viewers back to the world of Pandora after three years. If you’d prefer to watch it at home, though, you’ll have to be patient – it will be a while before it’s available for home viewing.

As expected, James Cameron’s latest film is currently only available in theaters, and Disney hasn’t announced when Avatar: Fire and Ash will be available to stream on Disney+. However, it will eventually be added to the service alongside the first two Avatar movies, and we can estimate a likely release timeframe.

Let’s examine the release patterns of recent Disney films to predict when Avatar: Fire and Ash will be available to stream on Disney+ and to purchase or rent digitally.

When will Avatar: Fire and Ash be released on Disney+?

So, as of right now, there’s no official date for when Avatar: Fire and Ash will hit Disney+. But honestly, it looks like we’re going to be waiting a good while before we can finally stream it at home – prepare for a long wait!

Disney films typically become available on Disney+ about 100 days after they finish playing in theaters. Based on that timeline, the newest movie should be streaming around late March 2026, but it’s likely we’ll have to wait a bit longer.

James Cameron strongly believes in the value of seeing movies in theaters and generally prefers a significant wait between a film’s theatrical release and its availability on streaming services. For example, his film Avatar: The Way of Water was shown in cinemas from December 16, 2022, and didn’t become available on Disney+ until June 7, 2023 – a gap of almost six months.

Based on current schedules, we anticipate Avatar: Fire and Ash becoming available on Disney+ around early June 2026. Disney typically releases new films on Wednesdays, so the most likely dates are June 3rd or June 10th, 2026.

When will Avatar: Fire and Ash be released on digital platforms?

Before you can stream it, Avatar: Fire and Ash will be available to purchase or rent on digital platforms.

Disney films usually become available to buy or rent online about two months after they finish playing in theaters. But Avatar: The Way of Water was an exception, taking a full three months to appear on digital platforms.

Just like the previous film, you can expect to buy or rent Avatar: Fire and Ash on digital platforms around mid-to-late March 2026.
