Watch Moana 2: Streaming Availability Guide

Nearly a decade after the beloved original Moana hit the big screens with Dwayne Johnson and Auliʻi Cravalho, fans are excited about the release of its sequel in US cinemas.

The movie has already made quite a splash, raking in an impressive $57.5 million on its opening day from 4,200 locations. According to Variety, it’s on track to reach a whopping $175 million in the first five days, possibly breaking the record set by Frozen 2 ($125 million) for a Thanksgiving weekend.

In Moana 2, we follow the fearless heroine (Cravalho) as she gathers an unlikely group to set sail on a thrilling adventure across the vast seas of Oceania, spurred by a mysterious call from her ancestors.

But when will you be able to catch Moana 2 on Disney Plus? For now, the film is having an exclusive run in theaters, meaning it’s only available on the big screen. It premiered in the US on November 27, 2024, and will hit UK cinemas on November 29.

If you prefer watching movies from the comfort of your home, fear not! Since it’s a Disney film, Moana 2 will eventually make its way to Disney Plus after its theatrical run ends.

As for the exact streaming date on Disney Plus, Disney hasn’t given an official confirmation yet. Based on past releases, Disney typically allows a 100-day exclusive theatrical window before bringing films to the streaming platform. So, our best guess puts the streaming debut of Moana 2 on Disney Plus sometime around March 2025.

If you can’t wait for Disney Plus, the film is also expected to be available for digital purchase or rental around two months after its cinema premiere, likely by late January 2025.

So mark your calendars for the cinematic release of Moana 2 on November 27 in the US and November 29 in the UK. And stay tuned for its streaming debut on Disney Plus and digital platforms in the coming months.
