After years of fan demand, Warner Bros. will soon release the Snyder Cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice's theatrical release, Zack Snyder's Justice League will finally become available for mass consumption, primarily via Warner Media's still relatively new HBO Max streaming service.
The release of Zack Snyder's Justice League represents the culmination of years of requesting, demanding, complaining, begging and everything in between from the Snyder faithful, egged on by the director himself. It's not hard to see why both Snyder and his fans wanted his cut to become a reality, as the Joss Whedon version differed starkly from what Snyder had envisioned, and failed to please many. It was also a box office disaster, lending further credence to the idea that Warner Bros. had backed the wrong horse.
Whether the Snyder Cut will live up to the massive expectations surrounding it remains to be seen, but each new reveal and trailer seems to be earning mostly positive notices so far. In anticipation of the Snyder Cut's streaming debut, here's what we know so far about its worldwide availability.
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League in the U.S.
While it's obviously not a revelation at this point, interested fans in the ol' U.S. of A will of course be able to stream the Snyder Cut of Justice League on HBO Max beginning March 18, 2021. The DC event movie/miniseries is set to possibly be HBO Max's biggest exclusive release ever, and Warner Media is surely banking on it drawing in tons of new subscribers, customers they hope will then stay to enjoy all the other movie and TV content on offer.
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League in Canada
Slightly complicating matters for the Snyder Cut of Justice League's online distribution strategy is the fact that HBO Max is currently only available in the U.S., although its first international offerings are scheduled to roll out this summer. In the meantime, HBO - and HBO Max - original content can be found on the Crave streaming service in Canada, including Zack Snyder's Justice League beginning on March 18. It's a bit steep cost-wise though, as Crave's base subscription costs $9.99, and its needed HBO add-on package is another $9.99 a month on top of the base price. To be fair, it's still not much more than the U.S. cost when exchange rates are factored in.
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League in the U.K.
Unfortunately for DC fans in the U.K., it's yet to be confirmed how exactly Zack Snyder's Justice League cut will be distributed there. HBO has a content deal for some of its cable programming with Sky Atlantic - and the Sky owned Now TV streaming service - but it remains to be seen if the Snyder Cut will fall under this agreement. It's conspicuous that no U.K. Snyder Cut announcement has been made as of yet, despite Warner Media doing so for multiple other countries and territories. That said, it's a big enough market that it's unlikely to take too long to get a deal hammered out, possibly even between this writing and March 18.
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League Elsewhere in Europe
While the U.K. doesn't quite have its ducks in a row when it comes to streaming the Snyder Cut yet, Warner Media has announced plans for a good portion of the rest of Europe. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, Montenegro and Croatia all have access to a local version of the standard HBO service, and that can be used to stream the Snyder Cut on March 18. However, that still does leave quite a few counties uned for in the current plans for Zack Snyder's Justice League, including big markets like and .
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League in Asia
The continent of Asia is another that doesn't quite have everything figured out as far as the Snyder Cut's distribution, but when so many countries are in play, that's somewhat to be expected. Two huge countries have so far not been included in Warner Media's announced plans, those being Japan and China. However, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Taiwan will all be able to stream the Snyder Cut on March 18, thanks to local HBO Go-branded streaming services. While HBO has an ongoing content deal with OSN in several middle eastern countries, so far, there's been so confirmation either way if an HBO Max exclusive like the Snyder Cut will also be included under that agreement. It's also unclear when fans in India will get to see the Snyder Cut.
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League in Africa
So far, the continent of Africa is a sizable question mark when it comes to Zack Snyder's Justice League. While HBO has content deals with OSN in parts of North Africa and Showmax in South Africa, it's yet to be confirmed either way if those agreements will apply to the Snyder Cut in particular. Africa has rabid DC fans like anywhere else though, so one assumes things will begin to come together in the next few weeks or months.
How to Watch Zack Snyder's Justice League in Latin America & The Caribbean
Latin America and the Caribbean are being discussed together here because they share the same Snyder Cut distribution outlook, both good news and bad news. The good news is, fans in Anguilla, Antigua, Argentina, Aruba, B.V.I., Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uruguay and Venezuela will be able to stream Zack Snyder's Justice League on their own newly launched version of HBO Max.

UPDATE: Since this article was written, Warner Bros. has provided some great news for impatient Snyder Cut fans. Zack Snyder's Justice League will now be available to rent online on March 18 in all of the above mentioned places. The following digital rental services are participating: Apple TV, Cinépolis Klic, Amazon Video, Google Play, iZZi, Clarovideo, Total Play, Megacable, and Axtel.
