Zendaya stars in Luca Guadagnino's new movie, and there are different options for where to watch played by Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor. Challengers is the second significant release of 2024 for Zendaya after she starred in Dune: Part Two. The timing of the two movies releasing less than two months apart gives one of Hollywood's brightest young stars a major opportunity to shine.

Expectations for and interest in watching Challengers has been incredibly high ever since the film was announced. The combination of it being a new Luca Guadagnino movie and a starring role for Zendaya, in addition to its romance storyline, made it one of 2024's most anticipated movies. Anticipation was well-placed based on Challengers' Rotten Tomatoes score, which broke a career-best high for Zendaya. Now, audiences have the option to pick and choose where to watch Challengers based on timing and availability.

WHERE TO WATCH

Writers
Justin Kuritzkes

The first opportunity to watch Challengers comes with its theatrical release. Amazon MGM backed the movie in early 2022 to make it possible, and the studio has given the film a wide theatrical release instead of releasing it directly on Prime Video. Challengers' theatrical release date of April 26, 2024, comes with IMAX showtimes. The movie was originally scheduled to release in theaters in the fall of 2023 before the SAG-AFTRA strikes delayed it until 2024.

When Will Challengers Release On Streaming?

Challengers Will Stream On Prime Video Or MGM+

It has yet to be confirmed when Challengers will release on streaming. As an Amazon MGM release, it is expected that the movie will stream on Prime Video when that time comes, unless it goes to MGM+ instead. Due to the possibility of it going to two different streaming services, determining Challengers' streaming release date is more complicated. Its streaming release could range from May to July 2024, depending on what path Amazon MGM elects to follow based on previous releases.

When Will Challengers Release On Digital?

The Movie Is Not Guaranteed For A PVOD Release

Those wanting to watch Challengers at home without the need of a streaming service subscription could have the opportunity to do so through its digital release. Amazon MGM does not always release its theatrically-released movies on PVOD services, though. When they do, it has happened within a few weeks of a film's theatrical debut to months after it moves to streaming. This makes pinpointing when audiences can buy or rent Challengers on digital more challenging, but a June or July release would make sense based on prior films.
