• "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is now available to stream on-demand.
• You can buy the movie for $20 from streaming retailers like Vudu and Amazon Prime Video.
• Starz will add the movie to its library within the next six months, but a date hasn't been confirmed.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home," the highest-grossing movie of 2021, is now available to watch on-demand; the film was originally scheduled to release digitally on March 22, but the release date was moved up one week to March 15.

Though the movie is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it won't be included on Disney Plus. Instead, it's currently only available to buy for $20 from streaming retailers like Amazon and Vudu. 

With stars like Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Benedict Cumberbatch, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ends a trilogy of films in the MCU that began with "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Spider-Man: Far From Home." The film also brings back characters from the earlier trilogy of "Spider-Man" movies starring Tobey Maguire, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" films series starring Andrew Garfield.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" recently surpassed "Avatar" as North America's third-highest grossing movie release, generating $760 million in the domestic box office. The film has grossed $1.8 billion globally, making it the sixth-highest earner in film history. The movie also received critical acclaim, and currently holds a "93% Certified Fresh" rating on review-aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. 

Where to watch 'Spider-Man No Way Home'

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" is now available to watch at home through most video-on-demand retail services. You can buy the movie from Vudu, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Google Play Store for $20.

A cheaper rental option will likely be available in the near future, but a release has not been confirmed. Rentals are typically available on the same day movies are released for purchase or about a month after. Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray versions of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will launch on April 12 for collectors who prefer a physical copy of the film.

Is 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' coming to Disney Plus or Netflix?

Sony's streaming contracts for films like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will keep it off Disney Plus and Netflix when it's released digitally — at least initially. 

Instead, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is set to make its subscription video debut on Starz, the cable network and streaming service. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" is available on Starz right now too.

Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch recently said "Spider-Man: No Way Home" should be available on Starz within the next six months. You can subscribe directly to Starz for $9 a month; a current deal offers three months for $5 or six months for $20.

Sony completed a separate deal with Netflix for films released in 2022 and beyond, so it's possible that "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will end up on Netflix after the initial release window with Starz is over.
