Fans are buzzing to rewatch Spider-Man: No Way Home after the teaser for Brand New Day — but the movie isn’t sitting on Disney+ yet. No Way Home marks Tom Holland’s third standalone appearance as the friendly neighborhood hero, though the lineup isn’t strictly solo: Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprise their respective Spider-Man roles from earlier Sony installments.

The film dives into the multiverse when Peter Parker, with a little help from Doctor Strange, tries to erase the world’s knowledge of his identity. That plan, however, pulls other Spider-Men and a wave of villains into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, setting up a crossover that fans had long anticipated.

Why isn’t Spider-Man: No Way Home on Disney+?

The short answer is rights ownership. Sony handles the distribution rights for the Spider-Man franchise, even though the character is part of the MCU and appears in films produced by Marvel Studios and Disney. A prior arrangement between Sony and Disney/Marvel allowed Tom Holland to join the MCU, but Sony retained control over Peter Parker and his associated world. That ownership shape means Disney+ isn’t the home for the film.

Where can you stream Spider-Man: No Way Home?

As of March 2026, No Way Home is available to stream in the United States on Starz. You can watch it via the Starz app, or through the Starz channel on Apple TV and Roku devices.

In the United Kingdom, it isn’t included in any subscription library. It remains available to rent or buy on platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV+, and YouTube. The other two films in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy — Homecoming and Far From Home — share a similar availability pattern on major rental/buy platforms rather than as part of a subscription.

Disney+ users can still catch Spider-Man’s appearances within the MCU on Disney+: he shows up in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

What about the rest of the Spider-Verse?

For UK viewers who want the broader Spider-Man catalog, Netflix offers Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, as well as The Amazing Spider-Man films, giving fans another way to revisit the earliest big-screen Spider-Man adventures.

Brand New Day and beyond

With Brand New Day arriving in theaters this July, fans are hopeful for future crossovers and new chapter opportunities in the Spider-Man saga. Until then, much of Spider-Man’s presence outside Disney+ will rely on Sony’s distribution channels and the various rental/buy platforms around the world.
