Watch Here: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Online

Team Sonic returns for another adventure as they face Shadow the Hedgehog. The third installment of Paramount's live-action Sonic the Hedgehog series picks up right where Sonic the Hedgehog 2 left off, with Shadow (Keanu Reeves) stepping into the spotlight as a major threat to Sonic (Ben Schwartz), Knuckles (Idris Elba), and Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey). Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik and Gerald Robotnik (both played by Jim Carrey) have a master plan in motion.

While the Knuckles spin off show on Paramount+ hinted at Sonic 3, the first two movies enjoyed exclusive theatrical releases, and this trend continues with Sonic the Hedgehog 3. After its run in theaters, viewers will have the option to stream the movie at home. For now, here's what we know about when and where you can watch it.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Release Date

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hit theaters just in time for Christmas 2024. It premiered in the United States on December 20 and in the United Kingdom on December 21. The streaming release date is yet to be announced, but it's expected in early 2025. Stay tuned for updates!

When Will Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Release on Streaming?

Paramount has not yet confirmed when Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be available for streaming. However, it's known that the movie will eventually stream on Paramount+. Based on the studio's consistent track record, we can estimate the release date. Paramount typically waits around 50 days after a theatrical release before streaming begins. If this pattern continues, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 could start streaming on Paramount+ in February 2025.

When Will Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Release on Digital?

Before Sonic 3 is available on Paramount+, it will have a digital release, allowing fans to buy or rent the movie through major PVOD services. Paramount usually releases films digitally around 32 days after their theatrical debut. This suggests Sonic the Hedgehog 3 could see a digital release in January 2025.

However, it's worth noting that Paramount delayed the digital release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, making it available for digital purchase and streaming simultaneously. Given the expected success of Sonic 3 in theaters, a similar delay for the digital release might occur.

Where to Watch Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will only be available in theaters when it premieres in the U.S. on Friday, December 20. To find a nearby showing, you can check Fandango. As of now, the movie is not available online or on streaming platforms.

Is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Streaming on Disney+?

Is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Streaming on Paramount+?

The streaming date for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Paramount+ has not been announced yet. For now, the movie is only available in theaters.
