Zootopia 2 opened to a record-setting weekend for animated features, hauling in approximately $556.4 million worldwide. The sequel to 2016’s buddy-cop favorite Zootopia delivers clever humor, kinetic action, and a thoughtful central message wrapped in layers of visual detail that reward repeat viewings. If you’re wondering when you’ll be able to stream or buy the film to watch at home, read on — below we outline the most likely windows for digital purchase, physical release, and streaming on Disney+.
When will Zootopia 2 be available to rent or purchase digitally?
Disney commonly spaces theatrical and home-video rollouts by roughly eight weeks. For example, Tron: Ares premiered in theaters on Oct. 10 and reached digital storefronts on Dec. 2, while The Fantastic Four: First Steps debuted in theaters July 25 and arrived on VOD on Sept. 23. Based on that cadence, Zootopia 2 is likely to become available to rent or purchase digitally in late January.
When will Zootopia 2 be available on Blu-ray/DVD?
Physical releases typically follow the digital debut by three to four weeks when Disney schedules discs. For context, The Fantastic Four: First Steps received its disc release on Oct. 14, and Tron: Ares was slated for 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on Jan. 6, 2025. Expect a special-edition Blu-ray and DVD for Zootopia 2 — likely with bonus features — to arrive sometime in February.
When will Zootopia 2 be available to stream on Disney Plus?
Recent Disney tentpoles have appeared on Disney+ a little over three months after their theatrical runs. For instance, The Fantastic Four: First Steps hit Disney+ on Nov. 5 — a bit more than three months after opening July 25 — and Thunderbolts* arrived on Aug. 27 following its early-May release. By the same timetable, Zootopia 2 will probably debut on Disney+ around late February or in the first days of March.
