The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is streaming right now in the United States on Peacock, where it has been available since July 30, 2026. It is expected to move to Netflix later this year under Universal’s output deal, and trade reports point to a US arrival on Monday, November 30, 2026, though Netflix has not officially confirmed that date.
Here is the short version for anyone who just wants to press play tonight, followed by everything you need to know about the move to Netflix and why this movie keeps hopping between two services.
Where to watch it right now
As of today, Peacock is the only place to stream The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in the US. There is no separate rental fee: the film is included with a Peacock subscription. Following Peacock’s price increase on August 18, 2026, the ad-supported Premium plan costs $12.99 a month ($129.99 a year) and the ad-free Premium Plus plan costs $19.99 a month ($199.99 a year).
If you already pay for Peacock through a bundle or a promotional rate, the movie is part of your plan at no extra cost. You do not need a Netflix account to watch it at the moment.
When it is heading to Netflix
The film is set to leave its Peacock exclusivity window and open on Netflix in the US, where it would stream as part of any standard Netflix plan. Coverage of the Universal–Netflix deal pegs that arrival at Monday, November 30, 2026, the Monday after Thanksgiving, timed to land the movie at the top of the holiday-season charts.
One important caveat: treat November 30 as reported rather than locked. The date comes from trade and streaming-tracker outlets, not from an official Netflix or Universal announcement, so it could still shift by a few days. What is firmly established is the destination, Netflix, and the rough timing, late 2026.
Why the movie bounces between Peacock and Netflix
The back-and-forth is a feature of Universal’s “Pay-1” licensing agreement, which routes the studio’s theatrical releases, including Illumination’s animated films, through a fixed sequence of streaming homes:
- Peacock first — roughly four months of exclusivity, starting July 30, 2026.
- Netflix next — about ten months, expected to begin in late November 2026 and run into the fall of 2027.
- Peacock again — a final window after the Netflix run, stretching into early 2028.
The first Super Mario Bros. movie followed the same route, which is why many viewers assumed the sequel would reach Netflix in early December. The reported November 30 date simply nudges that estimate a little earlier.
The timing is not an accident. Landing on Netflix the Monday after Thanksgiving drops the movie into the busiest streaming stretch of the year, when families are home and looking for something everyone can watch. For a title that already cleared $1 billion in theaters, a holiday-window debut on the most-subscribed service in the US is a straightforward way to squeeze a second wave of viewership out of the release.
What The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is about
The sequel to the 2023 box-office hit sends Mario and Luigi off-world. Bowser Jr. kidnaps Rosalina, the cosmic guardian first introduced in the 2007 game Super Mario Galaxy, and tries to harness her powers to fuel a super-weapon. With Peach pulled into the fight, the brothers chase the villains across the galaxy to bring her home.
Chris Pratt returns as Mario and Charlie Day as Luigi, alongside Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. New to the cast are Brie Larson as Rosalina, revealed here to be Peach’s older sister, and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. The film crossed $1 billion worldwide after opening in US theaters in April 2026, making it one of the year’s biggest animated releases and a natural centerpiece for both Peacock and, soon, Netflix.
If you missed it in theaters, the short checklist is simple: it is on Peacock today, it is reportedly bound for Netflix on November 30, and either way you will not pay anything beyond your subscription to watch it.
