With the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in November 2022, Ryan Coogler took audiences back to the closed-off and technologically-advanced African kingdom for an experience that was both exhilarating and incredibly cathartic. Released a little more than two years after the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman, the highly-anticipated sequel gave us a place to grieve the loss of one of Hollywood’s brightest stars while also looking towards the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A little less than three months after dominating the box office for weeks on end, one of the best Marvel movies in recent memory is heading to streaming, much to the delight of comic book movie fans around the world. Here is when and where you’ll be able to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever streaming.
When And Where You Will Be Able To Watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Streaming
Watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever online
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever gets its official streaming release on Wednesday, February 1, joining the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+.
New arrivals on the platform generally arrive at 12.01am PT / 3am ET/ 8am GMT around the globe, so we'd expect to a similar time frame for the second Black Panther film.
If you're not already subscribed to Disney+, you can opt for its $10.99/£7.99/CA$11.99/€8.99/AU$11.99 monthly rate. If you're in the US, that's paying for its Ad-Free plan. You can also opt into ads and pay for its cheaper $7.99 a month plan.
Alternatively, save as much as 16% by paying $109.99/£79.90/CA$119.99/€89.90/AU$119.99 for a year upfront.

Are There Other Ways To Watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever?
If you don’t want to wait until Black Panther: Wakanda Forever makes its streaming debut on Disney+ in early February, you can still catch 2022’s best superhero movie on the big screen, as it is still playing in theaters across the country, two months after its release. Obviously, there aren’t as many screenings as there were in November 2022, but your local AMC, Regal, Marcus, or Cinemark location will most likely still be playing it at least once a day for a few more weeks.
Check your local listings on Fandango.
A 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is all but guaranteed at this point, but Disney has yet to reveal exactly when we’ll see the movie on the 2023 home release schedule. But if we use recent Marvel movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder as references, we will most likely see the Black Panther sequel (plus all those bonus features) at some point in mid-to-late February. Expect to hear more in the coming weeks.
