‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Comes to Digital, But When Will the ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Live Action Movie Be Streaming Free on Peacock?

Live-action remakes keep making lots of money, so Hollywood just keeps making them. One of the latest in that trend is the How to Train Your Dragon 2025 movie, which is coming to digital platforms to buy and rent tomorrow.

Written and directed by Dean DeBlois—who also co-wrote and co-directed the original animated movie—this 2025 movie is, basically, a shot-for-shot remake of 2010’s How To Train Your Dragon. Mason Thames stars as protagonist Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, the son of a Viking who goes against his family’s dragon-hunting legacy when he befriends Toothless the friendly dragon. Also starring Nico Parker, Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur—and with Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick the Vast from the original—the 2025 How to Train Your Dragon movie is sure to bring back lots of memories for millennials and Gen Z.

The remake was a hit at the box office, earning over $530 million worldwide. Now, Universal hopes to make even more money with the premium video-on-demand release. But before you spend $30 to watch the new How to Train Your Dragon movie at home, you should know that we expect to see How to Train Your Dragon 2025 streaming on Peacock before the end of the year.

Where to stream the How to Train Your Dragon 2025 live action movie online:

Beginning on Tuesday, July 15, How to Train Your Dragon 2025 became available to buy and rent digitally on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to purchase the film, but on Amazon Prime, the film costs $29.99 to buy a digital copy, and costs $24.99 to rent. If you rent the film, you’ll have 48 hours to watch the movie after hitting “play.”

How to Train Your Dragon is not yet available to watch on a streaming service that’s subscription-based, but we do expect to see How to Train Your Dragon streaming on Peacock soon, because the film is a Universal/Dreamworks release.

Peacock currently offers two subscription types: Premium with ads and Premium Plus ad-free. Peacock Premium costs $7.99/month, while Premium Plus costs $13.99/month.

You can save a bit by subscribing to one of Peacock’s annual plans, which give you 12 months for the price of 10. These cost either $79.99 with ads or $139.99 without ads.

When will the 2025 How to Train Your Dragon live action movie be streaming on Peacock?

The How to Train Your Dragon 2025 movie streaming release date on Peacock has not yet been announced, but we know that How to Train Your Dragon 2025 will stream on Peacock in the not-too-distant future, because it is a Universal movie, and Peacock is the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal. All the new Universal theatrical movies end up streaming on Peacock, though the wait period has varied by title.

Another Universal animated release, Dog Man, was released on PVOD after two-and-a-half weeks in theaters, and began streaming on Peacock about 4 months after opening in theaters. If How to Train Your Dragon follows a similar release strategy, then you may see How to Train Your Dragon 2025 streaming on Peacock in mid-October 2025. That said, How to Train Your Dragon 2025 was in theaters longer than Dog Man, so it’s possible you may need to wait a little longer.

When is the How to Train Your Dragon 2025 streaming release date on Netflix?

The How to Train Your Dragon 2025 movie streaming release date on Netflix has not yet been announced, but it will likely stream on Netflix after four months after it streams on Peacock, as part of Universal’s deal with Netflix that sends Universal animated movies to Netflix for a limited period. If our prediction for the Peacock release of How to Train Your Dragon is correct, then you might see How to Train Your Dragon streaming on Netflix around February 2026.

This is all speculation. The Universal home releases have not been consistent. If you want to watch the How to Train Your Dragon 2025 movie right away, you can buy or rent the film online.
