PSA: ‘Happy Gilmore’ Is Leaving Netflix On July 31 —Where to Watch ‘Happy Gilmore’

If you haven’t yet streamed Happy Gilmore movie on Netflix, you better hurry up, because the first Happy Gilmore is leaving Netflix after tomorrow, July 31.

That’s a shame, because there’s one thing you’ll take away from Happy Gilmore 2, it’s that you really want to rewatch the first movie. After all, a decent chunk of the sequel, released via Netflix last Friday, features clips from Adam Sandler’s original 1996 hit comedy.

For the first week of Happy Gilmore 2‘s release, Netflix has made that rewatch easy for you, by making the first movie available on the streamer. Subscribers took full advantage: The first Happy Gilmore movie has been hanging out on Netflix’s Top 10 Trending Movies list for most of this month, even before the sequel’s release. But seasoned Netflix users know that while Netflix giveth, Netflix also taketh away.

Every month, Netflix adds and removes titles from its library. August 2025 is no exception, and, unfortunately, Happy Gilmore (1996) is one of the titles leaving Netflix on August 1. That means your last day to watch Happy Gilmore on Netflix is Thursday, July 31.

You’ll still be able to watch Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix. The sequel is a Netflix-produced original that will be streaming on Netflix in perpetuity. But where can you watch the original Happy Gilmore on streaming after July 31?
