Disney’s live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch is finally making its way to home streaming, and fans won’t have to wait much longer to experience the heartwarming Hawaiian adventure from the comfort of their couch.
After its billion-dollar success at the global box office, the movie is preparing for its digital debut on Disney+, along with a physical release on DVD and Blu-ray. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the original 2002 classic or just discovering the charm of Stitch and Lilo’s bond, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming release.
When Will Lilo & Stitch Be Available on Disney+?
Disney has officially confirmed that Lilo & Stitch will be available to stream on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, exclusively on Disney+. The streaming release comes just a few months after its successful theatrical premiere in May, where it quickly climbed the charts to become one of the year’s biggest hits.
How To Watch Lilo & Stitch on Disney+
To stream the movie on Disney+, viewers will need an active subscription. Disney+ offers two primary plans:
- Disney+ Basic (With Ads): $9.99 per month
- Disney+ Premium (No Ads): $15.99 per month
If you don’t have Disney+, the film will also be available for digital purchase or rental on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
What Is the Live-Action Lilo & Stitch About?
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the live-action remake reimagines the beloved animated story of Stitch, a chaotic alien fugitive who crash-lands on Earth while fleeing prison. Disguised as a dog, he ends up being adopted by Lilo, a lonely young Hawaiian girl.
Together, they form an unexpected but powerful bond, grounded in the film’s iconic theme of “ohana” — meaning family, and that no one gets left behind. While some fans and critics have pointed out that the new adaptation lacks some of the zany brilliance of the original, it still captures the emotional core that made the first film a classic.
In fact, USA Today reports that the film has already grossed over $1 billion globally, marking another massive success for Disney’s growing line of live-action remakes.
When Will the Movie Be Released on DVD and Blu-ray?
For collectors and physical media fans, Lilo & Stitch will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD starting Tuesday, August 26. This gives fans a chance to own the film just before its digital streaming release.
A Sequel Is Already in the Works
Following the film’s box office triumph, Disney confirmed in June that a sequel is officially in development. While details remain under wraps, early rumors suggest that the follow-up will explore Stitch’s evolving role on Earth and Lilo’s journey as she grows older.
