Fans have been curious about the digital and streaming release date of The Smashing Machine. The film focuses on the professional and personal hardships of MMA fighter Mark Kerr. As the movie is released in the theatres today, many fans want to know about its online digital release date.
Here is everything you need to know about the post-theatrical release of the biographical sports drama.
When will The Smashing Machine get its digital release date?
The Smashing Machine might get its digital release date in November 2025.
As of now, the filmmakers have not yet announced the digital premiere of the film. However, we can estimate the release date based on the patterns of previous releases from the production company, A24. Typically, A24 movies have about a one-month gap between their theatrical and digital releases.
The Western comedy flick, Eddington, was released in theaters on July 18, 2025, and became available digitally on August 12, 2025. Similarly, the film Warfare was released in theaters on April 11, 2025, and streamed on digital platforms starting May 6, 2025. If The Smashing Machine follows a similar pattern, it might be available digitally by early November 2025.
However, there are chances it might be delayed if the film performs well at the box office. It has already opened to positive reviews, and if it becomes commercially successful, makers might delay the digital release to generate more profits from the theatres. Nevertheless, fans must wait for an official confirmation on anything.
When will The Smashing Machine begin streaming, and where?
The Smashing Machine will begin streaming on HBO Max sometime in the end of February or March of next year.
A24 movies usually take four to five months to come out on streaming platforms after a theatrical premiere. Warfare began streaming on HBO Max on September 12, 2025, following its theatrical release on April 11, 2025. On the other hand, Death of a Unicorn was out on July 25, 2025, after hitting the theatres on March 28, 2025. Taking these releases into consideration, The Smashing Machine is expected to start streaming around late February or mid-March 2026. Fans will be able to watch the film on HBO Max with a paid subscription, as the platform does not offer any free trials.
