Where to Watch Superman: The Short Answer
HBO Max is the one service that carries every main Superman film in the US, the UK and Australia, according to JustWatch data published through TMDB and checked on November 3, 2026. Everything beyond that depends on the country and the film. Netflix has no Superman film in the US, yet it carries Superman Returns, Man of Steel (2013) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in the UK, and those three plus Justice League and Superman (2025) in Australia. Prime Video streams Superman (2025) in the US and Superman Returns in Australia.
The table shows which subscription services sit alongside HBO Max for each film, and the sections after it cover renting and buying.
| Film | US (also on) | UK (also on) | AU (also on) |
|---|
| Superman (1978) | YouTube TV | None | None |
| Superman II | YouTube TV | Now TV Cinema | None |
| Superman III | YouTube TV | Now TV Cinema | None |
| Superman IV: The Quest for Peace | None | Now TV Cinema | None |
| Superman Returns | None | Netflix, Now TV Cinema | Netflix, Prime Video |
| Man of Steel (2013) | YouTube TV | Netflix, Now TV Cinema | Netflix |
| Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | None | Netflix, Now TV Cinema | Netflix |
| Justice League | None | Sky Go, Now TV Cinema | Netflix |
| Superman (2025) | Prime Video | Sky Go, Now TV Cinema | Netflix |
| Supergirl (2026) | None | Sky Go, Now TV Cinema | None |
HBO Max also appears in the data as HBO Max Amazon Channel, which is the same catalog reached through an Amazon subscription. Streaming deals move, so confirm in the service's own app before you subscribe.
Where Can You Stream Superman in the US?
In the US, HBO Max is the home of the whole run, from Superman (1978) to Supergirl (2026). Superman (2025), directed by James Gunn, is the only film that also shows up on Prime Video as a flatrate stream, in both the standard and the ad supported tiers. YouTube TV carries Superman (1978), Superman II, Superman III and Man of Steel (2013).
If you would rather rent or buy, every film can be had from Amazon Video, Google Play Movies, YouTube and Fandango at Home, and every film except Superman II is also on Apple TV. Spectrum On Demand rents Superman (1978), Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Superman Returns and Justice League, and Plex rents every film except Superman (2025). If you only want one film, a rental saves you a subscription.
Is Superman on Netflix, Disney+ or Hulu?
Superman films are on Netflix in the UK and Australia but not in the US, and no Superman film lists Disney+ or Hulu in the JustWatch data for the US, UK or Australia as of November 3, 2026. HBO Max is the first place to look instead.
In the UK, Netflix has Superman Returns, Man of Steel (2013) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In Australia, Netflix has those three plus Justice League and Superman (2025).
Where to Watch Superman in the UK
UK viewers can stream every main Superman film on HBO Max, and Now TV Cinema carries all of them except Superman (1978). Sky Go adds Justice League, Superman (2025) and Supergirl (2026). Netflix has Superman Returns, Man of Steel (2013) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Renting and buying run through Apple TV, Rakuten TV, Amazon Video, Sky Store and YouTube. Two recent films are different: Superman (2025) is buy only on Apple TV, Rakuten TV, Amazon Video and Sky Store, with no rental listed, and Supergirl (2026) is buy only on Apple TV, Amazon Video and Sky Store. Both are included in the HBO Max subscription, so a purchase is optional.
Where to Watch Superman in Australia
In Australia, HBO Max streams every main Superman film and Netflix streams five of them: Superman Returns, Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League and Superman (2025). Superman Returns is the only title on Prime Video, in the standard and ad supported versions.
For rentals and purchases, the data lists Apple TV, Amazon Video, YouTube, Fetch TV and the JustWatch TV Store, with the exact mix varying by film. Superman (2025) can be rented from the JustWatch TV Store, Apple TV and Amazon Video, and bought from Apple TV and Amazon Video. Supergirl (2026) can be rented from the JustWatch TV Store, Apple TV, Amazon Video and Fetch TV, and bought from Apple TV, Amazon Video and Fetch TV.
Where to Watch Superman (1978), the Original Film
The original is Superman (1978), directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve, and it streams on HBO Max in the US, UK and Australia. In the US it is also on YouTube TV. Some listings call it Superman: The Movie, but TMDB lists it as Superman (1978), so search for the year if the app shows several results.
The Reeve sequels follow the same pattern. Superman II and Superman III, both directed by Richard Lester, stream on HBO Max everywhere and on Now TV Cinema in the UK. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, directed by Sidney J. Furie, is on HBO Max everywhere and on Now TV Cinema in the UK. For the sequence itself, see our guide to Superman movies in order.

Which Service Should You Pick?
HBO Max is the simplest single subscription for a full Superman marathon because it covers every main film in the US, UK and Australia. Starting from a service you already pay for is the other sensible route. A UK Netflix subscriber can already reach three films and an Australian Netflix subscriber five.
Check the Superman movies hub for the full list, then open the service that already has your first film. If you only want Superman (2025) in the US, Prime Video is the simplest route if you already subscribe.
