Watch in the Netflix app

Open Netflix on a supported smart TV, streaming player, phone or tablet and search for the exact movie title. Check the title page in your country for availability, age rating, audio and captions. Set a reminder if the movie has not arrived yet. We have not independently confirmed an exact release hour.

Netflix is a separate app rather than a numbered DIRECTV channel. Review your existing subscription and any eligible bundle before paying for another account. The DIRECTV and Netflix offer guide explains options to investigate; eligibility and current terms determine whether an offer applies to you.

Before movie night

Update the app, test your sign-in and check which profile will be used. Supported picture quality depends on the plan, movie and playback equipment. Check Netflix's own listing before changing a subscription, especially if you are traveling or using a profile with maturity restrictions.

For live TV alongside streaming apps, compare DIRECTV options or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884.
