Creed 3has only been out in theaters for one week (at the time of writing), but it’s already gearing up to punch its way onto Prime Video.
Per anAmazonpress release, the third film in theCreedfranchise will debut onPrime Videoon April 7. That means the Michael B Jordan-starring threequel will be available to watch on one of the world’sbest streaming servicesjust one month after it delivered a knockout blow at the box office.Creed 3took over $100 million globally during its opening weekend, making it the biggest sports movie opening in motion picture history.
Unfortunately for Prime Video subscribers, though,Creed 3won’t be free to watch when it enters the streaming platform ring. In the same press release, Amazon confirmedCreed 3will only be available as part of Prime Video’s back catalog to rent or buy. If you’re looking to watch the film for free via Prime Video’s subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service, you’ll have to wait a bit longer, as a confirmed streaming date hasn’t been revealed yet.

IfCreed 3continues to hook in ticket sales worldwide, it could be a few months before it’s freely available to stream on Prime Video. Should that prove to be the case, you’re better off heading to your local cinema to watch it on the big screen.
You’ll want to do that, too, in our view. In ourCreed 3review, we said it “delivers a one-two punch of style and substance to largely break free of the Rocky series' commanding presence, adding “the spiky, three-dimensional dynamic between Adonis Creed and Damian Anderson drives the movie forward in novel ways, while its action is intriguingly anime-esque in its approach.”
We’ve reached out to Amazon to find out whenCreed 3will be free to stream on Prime Video, and we’ll report back once we receive a response.

Luckily, all eight ofCreed 3’s predecessors – sixRockyfilms, plusCreed 1andCreed 2– are streamable on Prime Video right now. That’s because Amazon Studios bought MGM, the studio that originally released some of theRockyfilms, for $8.5 billion in March 2022.
