When Does ‘GOAT’ Release on Netflix for Streaming?

Sony Pictures Animation is back with a slam dunk! GOAT, the new sports comedy produced by NBA star Stephen Curry, is hitting theaters this Presidents’ weekend before making its way to Netflix. The film follows the story of Hapi, a basketball prodigy goat, as he navigates the world of underground streetball to become the Greatest of All Time.

Directed by Tyree Dillihay and featuring a star-studded voice cast including actors from “Stranger Things”, GOAT promises to blend 2D and 3D animation styles in an exciting way. While Sony Pictures Animation has previously released films exclusively on Netflix, GOAT is set for a full theatrical run before heading to the streaming platform.

For fans in the United States, GOAT is expected to hit Netflix in the summer of 2026, approximately 120 days after its initial release in cinemas. This means you can mark your calendars for a probable Netflix debut around mid-June. If you’re in India, you’re likely to see the film around the same time as US viewers. But for our friends in the UK and Canada, the wait may be a bit longer, with Sony titles typically premiering on other platforms before landing on Netflix.

So, are you getting your popcorn ready for a trip to the theater to catch GOAT, or will you be saving the film for a cozy night in with Netflix? Watch out for this entertaining sports comedy coming soon to a screen near you!
