Here's when 'Lilo & Stitch' is coming to Disney Plus

Stitch in Disney’s live-action "Lilo & Stitch" movie (2025).

"Snow White" might not have been the mega-hit that Disney probably wanted it to be, but "Lilo & Stitch" definitely was.

The live-action remake of the year saw the House of Mouse reimagining Chris Sanders' 2002 sci-fi comedy for a new generation, with "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" director Dean Fleischer Camp at the helm.

Once again, wayward alien Experiment 626 crash-lands in Hawaii, where he's mistaken for a lost dog and subsequently taken in by his soon-to-be bestie, six-year-old Lilo (Maia Kealoha), who dubs him "Stitch" and tries to teach him how to behave.

Reviews were a little mixed — it's currently sitting at 72% from critics but 92% from fans on Rotten Tomatoes — but "Lilo & Stitch" went on to become another $1 billion success for Disney at the box office.

If you missed it in theaters, or you're looking to revisit Experiment 626's new adventure all over again, "Lilo & Stitch" now has a streaming date: here's when you can watch it at home.

When is 'Lilo & Stitch coming to streaming?

"Lilo & Stitch" hit Premium Video-on-Demand storefronts like Prime Video, Apple and the Google Play Store, on July 22, 2025, after premiering in movie theaters back in May.

And on August 5, we learned when "Lilo & Stitch" would be available to stream on Disney Plus. The live-action "Lilo & Stitch" remake will start streaming on Disney Plus on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 (as reported by Variety).

As of our latest update, that means you've got just under a month to wait before you can stream "Lilo & Stitch" at home. It's also only a few days out from my initial guess at the "Lilo & Stitch" streaming date.

Based on the average wait (100 days) for new Disney movies to come to the streaming service, I assumed it'd arrive on or around August 27, 2025.

Looking back at some of the most recent Disney releases, we waited 97 days for "Mufasa: The Lion King" to arrive, while "Moana 2" viewers had to wait 109 days between the theatrical and Disney Plus release of the hit sequel.

Ultimately, though, the fact that we have a slightly longer wait isn't too much of a surprise, as "Lilo & Stitch" had such a successful theatrical run.
