When Is “Moana” Coming To Disney+?

June 28, 2026 Roger Palmer

This summer, Disney is releasing a live-action reimagining of the animated classic, “Moana”, in cinemas around the world.

The film follows Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) as she answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.

The film is directed by Emmy and Tony Award winner Thomas Kail (“Hamilton”); produced by Dwayne Johnson, Beau Flynn, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Lin-Manuel Miranda; and executive produced by Scott Sheldon, Charles Newirth, Kail and Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the animated films “Moana” and “Moana 2.”

“Moana” features the new song “Along The Way,” written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and performed by Cravalho, Laga‘aia and Johnson; original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foaʻi and Mark Mancina; and an original score composed by Mancina.

When Is “Moana” Released?

“Moana” is being released exclusively in cinemas on July 10th 2026.

When Will “Moana” Be On Disney+?

Currently, no official Disney+ release date has yet been announced.

Generally, Disney keeps its biggest movies in cinemas for at least three months, usually getting a digital release for purchase on platforms like Amazon and Apple within 60 days, and dropping onto Disney+ around 100 days after its initial theatrical release. However, Disney does sometimes delay a streaming release if it’s doing very well at the box office.

Based on the latest Disney theatrical releases, I’d expect to see “Moana” drop on Disney+ in mid- to late October, just in time for a big boost in viewership for the holiday season.
