How to Train Your Dragon 2025 is available on Disney Plus starting in late 2025
How to Train Your Dragon 2025 will stream on Disney Plus, though the exact release date has not been announced yet. Disney owns the How to Train Your Dragon franchise through its acquisition of DreamWorks Animation, so new films in the series arrive on the platform rather than in theaters first or on competing services. You will need an active Disney Plus subscription to watch it.
The film is the fourth major installment in the How to Train Your Dragon series. Previous films in the franchise are already available on Disney Plus, so you can watch the earlier movies while you wait for the 2025 release. The new film will likely arrive on Disney Plus within a few months of any theatrical release, though Disney has not confirmed the exact timing.

Check your Disney Plus subscription status before the release
If you already have a Disney Plus account, log in to confirm your subscription is active. Go to your account settings and check the renewal date. If your subscription has expired, you will need to restart it before the film becomes available.
If you do not have Disney Plus yet, you can sign up on the Disney Plus website or through the Disney Plus app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. Disney Plus offers a monthly plan and an annual plan. The monthly plan renews automatically each month unless you cancel, and the annual plan renews once per year. Both options give you full access to all content on the platform, including How to Train Your Dragon 2025 once it releases.
Watch on any device that supports Disney Plus
Disney Plus works on most streaming devices, phones, tablets, and computers. You can watch on smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Vizio, and other manufacturers. The app is also available on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
On phones and tablets, read the Disney Plus app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. On a computer, go to disneyplus.com and log in with your account. The film will appear in the search results or in the DreamWorks section once it releases. You can watch in 4K on supported devices if your subscription plan includes that feature.
Create a profile for personalized recommendations
When you first set up Disney Plus, you can create multiple profiles under one account. Each profile has its own watch history and recommendations. If you have children, you can create a Kids profile that filters content to age-appropriate titles only.
To create a profile, go to your account settings and select "Add Profile." You can name it and choose an avatar. Once How to Train Your Dragon 2025 releases, it will appear in your watch list and recommendations based on your viewing history. You can also add it to a watchlist manually so you remember to watch it when it becomes available.
Set up notifications for the release date
Disney Plus does not send automatic notifications when a specific film releases, but you can check the Disney Plus app regularly or follow Disney's official social media accounts for announcements. Disney typically announces release dates for major films several weeks in advance.
You can also set a reminder on your phone's calendar for late 2025 to check Disney Plus for the film. Another option is to visit the How to Train Your Dragon page on Disney Plus—if it is already listed there, you may see a "Notify Me" button or a release date countdown. Bookmark that page so you can return to it easily.
Understand what comes with your subscription
A Disney Plus subscription gives you access to all films and shows on the platform, including How to Train Your Dragon 2025. You can stream on up to four devices at the same time, depending on your plan. You can read titles to watch offline on phones and tablets, which is useful if you want to watch the film without an internet connection.
Disney Plus also includes access to content from Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Pixar. If you want ESPN Plus or Hulu along with Disney Plus, Disney offers bundle plans that combine all three services at a lower total price than buying them separately. Check the Disney Plus website to see current pricing and plan options.
