Is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Netflix?

It’s still pretty early in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes are ready to get things started with a bang in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Their six-episode miniseries, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is slated to premiere on March 19, 2021, on Disney Plus.

Fans are already asking whether The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is coming to Netflix. The streaming network has some Marvel shows, so it makes sense why fans are curious.

We’ve got the scoop right here.

Will The Falcon and The Winter Soldier be on Netflix?

As of this writing, we know that Disney Plus will be the only streaming service to have The Falcon and the Winter Soldier when it premieres on March 19.

The question is whether any other services will have access to the title in the future. Due to studio contracts made with everyone’s favorite streaming service, fans are already theorizing The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be on Netflix.

Even as studios have gone into overdrive reclaiming their movie and television properties, like The Office, Netflix has managed to remain in the fray. As it turns out, the streaming network will reclaim rights to Black Pantherand many other Marvel properties in 2026. This is thanks to the deal Disney struck with Netflix years ago. Many other studios are facing the same issue.

This means no matter how hard Disney Plus strives to regain full ownership of its Marvel Universe, they’re going to be inseparable from Netflix for a while. Does this mean The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is coming to Netflix? That question is a bit simpler to answer.

If you want to enjoy Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe early on, it’s probably time to invest in a Disney Plus subscription. Even with Netflix having a solid contract that will return many Marvel properties in 2026, the list of titles heading back does not include The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That’s because only films that hit Netflix between 2016 and 2019 fall under the contract.

In an awkward twist for the new streaming service on the block, Disney Plus will actually lose several of its titles to Netflix in the coming years. Since anything after 2019 isn’t covered in prior contracts, though, it looks like new Marvel titles are safe with Disney Plus. This means anyone hoping to watch The Falcon and the Winter Soldier or Wandavision on Netflix will be disappointed.

Disney has got some big intentions with their streaming service, and the idea that they’d send any further Marvel properties to competitors is crazy. Bucky and Sam will grace our television and phone screens soon enough, but don’t hold your breath waiting for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Netflix.
