Where to Stream Saturday Night Online
Distributed by Sony Pictures, Saturday Night is expected to stream on Netflix when its current theatrical run is over. The movie studio made a deal with Netflix for the streaming rights for their films, so you’ll likely be able to stream Saturday Night on Netflix sometime in late December or early January 2025.
In the meantime, Saturday Night in 4K Ultra HD is available digitally to buy for $24.99 or to rent for $19.99 on Prime Video, Apple TV and other video-on-demand platforms. Tickets to see the film in theaters are still available at Fandango.com and elsewhere.

Directed by Jason Reitman, Saturday Night follows the chaos and fury behind the scenes between writers, cast and crew, performers and TV executives in the last 90 minutes leading up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live being broadcast live on Oct. 11, 1975.
