Finding exactly where to stream the Fast and Furious movies in early 2026 feels a lot like trying to navigate a Lykan HyperSport through a skyscraper—it’s chaotic, high-stakes, and one wrong move sends you off a cliff.
You’d think a multi-billion dollar franchise owned by Universal would just sit comfortably on Peacock. Nope. Not even close. Because of a tangled web of licensing deals signed years ago, the "Fast Family" is currently scattered across half a dozen different platforms. If you’re planning a weekend binge-watch, you’re basically going to need three different subscriptions and a very patient thumb for all that remote scrolling.
Honestly, the situation is kind of annoying for fans. One minute you’re watching Dom Toretto talk about family on Netflix, and the next, you’re jumping over to Max or Peacock just to see how the crew ended up in Brazil. Here is the actual, no-nonsense breakdown of where these movies are living as of January 2026.
The Streaming Split: Where the Fast and Furious Movies Are Hiding
As of right now, the most important thing to know is that there is no "one-stop-shop" for this franchise. Universal Pictures (the studio behind the movies) and Netflix recently inked a massive deal that will eventually bring these live-action blockbusters to Netflix's library. But there’s a catch: that deal really kicks into gear in 2027.
For 2026, we’re in a "bridge" year.

Peacock remains the primary hub for the newer entries, particularly Fast X and F9. Since Peacock is Universal's home turf, they try to keep the latest hits there to drive up those subscriber numbers. However, the older "classic" era—the street racing years—is constantly rotating.
The Original Trilogy and the "Middle" Years
Most people start their marathon with the 2001 original. Currently, The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift have a habit of bouncing between Tubi (with ads) and Netflix. Earlier this year, several titles left Netflix, but they often cycle back within a few months. If they aren't on your Netflix dashboard today, check Tubi or Freevee; these movies are the bread and butter of "FAST" (free ad-supported streaming) channels.
The Blockbuster Era (Fast 4 through Furious 7)
This is where it gets tricky.
- Fast & Furious (2009): Often found on Max (formerly HBO Max). It’s an odd outlier because of an old contract that keeps it away from Peacock for stretches of time.
- Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6: These are the crown jewels for many fans. Right now, they are primarily streaming on Peacock, though they occasionally pop up on DirectV Stream or Fubo for those with live TV packages.
- Furious 7: Since this was Paul Walker’s final film, it’s in high demand. It usually sits on Peacock, but don't be surprised if it migrates to Hulu for a "limited time engagement" mid-year.
Why You Can’t Find Every Movie on One App
It’s all about the money. Specifically, the "Pay-One" and "Pay-Two" windows. When a movie like Fast X comes out, it goes to theaters, then digital rental, then its "home" streaming service (Peacock). But after about 18 months, other streamers like Netflix or Max can bid to license those movies for a year or two.

Universal basically auctions off the older movies to the highest bidder to keep the revenue flowing. That’s why you’ll see the 2001 original on Netflix one month and gone the next. They aren't "lost"—they're just on a different lease.
Where to Stream the Fast and Furious Movies: The 2026 Checklist
If you’re looking for a specific movie right this second, here is the current landscape. Keep in mind that "Family" doesn't mean "Free," and some of these might require a premium tier.
- The Fast and the Furious (2001): Netflix / Tubi
- 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003): Netflix / Tubi
- The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006): Netflix / Peacock
- Fast & Furious (2004/2009): Max
- Fast Five (2011): Peacock
- Fast & Furious 6 (2013): Peacock
- Furious 7 (2015): Peacock / Max
- The Fate of the Furious (2017): Apple TV+ (select regions) / Rental
- Hobbs & Shaw (2019): Peacock
- F9: The Fast Saga (2021): Peacock
- Fast X (2023): Peacock
Note: Availability can shift on the first of every month. If a title shows as "unavailable," it’s likely in the middle of a platform transfer.
What About Fast 11?
The hype for Fast 11 (rumored to be the final main-line entry) is hitting a fever pitch. While the movie is targeting a late 2026 theatrical release, don't expect it to hit streaming until early 2027. When it does, it will follow the established path: a 120-day exclusive window on Peacock before eventually making its way to Netflix under the new multi-year agreement.

The "Rental" Workaround
Look, if you’re tired of chasing these movies across four different apps, there’s always the digital storefront. Places like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV (iTunes), and Google Play sell the "10-Movie Collection" for a price that’s usually cheaper than three months of multiple streaming subs.
If you own them, you don't have to care about licensing deals. Plus, you usually get the "Director's Cuts" or "Extended Versions" which aren't always the versions put on streaming services. For example, the Fast 9 Director's Cut adds quite a bit of context that the theatrical version (usually the one on Peacock) leaves out.
Actionable Steps for Your Rewatch
If you are ready to dive back into the world of NOS and gravity-defying stunts, here is how to do it without losing your mind:
- Check JustWatch or ScreenRant: These sites track daily changes in streaming libraries. Before you pay for a new sub, search the specific title there.
- Peacock is your "Home Base": If you only want to pay for one service, Peacock usually has the highest concentration of Fast content at any given time because they own the IP.
- Watch for the "Leaving Soon" tab: Netflix and Max are pretty good about giving a 30-day heads-up before they pull a movie. If you see Tokyo Drift is leaving Netflix on the 31st, make that your Friday night priority.
- Use a VPN for Global Libraries: If you’re traveling or use a VPN, you’ll notice that Netflix UK or Netflix Canada often has the entire franchise available while the US version is split up. This is due to different international distribution rights.
The franchise is bigger than ever, and while the streaming rights are a mess, the movies themselves remain the ultimate popcorn experience. Just make sure your subscription is active before you hit the starting line.
