The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants premiered in theaters on December 19, 2025, but fans are already eager to know when they can stream the movie at home. While it is still too early to confirm an exact digital or streaming release date, earlier releases from the studio may offer some insight into the likely timeline.

Here’s when fans can expect to see The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants on digital and streaming.

When could The SpongeBob Movie (2025) get its digital release date?

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, the fourth animated film in the franchise, does not yet have a confirmed digital release date. However, since Paramount Pictures is distributing the film, it is expected to follow a similar release pattern to other Paramount titles.

Typically, Paramount films arrive on digital platforms about 30 days after their theatrical debut. Based on that timeline, the movie could become available for rent or purchase by the third week of January or by the end of the month.

When is The SpongeBob Movie (2025)’s streaming release date?

The streaming release for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants will come significantly later. As it is distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film will premiere on Paramount+.

If it follows the same timeline as other releases from the platform, it should arrive around 90 days after the theatrical release. This means that the film could be available for streaming around the second or third week of March 2026.

Those who want to catch the film sooner than this still have the chance in theatres. The film premiered on December 19, 2025, in the United States and continues to run in most theatres.

The film has received positive reviews and has already grossed $60.2 million worldwide. It stars George Lopez, Ice Spice, Arturo Castro, Sherry Cola, Regina Hall, and Mark Hamill, besides the show’s regular cast.
