Guadagnino knows what he’s doing when it comes to putting tennis on film. The matches are played at both breakneck speed and in agonizing slow-motion. Everything is sensual, including the sport itself. Needless to say, it deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

Is Challengers on streaming?

No, Challengers isn’t streaming, and won’t be for a few months at least — it’s on a theatrically-exclusive run for now.

If you were hoping to catch Challengers on streaming services, you’ll have to wait a few months. The best way to see it is in theaters, on the big screen. If it performs well at the box office, this is where it’ll stay well into the summer.

Once it lands on streaming, it’s likely that it’ll go to Max, as this is where the majority of Warner Bros. movies end up. That said, the movie is also produced by Amazon MGM Studios, so it could end up on Prime Video in the future, too. Most likely, it’ll be available to rent or buy on Prime Video in a few months, before landing on Max.
