Where is Conclave streaming now?
As of an Oct. 3, 2026 check, U.S. subscription streaming is through Starz, specifically the Starz Amazon Channel and Starz Apple TV channel. JustWatch reports that it is not included with a Prime or Peacock subscription at that point, so viewers need the Starz add-on.
Starz's own schedule confirms the licensing window with an HD airing listed for 1:40 p.m. EST on June 15, 2026. That placement means linear-channel subscribers may also catch scheduled showings. Check the Starz app or channel listing for repeat times.
Why did it leave Peacock?
As a Focus Features and Universal title, Conclave made its subscription-streaming debut exclusively on Peacock on Dec. 13, 2024, and Collider's release-date report says viewing required a paid Peacock Premium subscription. Peacock described it as Berger's acclaimed papal thriller and noted its Golden Globe win for Best Screenplay.
That exclusivity ended when Conclave began streaming on Prime Video on April 22, 2025, according to TheWrap's streaming guide. Subscription films often rotate among services after an initial window. The current Starz period follows that pattern.
Where can you rent or buy it?
Digital rental starts at $3.99 in HD or 4K from Apple TV Store, Amazon Video, YouTube, and Google Play Movies, according to Moviefone's listing. Choose HD to save money or 4K when your screen and connection support it.
The same retailers sell the film as a digital download starting around $7.99 to $14.99. TV Guide listed $19.99 to buy and $5.99 to rent in May 2025, so exact prices vary by store, resolution, and sale timing.
- Rent in HD or 4K for one-time viewing
- Buy as a digital download to keep and rewatch
- Compare stores before checkout because resolution and sales change the price
Is there a legal free option?
No. Moviefone lists no legal free ad-supported option on Tubi or Pluto TV, and the film is not on Netflix. U.S.
viewers need a Starz add-on subscription, a paid retailer rental or purchase, or access through a library service carrying it. A library service can lower the cost if your local library offers the film. Availability differs by library system and format. Confirm access before canceling another option.
