You can stream Denis Villeneuve's Dune (2021), the first part of his adaptation of Frank Herbert's desert-planet saga, on Max with a Max plan or bundle subscription. In the U.S. you can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple TV Store and Fandango at Home, or watch free with ads on Tubi.

Stream it with a subscription
Max lists Denis Villeneuve's Dune (2021, PG-13) as available to stream with a Max plan or bundle subscription. That makes Max the direct answer for most U.S. subscribers.
JustWatch's U.S. listing also reports streaming access through HBO Max, HBO Max Amazon Channel, YouTube TV, TNT, TBS and truTV. Those paths cover subscribers or authenticated pay-TV users, who can watch without a separate rental, according to the U.S. JustWatch listing.
Rent or buy it digitally
The same U.S. listing shows download purchase on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store and Fandango at Home. It shows online rental from those same three storefronts.
Rental has been an affordable catch-up route. TheWrap reported digital rental around $5.99 from Apple, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, DirecTV, Vudu and others. Digital purchase plus 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD remain available from retailers.
- Rent if you want one viewing and can finish soon after starting.
- Buy digitally if you plan repeat viewings before Part Two.
- Buy on disc if you want permanent offline access and extras.
Can you watch free legally?
Yes, through ad-supported streaming. After leaving Netflix, Dune (2021) began streaming free with ads on Tubi starting February 1. ComicBook.com reports that no account is required to watch, though an account enables watchlists and resume, in its Tubi streaming report.
Free means ad breaks during the 155-minute-style epic. Picture quality and device support depend on Tubi. For film study, pause and resume work better with a free account.

Rental windows are tight. Decider notes that digital rentals on Prime Video and Apple TV typically allow 30 days to start watching and 48 hours to finish after pressing play, in its rental-window explainer. Availability also rotates by region and date.
The film is reported as no longer on Netflix in most regions. Recheck the current U.S. subscription versus rental listing before paying, especially around sequel releases and catalog moves.
