"Groundhog Day" (1993) streams on no major US subscription service right now, but you can rent or buy it digitally everywhere, or catch it as an AMC+ add-on channel. It's also available through cable airings on AMC and, depending on where you check, possibly on the free, ad-supported service Tubi.

Renting and Buying the Film Digitally
The most reliable way to watch "Groundhog Day" today is to rent or buy it through a digital storefront. According to FOX 4 News, the film rents for $3.89 on Amazon Prime Video and Google Play Store, and for $3.99 on Vudu and Apple TV. None of these rentals require a subscription — you pay once and watch within your rental window. If you'd rather own a permanent copy, the same report lists a digital purchase price of $7.99 on Google Play Store, with Apple TV, YouTube, and Vudu also selling the film outright.
Buying separates you from rental time limits, so it's worth it if you plan to rewatch the movie every February 2nd. Pricing isn't fixed across every outlet or every report. Yahoo Canada previously listed the purchase price at $12.99, noticeably higher than the $7.99 figure in the 2026 Fox report. Check the price on your chosen storefront before buying, since digital pricing shifts and can vary by region.
Watching Through AMC+
AMC+ subscribers have a built-in path to the film, though it's not always through AMC+'s own app. FOX 6 Milwaukee reports the movie is included for AMC+ subscribers through the AMC+ Roku Premium Channel or the AMC+ Apple TV Channel — add-on channels tied to those specific platforms rather than a universal AMC+ subscription.
There's a more convenient route if you already pay for AMC+ as an add-on inside Amazon. Yahoo notes that viewers who subscribe to AMC+ through Amazon Prime Video Channels can watch "Groundhog Day" directly inside the Prime Video app, with no separate AMC+ login required. This matters if you're trying to figure out which app to open — the answer depends on how you originally signed up for AMC+, not just whether you have it.
Free Options — Cable Airings and Tubi
AMC has aired "Groundhog Day" repeatedly on cable, with FOX 6 Milwaukee reporting showtimes from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. local time on Groundhog Day itself, February 2, 2026. That's a free option for anyone with cable or antenna access to AMC, but it's tied to that specific date and the listed time slots — it isn't an on-demand way to watch whenever you want.
Beyond that single-day cable window, free streaming access has been inconsistent across reports. The New York Post, via AOL, reported in February 2026 that the film wasn't streaming on Netflix or Hulu and had no legal free US streaming option beyond paid rental, purchase, or an AMC+ subscription. That conflicts with a separate report from Tom's Guide, which says the film had been added to Tubi's free, ad-supported US library. Tom's Guide article carries no clear publish date, so it's unclear whether that Tubi listing came before or after the Post's "no free option" report. If you want to watch for free on Tubi, check the app directly, since availability on ad-supported platforms can change without notice.
Watching in Canada
Canadian viewers have a different, and more subscription-friendly, set of options. According to JustWatch's Canadian listing, the film is available to Crave subscribers in Canada, and also through Starz and Crave bundled via Amazon Prime Video Channels.
This access path is specific to Canada and doesn't carry over to US accounts — a US-based Amazon Prime Video Channels subscription to Starz won't necessarily surface the same listing. If you're outside the US, check Crave first before paying for a rental or purchase elsewhere.
Quick Reference for Choosing Where to Watch
Here's a short breakdown to match your situation:.
- Want it tonight with no subscription: rent on Amazon Prime Video or Google Play Store for $3.89, or Vudu/Apple TV for $3.99, per FOX 4 News.
- Want to own it permanently: buy on Google Play Store, Apple TV, YouTube, or Vudu — confirm the current listed price first, since it has ranged from $7.99 to $12.99 across reports.
- Already have AMC+ through Roku or Apple TV: watch it on the AMC+ channel directly.
- Already have AMC+ through Amazon: open the Prime Video app instead of looking for a separate AMC+ app.
- In Canada: check Crave or a Starz/Crave bundle through Amazon Prime Video Channels.
