Sicario (2015) is the Denis Villeneuve-directed crime thriller starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio del Toro. As of October 2026, it streams on Hulu and HBO Max, and it's available to rent or buy digitally on several major platforms.
The film left Netflix in the US on May 1, 2026, the same day it arrived on Hulu, according to ComingSoon.net. It then picked up a second streaming home on HBO Max that August. Each option below covers a different need, from a no-extra-cost subscription to an outright purchase.

Where Is Sicario Streaming Right Now?
Hulu has carried Sicario since May 1, 2026, when it went live at 9am PT/12pm ET, immediately after the film's Netflix exit, according to reporting from news.ssbcrack.com via ComingSoon.net. Anyone with an active Hulu subscription can watch it there at no added cost. HBO Max added the film starting August 1, 2026, and it was still ranking in the platform's movies top 10 as of mid-August, per SlashFilm.
That means subscribers to either Hulu or HBO Max currently have a way to watch it without paying per-title. One report from Soap Central claimed the film would move to Peacock around September 1, but no other outlet confirms this, and it conflicts with the Hulu and HBO Max listings above, according to Soap Central. Treat that claim as unverified rather than a third subscription option.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent or Buy?
If you don't subscribe to Hulu or HBO Max, Sicario is available as a digital rental starting at $3.99 on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google TV/Google Play, YouTube, and Spectrum On Demand, according to Moviefone. A rental typically gives you a limited viewing window, usually 48 hours once you press play.
For permanent access, the film is available to purchase starting at $4.99 on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google TV/Google Play, and YouTube, per the same Moviefone listing. Buying keeps the title in your digital library indefinitely on that platform, which is useful if you want to rewatch it without re-paying.
- Rent (temporary access): Apple TV, Prime Video, Google TV/Play, YouTube, Spectrum On Demand — from $3.99
- Buy (permanent access): Apple TV, Prime Video, Google TV/Play, YouTube — from $4.99
Is There a Free, Legal Way to Watch Sicario?
No ad-supported free streaming option currently carries Sicario. JustWatch's own regional listings for the UK, Denmark, Canada, Netherlands, and India each explicitly show no free streaming source for the title, according to JustWatch.
That rules out common ad-supported services like Tubi, Pluto TV, or Freevee for this particular film. If you already pay for Hulu or HBO Max, that's effectively the closest thing to a no-extra-cost option, since the film is included in those subscriptions rather than requiring a separate rental fee.
Does Availability Change Outside the US?
Yes, and the difference is significant. JustWatch's UK page lists Sicario on Lionsgate+ and Amazon Channels, a different lineup entirely from the US streaming services, according to JustWatch's UK listing.
Its Denmark page shows yet another combination: Netflix, Prime Video, Viaplay, and HBO Max, per JustWatch's Denmark listing. This means the Hulu and HBO Max availability described above applies to US viewers and shouldn't be assumed to carry over elsewhere. Streaming rights for a film are typically licensed country by country, which is why Netflix still carries the film in Denmark even though it dropped it in the US back in May 2026.
- US: Hulu, HBO Max (subscription); rent/buy on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google TV/Play, YouTube
- UK: Lionsgate+, Amazon Channels
- Denmark: Netflix, Prime Video, Viaplay, HBO Max
How to Check Your Own Region
Because licensing varies this much by country, the fastest way to confirm what's available where you live is to check a region-specific aggregator rather than rely on a US-focused list. JustWatch maintains separate pages per country, and the UK, Denmark, Canada, Netherlands, and India pages linked above each reflect only that market's current deals.
- Search "Sicario" on JustWatch and select your country from the site
- Confirm whether the result is a subscription, rental, or purchase listing
- Re-check periodically, since streaming rights shift between services every few months, as the US move from Netflix to Hulu to HBO Max shows
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sicario still on Netflix?
No. It left Netflix in the US on May 1, 2026, the same day it moved to Hulu, according to ComingSoon.net.
Can I watch Sicario for free legally?
Not in the regions checked. JustWatch's UK, Denmark, Canada, Netherlands, and India pages all show no free streaming option for the title, per JustWatch.
Is the Peacock listing for Sicario accurate?
It's unconfirmed. Only Soap Central reported a Peacock move, and that conflicts with the corroborated Hulu and HBO Max availability, according to Soap Central.
