"Twilight" (2008) is currently streaming free on both Netflix and The Roku Channel in the US, and it's also available to rent or buy on every major digital storefront. Which option makes sense depends on whether you already pay for a subscription, how often you rewatch the saga, and whether you want to own a copy outright. The vampire romance, based on Stephenie Meyer's novel and starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, has moved between platforms several times since its theatrical release, and its current lineup of homes reflects a licensing shift that happened within the last month.

Stream It With a Subscription: Netflix
Netflix added "Twilight" to its US library on October 1, 2026, bringing all five films in the Twilight Saga onto the service at once as part of a Halloween-season push, according to Netflix Junkie. That makes Netflix the simplest option for anyone who already subscribes, since the entire saga is in one place rather than split across services.
This arrangement wasn't guaranteed to last. The franchise exited Peacock for Hulu back in 2024, then returned to Peacock, and has now moved again, a pattern that PopCulture notes reflects how studio licensing deals periodically reshuffle where the saga lives. Anyone relying on a single streaming service for Twilight should expect another switch eventually, rather than assuming Netflix is permanent.
Why It's No Longer on Peacock
Peacock pulled "Twilight" and the rest of the saga from its library effective September 30, 2026, after its streaming license expired, according to FictionHorizon. That removal happened the day before Netflix's addition, which is why anyone who last checked Peacock in September will find the film missing if they look today.
If a Peacock account is your only streaming subscription, you won't find "Twilight" there anymore. Netflix and the free ad-supported options covered below are the current alternatives.
Watch It Free With Ads
The Roku Channel carries all five Twilight Saga films, including the 2008 original, at no cost beyond watching ads, which Roku confirms directly on its own blog. This is the most straightforward free option right now and doesn't require a Roku device — the channel is also accessible through its own app and website.
Pluto TV is a second ad-supported option, but it's less reliable for this specific title. iTechGuides reports that Pluto carries "Twilight" as part of rotating, scheduled programming rather than a guaranteed on-demand listing, so it may not be available the moment you check. If Pluto doesn't have it live, The Roku Channel is the more dependable free route.
Rent or Buy Digitally
If you'd rather not rely on a subscription or ads, every major digital storefront carries "Twilight" for rental or purchase: JustWatch's US listing confirms the same buy-or-rent availability on Apple TV, Amazon Video, and Microsoft Store, and adds Spectrum On Demand as an additional rental option for Spectrum cable subscribers. Renting makes sense for a one-time watch, while buying is worthwhile if you want a permanent copy that won't disappear when a streaming license expires — as just happened on Peacock.
- **Amazon Prime Video**: rent for $3.99, or buy for $7.99 (SD) to $12.99 (HD/4K), per KinoCheck's storefront listing
- **Apple TV**: rent for $3.99, or buy for $14.99, per the same KinoCheck listing
- **Fandango At Home** (formerly Vudu): rent for $3.99, or buy from $9.99 (SD) up to $14.99 (4K), according to KinoCheck
Which Option Fits You
.
- **Already have Netflix**: watch it there now, as part of the full saga.
- **Don't want to pay anything**: use The Roku Channel, which guarantees access rather than Pluto TV's rotating schedule.
- **Want it without a subscription and don't mind a small fee**: rent for $3.99 on Amazon, Apple TV, or Fandango At Home.
- **Want to keep a copy regardless of future licensing changes**: buy on Amazon Video for the lowest purchase price, $7.99 in SD.
