With most theaters still closed and movies delayed due to Covid-19, there is a growing list of films that have opted for digital release. The live-action adaptation of Mulan is joining that list, and it will soon be available to stream on Disney Plus starting on September 4. However, Disney Plus subscribers won’t automatically get access to Mulan at launch, and this detail along with some other fine print has added a bit of confusion around its premiere. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Disney’s Mulan, including where you can watch it and when it will be available for free.

Where Can I Watch Mulan 2020?
Currently, the only place you can stream Mulan is on Disney Plus. However, it will also be available for purchase on select platforms such as Google Play, the Apple App Store, and Roku. Other platforms have not yet been confirmed.
Regardless of where you choose to watch Mulan, the price of entry will be $29.99/£19.99/$34.99 (AUD) in addition to $6.99/£5.99/$8.99 (AUD) — or the cost of a monthly Disney Plus subscription. The Disney Plus site states that as long as you have a Disney Plus subscription, you will continue to have access to Mulan and can watch it as many times as you like.
Disney Plus is supported in several regions across the world, including Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Japan (among many others). Some regions that don’t support Disney Plus, like China, will be getting a theatrical release.
Here’s the list of places you can watch Mulan (links will be added once the pages are live):
- Disney Plus
- Google Play Films
- Apple App Store
- Roku

What is Premiere Access on Disney Plus?
Premiere Access is essentially a one-time payment on top of the Disney Plus subscription to get access to Mulan.
When Can I Watch Mulan For Free?
If you don’t wish to spend more money on top of a subscription, Mulan will be available to all Disney Plus subscribers starting on December 4. For those without Disney Plus, it’s technically not free since you still need to have a subscription to watch it, and unfortunately, a free trial offered directly from Disney Plus is currently not available.
There are money-saving alternatives to consider, like Verizon’s offer that includes 1 year of Disney Plus free with an unlimited data plan or the Hulu/Disney Plus/ESPN bundle for $12.99 (both in the US). You can also get six months free of Disney Plus when signing up with O2 in the UK, but all of these options still require you to spend money.
Disney Plus also supports four different devices under each account (and they can all stream at the same time), so if you have a family member or good friend who is willing to share, that’s an option too.
