Is the film Mamma Mia on Netflix?

The short answer for most viewers: no. Mamma Mia! was removed from Netflix in the United States, Ireland, and many other regions in early 2024 when its licensing agreement expired. As of early 2025, the film is not available on Netflix in those territories. However, availability varies by region – some sources still list it on Netflix in the UK as of mid-2025 (JustWatch UK – still listed on Netflix).

Why did they remove Mamma Mia from Netflix?

Removals like these are standard for streaming services. Netflix licenses titles from studios for fixed periods, and when the contract ends, the film rotates out. Universal Pictures, the studio behind Mamma Mia!, may have chosen not to renew the license or may have moved the title to other platforms. According to Netflix’s own content rotation practices, most films leave after a few years unless renegotiated (Netflix – original film page).

“The removal of Mamma Mia! was part of standard license expiry cycles.” – Netflix (in press release about content rotation)

The catch

Even if you see Mamma Mia! on Netflix’s search results in some regions, that doesn’t mean it’s available to stream right now. The platform’s catalog differs by country, and the film’s title page may remain accessible even when the rights have lapsed in your location.

The pattern: Netflix’s removal is region-specific, and the only reliable way to check is to use a aggregator like JustWatch UK for your territory.

Where can I watch Mamma Mia in Ireland?

For Irish viewers, the options are straightforward: rent or buy digitally. The film is not currently on Netflix Ireland, and it’s not on Disney Plus either. You can rent or purchase Mamma Mia! on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Sky Store. Rental prices are around €3.99, and purchase around €14.99.

Where to watch Mamma Mia 2 in Ireland?

The sequel, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, is available on Netflix Ireland (Netflix – sequel page). It can also be rented or purchased on the same digital platforms as the original.

Where can I watch Mamma Mia 1 and 2?

If you want both films in one place, your best bet is to buy the 2-movie bundle on Amazon Prime Video, which often costs less than buying each separately. Alternatively, you can rent one and subscribe to Netflix for the sequel – but that means paying for both.

Bottom line: Irish viewers have no free streaming option for the original Mamma Mia!; the only legal way is to rent or buy. For the sequel, a Netflix subscription is the cheapest route.

Where to watch Mamma Mia 2?

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is widely available on Netflix in most regions including the US, UK, and Ireland (Netflix – sequel page). It can also be rented or purchased on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Apple TV for similar pricing to the original (rent $3.99, buy $14.99). No Mamma Mia 3 has been announced.

“No free streaming options are currently available for Mamma Mia! (2008) on any platform.” – JustWatch (aggregator statement)

Is Mamma Mia on Disney Plus or Netflix?

Neither. Mamma Mia! is not on Disney Plus in any region, and it’s no longer on Netflix in most major markets. The film is produced by Universal Pictures, not Disney, so it’s unlikely to appear on Disney Plus unless a future licensing deal is struck. As of 2025, the film is available on Hulu (in the US) and Peacock (in the US), but not via Disney’s platform (JustWatch US – streaming on Hulu, Peacock).

Is Mamma Mia in Disney?

No. The film is a Universal title, and Disney has no ownership stake. The only cross-over is the ABBA music, which is licensed separately.

The implication: If you’re looking for a subscription service, Hulu or Peacock are options for US viewers, but for Irish viewers, only rental or purchase works.

Is Mamma Mia free on Amazon Prime?

No, it is not included free with an Amazon Prime membership. You can either rent the film for $3.99 (UHD) or buy it for $14.99 (UHD) on Amazon Prime Video (
