where to watch the great gatsby

You can watch The Great Gatsby (2013, Leonardo DiCaprio) mainly via paid streaming and digital rental/purchase; fully free options are limited and may change over time.

Main ways to watch right now

1. Subscription streaming

  • Prime Video (US and many regions) – Available as part of a Prime subscription in some regions, or via Prime’s catalog with ads in others.
  • TVision (US) – Listed as a subscription streaming option for the 2013 film.
  • Regional services (outside US) –
    • Australia: Netflix (including ad tier), Stan, Foxtel Now have carried the film regionally.
* Canada: STARZ via Crave has offered it in their library.

* New Zealand: Netflix has carried it there as well.

Availability can rotate, so it may appear or disappear depending on the month or your country.

2. Digital rental or purchase (VOD)

If it’s not on a subscription service in your region, the most reliable route is renting or buying it digitally :

  • Amazon Video / Prime Video Store – Rent or buy in HD/4K.
  • Apple TV / iTunes Store – Rent or buy; commonly listed in HD/4K and works on Apple devices and many smart TVs.
  • Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) – Rent or purchase for streaming on many TV and device apps.
  • Microsoft Store (some regions) – Rent or purchase for Windows/Xbox ecosystems.

These stores are generally stable over time, even when subscription services rotate the title out.

3. Free (with library or specialty access)

  • Kanopy / Hoopla (library platforms) – In some regions, the movie has been available free to stream with a participating public library or university card.
  • To use these, you typically:
    1. Create an account with your library card.
    2. Search for “The Great Gatsby (2013)”.
    3. Stream directly through the app or website if it’s in your library’s catalog.

Titles on Kanopy/Hoopla also rotate, so check your local library’s listing.

Why availability keeps changing

The movie moves between services because of licensing deals , regional rights , and content rotation policies on platforms like Netflix or Prime. A country might have it on Netflix for a few months, drop it, then bring it back later as part of a new content window.

Think of it like a traveling exhibit: the movie "visits" Netflix or another platform for a season, then moves on, even though it’s still always on sale at the digital “gift shop” (Amazon, Apple, etc.).

Quick step‑by‑step: find it in your country

  1. Check your main subscription apps
    • Open Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc.
    • Search “The Great Gatsby” plus the year 2013 to avoid older adaptations.
  1. If you don’t see it, go to a store app
    • Open Amazon Video, Apple TV, or Fandango at Home.
    • It’s very often rentable/purchasable even when not included “for free” anywhere.
  1. Check library-based services
    • If you have a library card, try Kanopy or Hoopla and search the title.
  1. Last resort: physical media
    • DVD/Blu‑ray copies are widely sold online (e.g., Amazon) and work regardless of streaming licenses, as long as you match the disc region.

Mini note on “latest news” and forums

  • Recent streaming guides and user posts often mention that Prime Video and digital rental stores are the most consistent way to watch the film as of 2025–2026, with Netflix availability coming and going by region.
  • Forum discussions frequently include tips like: use the full title and year in your search bar, and check “Coming Soon” / “Recently Added” sections because movies like The Great Gatsby sometimes get a short promotional window when they return.

TL;DR:

  • First, search your local Prime Video and Netflix apps.
  • If it’s not included for free, you can almost always rent or buy it on Amazon Video, Apple TV, or Fandango at Home.
  • Library services like Kanopy/Hoopla may offer it free if your library participates.
