You can watch the Groundhog Day movie and the 2026 Groundhog Day events in a few different ways, depending on what you’re looking for: the Bill Murray film, the live Punxsutawney Phil celebration, or both.

Where to watch Groundhog Day (1993 movie) in 2026

As of early 2026, the Bill Murray classic is available on several major platforms.

In the United States

  • Netflix (subscription streaming).
  • AMC+ (standalone app or channel add‑on via services like Prime Video).
  • Philo (live TV/streaming bundle carrying AMC, which also airs the movie).
  • Sling TV (via AMC or bundle where Groundhog Day may be in rotation).

Digital rental or purchase (US and many other regions) These are good if it disappears from subscription services but you still want it on demand.

  • Amazon / Prime Video – rent or buy digital.
  • Apple TV / iTunes – rent or buy.
  • Google Play / YouTube – rent or buy.
  • Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) – rent or buy.

Canada and UK examples Availability is similar but not identical, and regional catalogs can change.

  • Canada: streaming via services like Crave / Starz-related channels, with digital rental on Amazon and Apple TV.
  • UK: listings show availability on major subscription and rental platforms, but exact services vary by date.

If you’re outside the US, it’s smart to check a local streaming guide (like JustWatch in your country) on or just before February 2, 2026, because licenses can shift month to month.

Where to watch Groundhog Day 2026 events (Punxsutawney Phil)

If by “Groundhog Day 2026” you mean the actual shadow‑watching ceremony, you can stream the real‑world event live.

  • The official celebration is held in Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
  • There is an official live stream hosted via Pennsylvania’s tourism site (Visit Pennsylvania), where you can watch Phil’s prediction online.

News outlets and local stations often embed the same feed or run their own coverage, so you may also find it on major news sites or their apps on the morning of February 2, 2026.

TV marathons and live‑TV options

If you like the old‑school “it’s just on TV all day” vibe, some channels traditionally run marathons.

  • AMC often airs Groundhog Day multiple times on February 2, and sometimes as a mini‑marathon.
  • You can access AMC via:
    1. Philo.
2. Sling TV.

3. Some cable/satellite packages (check your local listings near Feb 2).

One example schedule notes AMC airing the film several times across Groundhog Day (morning through evening), so you can drop in at almost any time.

Quick plan depending on your mood

  • “I just want to click play now” → Check Netflix first (US) or your main subscription service; if it’s not there, rent it on Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, or YouTube.
  • “I want the Groundhog Day experience on Feb 2, 2026” →
    1. Put on the live Punxsutawney Phil stream from Visit Pennsylvania in the morning.
2. Then watch _Groundhog Day_ on Netflix or AMC/AMC+ later in the day.
  • “I don’t want to chase it every year” → Buy a digital copy on Amazon, Apple TV, or Google Play so it’s always in your library.
