It’s been decades since “The Karate Kid” crane-kicked its way into pop culture history, and now the beloved franchise is back with a brand-new chapter.

“Karate Kid: Legends” hit theaters on May 30, raking in $21 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. While it didn’t manage to top “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” or Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” live-action remake, it still packed enough punch to get fans talking.

Directed by Jonathan Entwistle, “Legends” brings together martial arts icons Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio alongside a new generation hero — Li Fong, played by the talented Ben Wang. The result is a fast-paced, feel-good action-comedy that doesn’t aim for perfection, but hits its stride with charm.

Sure, it could’ve used more time with its legendary masters and a little breathing room between brawls, but thanks to Wang’s charismatic lead performance, “Karate Kid: Legends” earns its spot in the franchise.

So, where can you catch all the action from the comfort of your own home? Here’s our guide on how you can stream “Karate Kid: Legends.”

Watch On

“Karate Kid: Legends” is now available for digital rental and purchase as of July 7, 2025. The movie follows Sony’s recent 2025 PVOD pattern, which typically sees movies arriving on digital platforms about 4 to 5 weeks after their theatrical debut.

For context, “Until Dawn” hit theaters on April 25 and arrived on PVOD just under a month later on May 23, while “Heart Eyes” went from theaters on February 7 to PVOD on March 4.

Following this trend, “Karate Kid: Legends,” which was released in theaters on May 30, has now made its digital debut for audiences to watch at home. You can rent or buy this movie on platforms like Amazon and Apple TV.

When could ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ come to Netflix?

Following its PVOD release, “Karate Kid: Legends” is now streaming on Netflix, thanks to Sony’s ongoing Pay 1 deal with the platform. Historically, Sony titles appear on Netflix around four months after their theatrical release, typically on a Thursday.

In line with that pattern, “Karate Kid: Legends” officially arrived on Netflix on Thursday, September 27, 2025, giving fans a chance to stream the latest karate showdown from the comfort of their own homes.

Whether you missed it in theaters or want to watch it again, it’s now available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.
