The Tom Cruise starrer also earned Academy Awards nominations for best picture, best adapted screenplay and best original song (for Lady Gaga and BloodPop’s “Hold My Hand”) in addition to two Golden Globes nods, including best motion picture in the drama category. (Despite his absence at the Oscars, Cruise still garnered plenty of attention at the ceremony.)

After raking in well over $1 billion worldwide, the Top Gun sequel landed on Paramount+ and Amazon-owned MGM+ (formerly Epix) last December. It’s also available to buy or rent on Amazon’s Prime Video, iTunes, Redbox, Vudu and other video-on-demand platforms.

Tom Cruise reprises his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, who returns more than 30 years after the events in the original film to train the latest class of elite naval aviators. Original Top Gun star Val Kilmer appears briefly as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, and the film also stars Miles Teller (as the son of Mav’s late pal and radar intercept officer, Goose), Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Jay Ellis and Greg Tarzan Davis.

Where to Watch Top Gun: Maverick Online

Top Gun: Maverick is available to stream online on Paramount+ ($5 to $10 monthly) and MGM+ ($6 monthly), which was previously Epix. A subscription is required for both streaming services, which each offer seven-day free trials.

You can also buy or rent Top Gun: Maverick and the original film on digital on Amazon Prime Video (on sale for $3 to $17 for a limited time), Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube Movies & Shows.

Paramount+ costs $5 per month for the ad-supported Essential plan or $10 monthly for the Premium option. Paramount+ also comes with a seven-day free trial, so new subscribers can watch Top Gun: Maverick for free during that period.

Both Paramount+ packages include 24/7 live news with CBS, NFL on CBS live and Paramount Network films and original content including the original Top Gun, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Mike Judge’s new Beavis and Butt-Head series, Yellowstone prequel series 1883 and 1923, the Star Trek universe, the making-of-The Godfather show The Offer, the Emmy-nominated RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars and more. Subscribers also get access to movies and shows from BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV and the Smithsonian Channel and Paramount feature films such as The Lost City, Django Unchained, Scream, The Fighter and more.

However, only the Premium tier lets you watch your local CBS station and live sports (including March Madness, Champions League and NFL games), enjoy limited ads (only on live TV and select shows), stream on up to three devices, create profiles for other family members and download select shows to watch later.
