Watch Mulan for Free on Disney+ Starting December 4, 2020

Disney's live-action remake of Mulan, originally slated for a theatrical premiere this year, shifted to Disney+ due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While early access requires a Premier Access fee on top of your subscription, the film will soon be available to all Disney+ subscribers at no extra cost.

What Is Mulan?

Mulan is Disney's live-action adaptation of the beloved 1998 animated classic, directed by Niki Caro and starring Liu Yifei in the titular role.

The story follows a determined young woman who disguises herself as a man to join the Imperial Army and spare her ailing father from duty.

Disney delayed the theatrical release multiple times, even after a Hollywood premiere in March 2020. When theaters remained closed amid the pandemic, the studio pivoted to Disney+.

How to Watch Mulan for Free

Disney+ normally costs $6.99 per month, but Mulan launched on September 4 via Premier Access for a one-time $29.99 fee in the US. Keep your subscription active, and you can rewatch anytime.

Without a subscription, purchase from platforms like Apple, Google, or Roku. Prices vary internationally—Premier Access is cheaper in Europe and Australia, but unavailable for purchase in France due to theater disputes.

For free viewing, wait until December 4, 2020, when Mulan becomes available to all Disney+ subscribers (subscription required), as confirmed by the Disney+ Help Center.
