We get this question a lot: How can I watch Stargate episodes and movies online?

Whether you are brand new to the Stargate franchise or just looking to revisit a favorite episode, there are places you can legally watch Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, SGU, and the movies on the Internet — at least with the right subscription. (Episodes and full seasons are also available for sale, if you’d rather download it to own.)

Here’s a quick and handy guide for where the shows are currently streaming for U.S. viewers. Outside the U.S. check these and other digital streaming services and retail outlets. Rights differ from one country to the next, and they change from time to time.

(Note: GateWorld receives a commission from purchases made through Amazon links. Thank you for supporting the site!)

We will try to keep this guide updated as things change. If you know of a change in one of the show’s online availability, please drop us a tip!

UDPATED: June 2020

WATCHING STARGATE SG-1

Amazon: All 10 seasons are currently included with Amazon Prime. Prime subscribers can watch the show’s entire run for no additional cost. (The SG-1 follow-up movies, The Ark of Truth and Continuum, are also currently streaming on Prime. Here’s the order we recommend you watch them in — especially if you are mixing Stargate Atlantis in there, too.)

Hulu: All 10 seasons of SG-1 are available to stream on Hulu (with a paid subscription). Hulu costs $7.99 per month with ads, or $11.99 per month ad-free.

If you have access to both Amazon Prime and Hulu, watch the show through Amazon. The visuals are a higher quality, with a 16:9 aspect ratio. (Hulu seems to have the original 4:3 episodes in 480p, which in some older seasons can look quite grainy on modern HD displays.)

Episodes and seasons are available for purchase from: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and other retail sites.

Video Quality: Seasons 1 through 7 of Stargate SG-1 are available on standard definition only (since they were produced in an era when HD televisions were not yet common). Seasons 8, 9, and 10 are available in both HD and standard def.

WATCHING STARGATE ATLANTIS

Amazon: All five seasons are currently included with Amazon Prime. Prime subscribers can stream all 100 episodes of the show for no additional cost.

Hulu: All five seasons of SGA are available to watch with your Hulu subscription.

Episodes and seasons are available for purchase from: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and other retail sites.

Video Quality: Stargate Atlantis is available in both HD and standard definition. (At retail, HD of course runs a few bucks more.) Streaming services will stream the highest quality your Internet connection is able to handle.

WATCHING STARGATE UNIVERSE

Amazon: Both seasons of SGU are currently available free with Amazon Prime. Prime subscribers can stream all 40 episodes of the show for no additional cost.

Hulu: Both seasons are available on Hulu in their entirety.

Episodes and seasons are available for purchase from: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and other retail sites.

Video Quality: Stargate Universe is available in both HD and standard definition.

WATCHING THE STARGATE MOVIES

At present, none of the three movies appear to be available on the major streaming services.

The original film also does not appear to be available for sale at present. However the two SG-1 movies are available for rental or purchase from: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and other retail sites.

Video Quality: The Stargate movies are available in both HD and standard definition.

WATCHING STARGATE ORIGINS

Stargate Origins was originally released in February and March, 2018, as a 10-part Web series. It streamed exclusively at MGM’s official Web site, StargateCommand.co. Since that site went offline at the end of 2019, Origins is no longer available in this format. (Find more details on the site’s closure here.)

In June of 2018 the series was re-cut as the feature-length movie Stargate Origins: Catherine. That is available to buy from iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and elsewhere.

Video Quality: Stargate Origins is available in both HD and standard definition.

STARGATE INFINITY

The 2002 animated series isn’t an official part of Stargate’s canon — and it isn’t available to stream online for free from any of the major carriers. However you can now watch through Amazon Prime by purchasing the “CONtv” add-on service ($4.99 per month after a 7-day free trial).

Hoopla also has all 26 episodes available to borrow. This is a service available only to public libraries — so you have to have a library card, and your library must be a Hoopla subscriber. Then you can “check out” episodes for 72 hours at a time, and watch them through mobile devices, a Web browser, and certain streaming apps. There are limits to the number of items you can borrow in a month.

Infinity ran for a single season and is available for purchase on DVD.

IS STARGATE ON NETFLIX?

While it has been in the past, the Stargate TV series are not currently licensed to Netflix in the United States.

There are more than 350 episodes of Stargate … so get to it! Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, we hope you enjoy watching.

While you watch you can find deep-dive episode analyses right here at GateWorld, along with discussion forums for every season and episode, cast and crew interviews, the Stargate Omnipedia, and much more to keep you company along the way.

This guide is accurate as of the date listed at the top. If you’ve spotted a change on one of these streaming services, please take a moment and let us know.
