When The Mandalorian TV show hit Disney Plus in 2019, it became an instant sensation. Fans praised its sets and characters, were intrigued by its unique storyline, and fell in love with young Grogu, a.k.a. Baby Yoda.
Since its initial release via digital media, many fans have wondered if the show will see a physical release. Is it going to come out on DVD or Blu-ray? And if so, when?
The Mandalorian has not been officially released to DVD or Blu-ray, and it is unclear when or if it will be. As of this writing, the only way to watch The Mandalorian is on Disney Plus.

Is The Mandalorian Currently Out on DVD or Blu-Ray?
If you do a search for The Mandalorian on DVD or Blu-ray, you will most likely find a few results. That said, the show has never been officially released to these media.
Any DVD or Blu-ray of The Mandalorian is most likely a bootlegged copy–in other words, it is being produced and sold illegally.
So, while a few DVDs and Blu-rays of the show do technically exist and can be found online, you probably shouldn’t buy any of them.
Disney has not released either of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian except in their online platform, Disney Plus.
That means that if the show has been produced in any other format, including DVD or Blu-ray, it is a copyright infringement.
Will The Mandalorian Come Out on DVD or Blu-Ray?
If you’ve been waiting for The Mandalorian to be released on physical media, you may be wondering how much longer you’ll have to wait.
Maybe you haven’t seen the show yet, or you have seen it and would like to own a physical copy of it. Whatever the reason, you can expect to continue waiting.
No DVD or Blu-ray release date has been announced for The Mandalorian.
In fact, it remains unclear whether Disney ever plans to release the show on DVD or Blu-ray, or if they plan to just keep it on Disney Plus.
Many fans expect that it will eventually see a physical release considering there is still a large market for DVDs and Blu-rays. It seems unlikely that Disney would pass up a good opportunity to make more money.
Perhaps it is simply a matter of time. The Mandalorian continues to perform well on Disney Plus, and a third season is set to be released. It’s possible that Disney is waiting until interest in the online format has run its course before releasing it to DVD or Blu-ray.
At any rate, we do not currently know if or when this popular show will be available in a physical format.
Where Can You Watch The Mandalorian?
As of this writing, The Mandalorian is only available on Disney Plus. To watch the show on this platform, you will need to sign up for a monthly or yearly subscription to Disney Plus.
This is actually a pretty good deal if you’re a fan of Disney or at least are interested in watching other Star Wars shows such as The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, The Bad Batch, or the final season of The Clone Wars.
A single subscription will grant you access to all of these shows, along with many other Disney shows and movies.
If you are only interested in watching The Mandalorian, you may be frustrated that you can only watch it online and that you have to pay a subscription to do so.
Unfortunately, that is the only way you can watch the show at present. If you want to, you can sign up for a monthly subscription and simply cancel it when you have finished watching The Mandalorian.
Keep in mind, however, that the story of Din Djarin and Grogu continues in later episodes of The Book of Boba Fett, and that it will further continue when Season 3 of The Mandalorian is released on Disney Plus.
This brings us to a related question:
When Will The Mandalorian Season 3 Come Out?
Season 2 of The Mandalorian hit Disney Plus in fall of 2020, and a crossover series, The Book of Boba Fett, followed a year later.
Since then, fans have been wondering when the story would continue. When is Season 3 of The Mandalorian set to come out?
This highly-anticipated season is scheduled to premiere on March 1, 2023. You can check out the official trailer below:
As with the first two seasons, Season 3 will be released to Disney Plus. It is unclear when or if it will be available in DVD or Blu-ray format.
Conclusion
The popular Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian has not been officially released in any format outside of Disney Plus. No official DVD or Blu-ray release date has been announced, so it is uncertain whether the show will come out in either of these formats.
You can watch Seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian, as well as the crossover show The Book of Boba Fett, on Disney Plus. Season 3 of The Mandalorian is also set for release in March of 2023.
