Star Wars: The Force Awakens will finally air on television on Saturday, September 10 on Starz. The film will air on all six Starz channels beginning at 9 p.m.
Starz will also have the film, which stars Daisy Ridley as Rey and John Boyega as Finn, available on the Starz App. If you have added a Starz subscription to your Amazon Prime account, you can also stream it through there as well.
As Variety noted in July, The Force Awakens will be the last new Disney film Starz will have access to. This month, an exclusive deal between Disney and Netflix finally begins, with Zootopia and The Finest Hours available first. Starz retains the rights to air and distribute Disney movies it already has through 2017, so Netflix subscribers will have to wait awhile for The Force Awakens.
The Force Awakens was the first live-action Star Wars movie in a decade and broke the all-time box office record with a $247.9 million opening in December 2015. It went on to gross $2.06 billion worldwide and earned five Oscar nominations. It was directed by J.J. Abrams.
