Having quickly become a fan-favorite after launching in 2017, knowing how to watch The Greatest Showman is likely to be on a few peoples' minds. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find on streaming services. Unless you're in the US, Canada, India, or Australia, that is - if you are, you can stream The Greatest Showman via the Disney Plus streaming service.

Disney Plus: See deals and offers here

If you live in any of those regions, all you need to watch The Greatest Showman online is a Disney Plus membership. The musical can be found on the House of Mouse's streaming service, allowing you to stream The Greatest Showman as often as you like.

Sadly, the UK doesn't enjoy the same luxury. Brits can't stream The Greatest Showman at all, and must instead buy or rent it. Boo!

Inspired by the tale of real-life businessman P.T. Barnum in the 1800s, The Greatest Showman is a musical that celebrates "the birth of show business." After rising to fame from nothing, Barnum - portrayed here by Hugh Jackman - goes on a mission to create an almighty spectacle like none the world has ever seen. Starring Zendaya, Zac Efron, and plenty of other recognizable faces, it's a feel-good film that aims to pull at your heartstrings.

Not that you'll only want to watch The Greatest Showman via Disney's streaming service, of course. You can also scratch that musical itch further and stream Hamilton (the hit Broadway show) or watch Black is King, Beyoncé's visual album. Want to know more about what you're getting for your money? Our Disney Plus explainer has you covered.

If you're convinced, we've got all the details you need on how to watch The Greatest Showman below - including a few Disney Plus sign-up offers.

Watch The Greatest Showman - US

Disney Plus | $7.99 per month
Want to stream The Greatest Showman in the USA? No problem: all you need is a Disney Plus membership. The cheapest deal right now is a standard month for $7.99. This provides you with everything the streaming service has to offer, and it's easy to cancel if you just want to watch The Greatest Showman and leave. Think you might want to stick around? There's also a bundle that gets you Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for $13.99 per month. That's our favorite offer so far, and comfortably the best Disney Plus bundles we've seen to date.

Watch The Greatest Showman - Canada

Disney Plus | $11.99 per month
Keen to watch The Greatest Showman online in Canada? Easy: just pick up a Disney Plus subscription. The musical is available on the streaming service right now for $11.99 per month, along with hundreds of hours of TV shows, movies, and documentaries. Thanks to a lack of a Disney Plus free trial, we'd recommend grabbing a single month and seeing how you go. Because there's no binding, long-term contract, it's easy to cancel as well. That means you can leave straight away if you just want to stream The Greatest Showman, and / or have had your fill of everything else Disney's got to offer.

Watch The Greatest Showman - UK

Not currently available to stream
Bad news, everyone - you can't stream The Greatest Showman in the UK. Instead, you'll need to either buy it digitally and physically or rent it via the likes of Amazon from £3.49 for the HD version. We suspect it'll eventually wind up on Disney Plus, and rights issues are likely causing problems. When / if it does finally arrive, the UK Disney Plus membership is pretty good value - it's £7.99 per month (not that this is the only deal out there... you could always get your loved ones a Disney Plus gift card if you're stuck for present ideas).
